 Work that needs to completed:

Wiring and mount ECU

Heat exchanger for intercooler comes with sale, will need to be fabbed and installed. Water tank need more fab work. Bosch water pump installed.

Heater hoses need to be hooked up for heat to work.

Speedo does not work. Trans harness has 2 outputs for digital speedo.

 Regarding the rust on roof, this can be repaired and vinyl top installed without having to repaint the whole car.

 I have many parts that come with sale. All fluids have been changed and the car is ready to drive anywhere. I wouldn’t hesitate to take it on a long trip. It has great street manners and doesn’t complain too much cruising as low as 1400rpm in 6th. No leaks anywhere except a small seep at the rear axle retainer. Car is pretty fuel efficient if you can keep your foot out of it. Overall a very solid car that is a blast to drive when the boost kicks in. Puts a smile on my face every time and shocks all new passengers!
