prothe : nop the car ran a normal carburator with a plunger pump on the old petrol engine block. All I had to do was to add a return, which i did by acetylene welding on the fuel gauge sender unit (did not do welding personally due to very thin metal but left that to a pro).
jtanguay : I share your concern re. manifold however that seems to be the only factory made one that fits! (off a non intercooled sierra 1.8 td). All other manifolds i tried had the turbo facing to the rear and would hit the bulkhead. Mods wise it has a tuned AAZ injector pump and a modified 2.5 turbo, however the intercooler is quite large. Shamefully i admitt that i do not have an egt gauge but will be nagging my brother to be fitting one soon.
TomB : Car had plenty of rust esp under front wings, around shock turrets, fuel tank (replaced for safety) and door sills... a pannelbeater fixed it up as a favour and took 2 years to do so lol
nokivasara : running on and off ... still having interior being done as well as loads of internal body modifications being done by someone who works about 10 hours a week on it lol but on weekends we put a seat in, put the plates off one of our other cars and drive it all day long. No complaints till now.
