Just like it reads fellas. Finally got this thing running, registered, and down in California. Wasn't even running, flew up to Washington state Wednesday, working on it for 2 days, drove it all the way down to Socal! Mission accomplished.

Tps was bad, fuel line ruptured, injectors burnt out, power steering hose burst, lots of problems (Fixed Now). But now is running alright. See attatched pic! It's missing the bi wing, and you can't really see the offset hoodscoop in this pic but its an SVO.

Next i have a t3/t4 turbo that needs installing, volvo front mount intercooler, and my new fuel pressure regulator.

Congrats. Time to take it to the track and see what it runs before you install the new turbo.

Thanks KD!

Ron, i still have a few things to do before i think its track ready. Needs a new t stat, theres an oil leak, it needs new bushing all around. I just installed polyeurathane end link bushings and I'm going to do so for the sway bar, and rear end. It's got a way to go before I would feel safe to track it. But it'll get there eventually.
