Hmmm
It's very interesting and all but then I start to think
If it was so good, why was it left to rot?

Aftermarket/DIY turbo eh? what could possibly go wrong?
That has the potential to be a real feckin money pit

Here's really nice original one with a walk around and test run

Someone will want it for their collection, with the idea of removing the turbo and doing a full restoration. May have a blown engine, and will need an exhaust system and carbs at the least. Big project though.

Looks well done the draw-through install is tidy and it appears to have a dyna ignition fitted.

Draw-throughs are reportedly finicky to tune but they sound awesome Smile

Seeing as it needs a full restoration, I would be expecting to convert it to FI.

Indeed - looks in surprisingly good order given it's parked among a pile of junk. Hopefully someone will rescue it. Automatic and turbo makes a double curiosity..
