Yeah it’s extremely busy down here and it’s only going to get more crazy when people find out we’re doing custom exhaust work… whoops! That’s a topic for another day. But yes, I’ve successfully gotten the timing cover off the GN, replaced the timing set, reinstalled the cover and replaced the water pump. Next thing is to reinstall the oil pan turbo, replace the trans mount, replace the fuel pump, replace the mufflers, remove the cat, and clean up the rats nest of wires under my dash. LOL, that’s it! Who know when that will happen… BTW, thanks for the offer and thanks for helping with the lift BD Folms!

After 5 months I finally have some time to put this baby back together just in time to be put away!

We finally got the new mufflers on there and a new transmission mount. Next step is to get the broken waste gate actuator rod back together… that baby was a little rusty after 25 years lol! Next a new higher output fuel pump and a fuel pump hotwire/rewire kit!

Spent some time recently and got some new fuel in her and a new wastegate actuator, after the old one all but disintegrated, and cleaned her up.  
The new fuel pump should be going in today and the new fuel pump hotiwre kit should be coming in by the end of the week.  
I’ll also be putting a set of HIDs and a new relay kit in because the factory headlight harnesses are probably a step away from returning to the earth and probably can’t handle even getting a full 12V to the ballasts.  
I also just got done putting a set of 2" drop spindles on the front to get the car to sit properly. Unfortunately I’ve run into a small problem with the wheels being a lower offset than factory and they rub on the fender wells. After looking at it there’s a 2" fender lip which I may be able to work with the fender rolling tool.

I’ll post some new pics later on.
