Happy New Year!
What's the story on the 930? Lots of what you know about the SC vintage cars will carry over (CIS induction, etc.). Is there an exhaust system on it? Can't tell from the pictures except for the box on the passenger floor that looks like nuclear, errrr I mean thermal reactors...... Feel free to ask me about all the hard lessons I learned about the turbo cars after my 3-year rebuild of my '76..... Have fun - be careful!

As much as I fear being charged for aiding and abetting a suicide, I'll loan you the factory shop manual for your new ride, Mike. Frankly, I wouldn't touch one of those things with a 10 foot pole. Work on 'em, yes, road test one after repairs, sure, but I'd NEVER own one. Kinda like a really dangerous yacht. Bring money. BTW, Ben and I have done the motor on one of those. Twice. Same car.

Plan is to flip it....
50,000 original miles....muffler is in the trunk as well as the top to the intercooler. Been sitting since 94. Lot's of fluid changes in my future....
Hey Captain...how much to do the fluids?
Gas, oil, tranny, brake, radiator flush, etc?

Marquez...he's a local flooring contractor. It was semi hidden by Galen (dickweed) Bieker of Werks II in Burbank.....Galen hid it and the storage yard tried to lien sale it...he got it back after 12 years in storage.

Congrats Mike!

It's been sitting how long with the intercooler off? I hope it was indoors. You may want to find a good used or rebuilt turbo to go with your fluid change....

What year is that 930? Did I miss something, or does that one NOT have a sunroof?
I thought they all had sunroofs or that sunroofs were standard.... (I'm probably wrong)

So where is the car gonna be kept? Bakersfield or Carpenteria?
It would be nice to have an addition to the 914 population here...
