I made a video driving it around but it won't load onto youtube for some reason-
it runs and drives great i now have the intercooler pipping hooked up unlike in the video. I still have a few pretty major things to do like find a new rear as the final drive ratio isn't very good for 65mph on the highway top speed was around 80 but the engine was screaming, I think 3.90 rear is a little high i need to find a rear closer to 3.3- It also has more vibration at idle than i would like the rubber mounts i used aren't quite thick enough so should be a simple fix. It still needs glow plugs too i've been cold starting with a hair dryer



yes i do realize my hood is crazy I was bored and had extra spray paint and masking tape, it got out of hand luckily this is just the screw around stage i'm going to build a cowl and paint it
