just called , the garage dude is back in town
he left on holidays the week after i finally fired up the rebuild
so it was just standing there, and i couldn't get to it for a full month
the axles are attached, just need to figure out how to make it idle ( to rich or not enough air, should not take too much time)
then get the shifter linkage arranged , little brake test and i should be ready for the first short drive in about 19 months
many setbacks, delays, and headaches... if anybody has some live chickens , and knows a voodoo priest in your area...
or any other kind of good luck stuff , send some my way
the beatup old 924 got me through the toughest of times, it goes sideways darn well but right now i urgently need a 911 fix , there is no substitute
