for good....i was working on my fuel problem today...installed yet another new walbro...only to have it run well for about 30min or so then the problem started up again. i started checking the voltage from the front back and decided to call it a day. so while driving from island lake to gurnee i made a right hand turn and heard a "pop"....only to discover my driverside frame rail cracked in half. i have a shot at a 99% rust free omni shell if i can pursuade a friend of mine to help me with the engine/trans wiring harness swap from my car to this one. i dont have room at the new apartment to handle a swap like this. if not this car will be taken apart and parted out....here is a crappy pic of what broke....its not very clear but you get the idea.

if it all works out and i can work out everything.....the new car will be built over the winter....i will be a built engine and a full turbo 2 conversion (with a stock hood). it would run 25-30psi...

hehe I have a mazda 323 thats like that... 1992 model that every time I go over railroad tracks I loose 20 lbs of weight off the car from the massive amounts of rust falling off ;) I cant even jack the damn thing up its so rusted :) Waiting for a frame rail to just pop.
