Move over project GTQ, you get put on the back burner for now.  Say hello to
a 1989 100 Q - not turbocharged, but a nice car with adequate power 2.3l
engine.  Picking up this evening.

Car has a little over 200K mi , but  compression test was good. 

It needs:
	BOMB - anyone have a good one?
	Right Front Headlight - obtaining from lister
	Rear Tail Light - getting off 4000 parts car (talk about
interchangeability)
	2 fuel injectors(car running like $#!+ - pulled plug wires and #'s
4&5 cyl spark great, but no drop in RPM).
	Left Front Control arm(ball joint boot is ripped).  Perhaps these
can be repaired without replacing the whole arm - anyone know?
	Timing belt, water pump (maybe I'll do lifters and cam while I'm at
it).  I'll need another solid lifter cam with 17 tooth distributor gear if
anyone has one.

Otherwise, the car is in great shape, no accidents, maroon paint need
compounding.  Black leather Interior is in fabulous shape, discounting the
headliner on the sunroof.

Getting the car for less than half its KBB value.  Will use a tranportation
while I take the 4000Q out of service when I do engine swap (project GTQ).
My wife will probably not want to drive the 4000 anymore once she drives
this, so bummer, I may just have to turn the 4000 Q into a rally car;}

What happened to the '86 4000 I was going to use for alternate
transportation, you may ask?  Well, the original owner decided he wanted to
buy it back.  So I sold it back for enough to recoup my cost in time and
parts.

Now I still have too many irons in the fire(car projects are low priority),
but it makes life interesting.  Still working on the Boost Mods writeup  -
if anyone wants an advance copy(no diagrams), let me know.

Regards All,
