    Well turns out my Garrett turbo is decently damaged. Looked fine from the outside but after I took it apart it was apparent. Contacted a turbo rebuilder and we will see how muh it will run me. Im anticipating $500+ but that is reasonable if I need new compressor and turbine wheels.

    Since I have been driving my car more than working on it Im getting kind of worried something will bite me in the ass so a semi over haul is needed. Like everyone else here knows, a inspection of the common rust spots is in order. So plans are to gut the interior and check every inch of the floor. Also take off the factory sound deadening bc rust likes to hide under it. POR15 everything in sight.

    Also need to repaint the front bumper b/c tow chains damaged the paint. I had to get towed home b/c I somehow broke an axle on the highway on the way home from an autox event. This was over the summer.

    Over the winter plan:
    -get turbo rebuilt and install kit
    -finish front mount (ive been saying this forever now)
    -install bushings and sub mounts in rear
    -check every nut and bolt on the car make sure they are tight
