update, got a few miles in this year , ran pretty good, motor is back out, just wasn't satisfied with the performance, looking to go bigger in just about every department, alot of choices out there everything is up in the air at the moment, I will be staying 4 cyl. turbo thats for sure but displacement will be bigger as well as the turbo. that being said I would really like to get some body and paint work done as well. but time will tell. should have some parts for sale soon. thanks to everyone for the words of advice and encouragement.
