"An economical sleeper"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The Passenger Seat has a hole in the fabric.

The radiator fan is wired direct to the battery in order to operate.

The negative battery cable split in two pieces.

General comments?

I just bought the car about one week ago, and I love driving it!

The engine wiring harness is hacked up pretty bad, and the vacuum limes are not even completely hooked up, but the car runs good anyways.

Even with the disconnected vacuum lines the turbo has no problem kicking in right when I need it.

I plan to fix the wiring and vacuum problems with this car, but it is a great car, even with those problems.

I have owned two GLH Turbos. (I also owned two Shelby Charger Turbos).

The first GLH Turbo was bought new in 1985. I have a 1986 a few years later. It was basiclly the same, but in 86, the heads were different.

New, the motors are about 150 Horse power.

I knew those cars inside, and out.

If you need any advise on them, just let me know.

Bob.

I have a 1986 GLH Omni, and could use some help on getting the waste gate to work. I have been told it works on pressure and not off of a vacuum line. But for the life of me I cannot figure out where to hook this up too. Please help.

Be aware that the radiator fan bodge sounds suspiciously like a previous owner has tried to disguise a head gasket problem.
