Thanks. Yep, my plan is to drive it on weekends, weather permitting. I get to drive it for the first time in a couple weeks...I'll let you know. The engine was completely rebuilt and I went with a slightly larger/modified turbo. The intercooler was already an upgrade over the OEM model. She should get on down the road just fine.

She's a beauty. What have been your driving impressions so far? The turbo at altitude is the way to go!

Wow, great project. Well done rushfan. It would be fun to see/hear a video of the engine starting and revving.

Thanks. It is an absolute pleasure to drive and unlike anything else I've ever driven. I put on about 2,800 miles from June to November and loved every minute of it.

Thanks...it was long-time in the making, but worth the wait in the end. I'll look to post some videos when I get a chance.
