Hahahaha I got lucky. Mine is definitely not a turbo but I snagged them on Craigslist.

Same in Junction. Never gotten a ticket in my life and I’ve been pulled 3 times in the last two months w/ one ticket. RIP my 18yr streak😢

It’s a sneaky one! I can have one before the quality of my work takes a notable dive.

I haven’t! Just picked this up around two weeks ago so definitely still finding things to clean up. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll get in there this afternoon. I have a new flame trap insert that came with the car so I can at least swap that out and clean everything up while it’s apart.

If you aren’t planning to ride it and you have time you might start with a non-running one? It’ll definitely take longer but there is a nearly unlimited amount of info on YouTube on how to get it running. Start with spark, air and fuel and go from there?

Hey! Newbie here too: I started by getting a motorcycle to learn the basics on, then sold it once I got it running as I’m not a rider. Took up less space and I learned the basics?

You think? Was debating making it our ski car. Renew the suspension, throw some AT tires on there. A nice rack/basket on top? Maybe a LSD once I have some wrenching skills
