    By the way, you are my hero for DDing an X-19. Always been a fan!
    Engine sourced! It from an '89 430. So FI 2.8, one of the intake valves is bigger, water cooled turbos, etc.

    I'm going to run the the ignition setup from the 84 and megasquirt for fuel, eventually I'll move to megasquirt for ignition as well.

    I'm just concerned how long the Salisbury diff will last. Though I think I've read that they replaced a bunch of SensiTork diffs under warranty with Salisburys.

    My Biturbo will be back on the road by mid-late February. I was hoping to find a FI engine or at least intake/plenum/tb. But funds just won't allow.

    Got some better pictures emailed to me yesterday. The carpet redye went better than expected, the carbon is looking great, the stitch work is on par with factory.

    We still need to redo the HVAC controls as they are still brown. You can see that the buttons above the HVAC came out great when dyed black to match the new interior. All in all, I am very pleased. Q&C welcome.




    Thanks again for looking.

    I appreciate the leads. I sent an email to the guy in Savannah since it's not that far away and would be worth my while.

    The 2K one might be enough for the windshield and then part it out.

    Best case scenario, that car is worth 7K in flawless condition.

    I spent 80% of my free time as a kid with my dad in the garage and I am thankful for it every day. I moved 300 miles away 3 years ago and have little time to work on this with him. He's been mailing me interior parts so we can split up the work and we both spend a great deal of time scouring ebay, craigslist and whatnot for parts. It's definitely kept us close.

    Thanks for the kind words.
