While you're in there....
My simple p/s pump replacement has turned into a turbo and manifold swap with possible custom exhaust and intercooler/piping.
Oh and a mechanical fan delete. I figured, since I was in there....

More $ than smart.
I thought the most dangerous phrase in the automotive world was "hold my beer".
"Don't worry, honey. I can get it done in a weekend. I saw a YouTube video how to do it."

That phrase is my enemy. I'm just changing a component, not doing a restoration.
And don't forget the ever popular....."oh that's easy".

Not really. Almost all junk yard parts 
Stock turbo was junk when I bought the car just been nursing it for way too long. Had the bigger turbo on the shelf for almost a year now. The new gaskets and fasteners for maybe 2 months. 90+ manifold was a yard find too along with an extra downpipe. Big intercooler is on a local forum for cheep. Using a free Saab in-hose temp sender to trigger the fan. So far the only problem is the fan I had left over from another project (that I made money on, the fan is pretty much free) is too small and there are no E-fan setups for sale online right now.
Off to the parts store to buy a new fan at wholesale(I love having access to discount codes)!

The most dangerous phase is "I am just going to go look at it"
"Hey, guys, watch this!"
You might look for a older ford taurus fan, really good e-fans, not sure if it would fit but something to look at.
"How hard can it be?"
"How could I possibly go wrong?" Fate always surprises me.

My last stock 960 E-fan setup with fan, harness, relays, and shroud cost me $45 from a junk yard-and didn't fit my last 940.
Just bought a 16" Hayden kit that fits in the stock shroud perfectly. Just need to wire it up using supplies from the several scavenged wiring harnesses I have laying around. The NEW fan cost me $45 with my discount

I was fully prepared for many studs broken off in the head and had been spraying them with PB Blaster about once a month. I even bought a complete set of new studs just in case.
Naturally, the nuts were practically falling off and nothing broke................but the p/s line is frozen in the shot pump.
How about, "This shouldn't take long..."
"Rust free"
"Never raced or wrecked"

Followed by the following self-justification, "Yes, I can afford this purchase, if I just..."
What about "That'll buff out".
For motorcycles: "Needs carbs cleaned."
"Ready for paint."
Hold on I want to try something.

That'll buff out.
