GTUs SWAP!

hi guys, just wondering if you thought it would be worth it to swap parts from my DEAD 90 GTUs into my 90 Vert? my brother already took a crapload of parts out from the GTUs(i think its a 90). but i am not sure if i should swap out parts into my vert...let me know what you all think.

yeah I would swap the GTUs rear end and wheels into the vert for sure. I'd also pull out the SRS from the vert if your's has it.

But you know if it really is a 90 GTUs, in a few years (if not already) it will be worth much more than the 'vert in stock form.

Yeah, don't part out the GTUs if it's in otherwise good shape. Just give it a new engine.

Those cars are too rare to tear apart.

actually, the former owner said the engine keeps overheating on him...so he stripped the interior and let the car sit under a tree. my brother saw it and offered money. we got the car and aside from its dumb *** paint job, the body appears to be good, but the insides are still stripped. inside the engine bay, the engine is still there but some parts like the stock airbox are removed...dont know what else is missing in the engine bay. ill take pics today and post tonight.
i wish it was in good cond still...my friend just bought a 90 or 91 gtus with 122 and a new rebuilt engine...great inside and out! he bought for 2k. he has a 91 TII that is down as well...
