Operation: Turbo Checkers

No more build for probably a year.
I'm not jumping into it without a garage and being financially stable.

Started the official tear down!

Engine was down to the mounts and axles in about an hour two days ago.
Interior is down to the dash and carpet.

I'm just waiting for my toes to warm up and then I'm gonna try and pull off a few other things.

"We've only just begun."

Anybody know where to buy a brand new head for a 2.0 ABA?
I'm going with a brand new one for sure. I'm going to call GEX and Bildon tomorrow but I need other ideas.

Car is completely stripped except everything to keep it rolling.

I've started to remove some engine bay features and A LOT of seam sealer as of a few days ago.

We'll see what's gonna be happening with it this summer.

It's pretty well torn down, now I've got a lot of work ahead of me.
I'm still wondering what engine I should go with and what configuration.

1.8T 8v?
20vT?
16v TT?
8v TT?
Who knows. MegaSquirt? SDS?
