Wow you've got me beat so far, I got my 88 TII for free but it doesn't run right now. I guess we'll have to see if I can get it running and get the interior restored nice and clean for less than $250...

Excellent find! Good luck with the car, but it already sounds like you have plenty of luck.

That totally beats my purchase of a 626 Turbo in 8/10 condition with 89K, new clutch, timing belt, and brakes for $600.

I think this thread is turning into "What kind of stupendous deal did you get on your car?"

Damn it, I paid more than that for my nonrunning '85 SE.

The junk yard I go to won't sell the cars out of the yard. Did you get a title? That's why they won't sell them. I could get a title, it's a pain, but it can be done, but they still wont' sell them.

Me and a friend were at the yard one day when they towed in a '67 Mustang ragtop. Good body, didn't run. They wouldnt' sell it to me. I've actually started a few cars up in the junk yard before, and drove them, but they won't sell them....

Yo,


My first post to the 1st Gen section!

Um, I think I've spent more on /wax/ and cleaning supplies for my GTUs than you just spent on that TII!

Bastid!!

*grin*

Good job, wax her up, make her beautiful...and make those Ricers /pay/!

Stole the wheels from the Probe temporarily and wore myself out washing and waxing today. Getting closer to the finished product...

Yeah. It is burning some oil on the manifold. I haven't been able to determine if it is a leaky OMP line or leaky turbo oil line. Both look fine upon inspection when the smoke clears. It has reduced quite a bit after about 70 miles of driving, so it could also have just been a spill that is cooking off.

Let me just say one more time. Damn, you are such a bastard. It looks so f'ing good all cleaned up like that. And the probe wheels look better on the tII than they did on the probe IMO. I hope chris is charging you intrest on the loan for his sake. hehe.
