Well I am going to proceed with operation "save a bucket". Here is the plan

STEP-1- Body and paint (including step 2)
STEP-2- Pull the engine (bad soft seals)
STEP-3- Insert rebuilt engine
STEP-4- Install Carb (set up for blowthrough) and ignition
STEP-5- Install S4-S5 Turbo
STEP-5.5- Get exhaust
STEP-6- Rims/tires
STEP-7- Drive

The car already has Full RB suspension including sway bars, stainless brake lines, and well that is about it....

pictures from Day 3 filing in dings/dents so I can shoot it with paint... More pictures to come..

glad to see you are keeping it. i think step 1 should be removing the picnic table from the rear

Picnic table will be removed, I am going to install my "slightly modified" T2 rear wing..

Can't show you yet... The Fiberglass work isn't quite done.. it started because my Doberman ate the corner off the spoiler and kinda grew from there.... I think you guys are gonna like it...

But where will the homeless people sleep???

PS - I like turds, they have more fun.

RRTEC

iTrader: (13)

They can still sleep inside the car for now..

Just for fun I used up the extra mixed clear on the fender of the "turd".

I sprayed over the flat black paint that was on the fender..

Threw in a couple shots of the Desk I just painted a lady at work.

i used DUPONT HOT HUES paint.. Awesome stuff.. Went on smooth and covered extremely well..

what color was the car originally? if you arent sure i'd be interested to know the paint code

Glad to see another seven saved from bastardization-

Good work.

RRTEC

iTrader: (13)

It was white.. I can get the code if you are interested.

RRTEC

iTrader: (13)

I haven't saved it yet.. I'm still on the fence on how much money to dump into it..

i am. the reason i am is i was thinking that the car is a 10th Anniversary. the reason i believe that it is is because the only white turbo 7 in 88 was the 10AE. it had the black interior, also only reserved for the 10AE. the paint code for the AE is UC. i'd be interested to see the last six of the vin as well.

That 7 is as many colors as mine right now. just about as many dents too.

RRTEC

It was not a 10th AE, the interior was blue (I dyed the dash myself). The chassis was manufactured in late 87 but was sold as a 1988 model (titled as an 88)

ok, that makes sense. i guess it would then be a noble white car originally. glad to see that you're bringing the car back from the dead. i'll be excited to see more pics of the car!

Or maybe I'm retarded and am confusing this one with my last T2.. Perhaps I need to check the title...

thats a nice piece of **** you got there

Well I removed the Spoiler... Looks better already.

I wonder if I can sell the spoiler... Some honda trunk is probably begging for it...

good job!

Well I am almost done with the bodywork on this side (only work needed). All I need to do is replace the passenger door, and fill in the holes from the spoiler..

The paint on there is just cheapo spraypaint, I was using it as a guide coat to see where the imperfections are.

I am going to take the hatch and have it tinted..

did you ever look to see what the color code was?

RRTEC

iTrader: (13)

Unfortunately there is no Code on it.. The door is off another car and the sticker on the frame has no paint code.. Also the hood is not from this car..lol.

Found a shot from about 2 years ago, before I let my b-in-law get his mits on it..
