start with replacing fuel filters imo -
then check for the sound of the in tank pump and test pressure from it

even if that is the problem you still probably got a decent deal.
I've been wanting to do something along these lines for a while and have been gathering data and making plans. my plan is essentially to either use a isuzu/gmc/fuso/mitsubishi cab over cab and extend it into a crew cab. or duplicate a Scania type cabover semi cab...
maybe I missed it - are you using the auburn digital pyrometer with it's "buzzer" feed to trigger the meth injection?
or is it triggered by boost pressure?
owe 34k on a 31k car. there are a lot of new or almost new reliable cars out there for half that. if you still want a new car then trade that in and take the hit to get something cheaper.

were they originally...
blind rivets tensile and shear strength is measured in the hundreds - each of the stock bolts is rated in the 10's of thousands.
asuming that those are 3/16" size steel then they are likely 400 shear 600 tensile strength each x28 = 11,200 shear and 16,800 tensile.
