I like to refer to the car as my "mid-life crisis"
Here is a pic of the car, not much remains stock and yes it really goes.

You running a bottle?

Nope, not on the bottle, but the engine is plenty strong.
also running a Ford Racing close ratio 5 speed, Wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear brake calipers, and Penzoil 10w-40. Makes for a very fun ride

Well, that very nice. I wish I could afford a mid-life crisis.
As a follow-up, I REALLY enjoy these pictures. It makes me want to take post one of my 1995 Saab 900, which currently has 229,900 miles on the odometer (all mine except for 1.8). There's not much to see on the non-turbo models. Maybe someone else with a Saab will post one for folks to see.
Keep them coming.
Keep them coming.

here's a pic mocking up the new setup in the Galant to check clearance with the new manifolds & turbo.
motor is coming back out so that I can do some tidying up (removing 4WS & ABS, among other things) and there are some other minor housekeeping tasks to be done as well.
Already deleted a/c so that I could put the radiator up where the condenser went.

Here's what happens when you pull a Tim Taylor and measure once, cut twice (torqued the spark plugs to 150ft/lbs... Instead of 150in/lbs.)
You can't be serious...

Sadly... Very. I promise you the common-sense gods were not on my side that day.
Took me three months almost to take it apart and piece it back together, but working with bare hands, in sub-zero weather, in the full outdoors no less, taught me alot.

This is the torquemonster diesel in my 1981 VW Rabbit pickup
65 horses of air cooled fury!
Wish I still had it
