Shouldn't you finish fixing one car before you start on the next?

Re: Astron Boys Gen 1 Turbo Magna
Meh, whatever that is can eventually go boom then I'll replace it.
Car's perfectly fine mechanically otherwise.

Re: Astron Boys Gen 1 Turbo Magna
Given the old website is now gone I should upload the old shots, will do so soon.
Meanwhile, here's where we left the engine.

Re: Astron Boys Gen 1 Turbo Magna
Yeah, was kind of a waste to use the mortein given I'll be rebuilding the engine, but oh well....
Cleaned away all the crap from the front of the car, put the bonnet from the sedan on, and gave the car a general inspection both inside and out.
Has fared well given the poor garage it is stored in.
Also found the receipt for the last time the car was fueled just after I fiddled with the tune and before the head gasket gave way.
