Yeah, I don't know how often the PO turned it (he said every 6 months), but I turned it every month using a squirt of MMO. Also, when Neal had it for that year and a half, I don't know if it was ever turned over. But yes, when I got the text from Charles, stating that the irons/housings were perfect, and the apex seals were in 'new' spec, I was quite happy.
So far, I am waiting on a couple things to be ready to go. I need to buy some fuel hose, my strut inserts haven't arrived yet (3/18), and my wheels won't be here for a couple more weeks. Also, this weekend I am cleaning the tank.
Waiting to be installed:
Front brake pads
Strut tops
Clutch slave/master
Brake master
Ball joints
Front and rear trans seals
Once the engine gets back here:
T-stat
Motor Mounts
New hoses (coolant/fuel)
S4 Alternator (ahem Robert)
Accel (I think) coils
Exedy Clutch
Then, its a matter of installing the radiator/oil cooler and hope for the best. I should order a fuel pump, but it looks new. I'm more concerned at this point in time with it running, rather than how it looks. Still need to 'tuck' the bumpers, and pick up a muffler (maybe).
I will probably have to do a driveway break in before DGRR. Lol.
