      Well we got some very very mild weather (way above seasonal and above freezing) so i took pretty much all the snow off the car, and made a trail to access to engine bay, i wanted to see the condition of the turbo after sitting for 7-8 months...

      That thing spins like its lying in an oil bath lol i was very pleased about that, i put my battery on charge, i think ill try to start it today, even tho it has a blown head gasket, i wanna make it run a min or two just to get the oil flowing in the head.

      That's probably a good idea.

      Good news, to my great surprise the car started up, even with a blown gasket and sitting for 8 months, plus my Megasquirt isnt programmed for cold starts like this so i wasnt expecting it to fire up but it did!

      I recorded the action, its now uploading to youtube, stay tuned

      That was a lot of cranking. Glad it turned over though, sounds great.
