Yes, in fact, I did feel pretty special when I screwed that personalized D24T plate on!

Plans is to build a long distance tourer, a road trip machine. It will be getting the engine and trans, etc from my very scruffy 1985 TD wagon, and some mods for quiet/smooth highway cruising... some chassis stiffening, fresh bushings, cushy Nivomat self-leveling rear shocks, etc. Probably not your cup of tea.... but don't worry, it will be fast too. I have a GT2056V variable vane turbo sitting on the shelf that is ready to do duty on the D24T going into this car... in the Jeep Liberty CRD it came out of, it moves enough air to make 160HP and 300 lbft of torque out of a 2.8L 4 cylinder. Should be able to wake up a D24T pretty nicely, I think, and hopefully make some good low end power too once I get the VNT dialed in right.

Still in disassembly stages for now, will keep updated with pictures as progress continues....
