Ok pretty big update for you guys. I will post pictures later....I am bad at that, yet know from my long time internet forum membership(2002 on the first one) that pictures run the interwebs. Anyways, here is a list of everything done;

Turbo rebuild including new shaft
Valve Cover Gasket(Did not adjust valves, I have some homemade wrenches, but I couldn't get it figured out, will attempt at a later date)
Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Temperature Sensor(One by the glow plugs)
New Glow Plug Relay(Old one got water in it and was badly corroded)
New Glow Plugs
Re-routing and deleting of Vacuum lines(Car vacuum door locks and associated systems have been removed completely; leaving only the Transmission, climate control, ALDA, and the bolt on the backend of the exhaust)
Emergency Brakes replaced(Car would move before with the shifter in neutral even with the E-brake applied
Brake Calipers all around rebuilt(Car came with Bendix, but at some point the passenger rear got switched out with ATE
New brake hose from hardline to brake caliper
New Tires are on the way(Going with Michelin Defenders)
Fuel Filters(Primary and Plastic filter)
Oil Filter
Transmission Pan Gasket and Filter
Oil Pan Gasket
Oil Change
Transmission Fluid Change
Powersteering fluid and filter change
Thermostat with rubber gasket and paper gasket


I still need to go buy coolant for it, as it has green coolant in it and rust in it. I presume a flush will be needed too. I also have numerous other gaskets, o rings, etc that once we complete our move to Louisiana, I will rebuild almost everything on the engine with the exception of the Injection Pump, Transmission, and bottom end of the motor. I have new freeze plugs, valve seals, in the process of buying all the different valves, etc. Not looking to make this a really nice car, but a solid commuter. As far as interior goes, I need to find a backseat, and get the fronts and backs re-up holstered with either leather or cloth(Haven't decided). I am gonna do some sort of sound blocking/all weather liner that will limit the noise that gets into the inside. New Stereo, with speakers and bluetooth system for phone calls.

It's been great learning everything on these engines and how simple they really are. The turbo was pretty easy to rebuild and I really learned a lot from doing it. The next MAJOR thing will be getting the whole electrical system unscrewed. Basically nothing really works as far as the switches, windows, or sunroof. If anybody has any recommendations, I am all ears.

P.S. My idle speed its right at or below 1000 rpms. What can I do to try to adjust it?? Rack Damper Bolt? Idle screw in between the block and injection pump??
