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!!

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...

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.
