I hope this is in the right forum. If not, I apologize.
$500 - 88 GXL
It will be my beater / rally car.
(The red supra in the background is my daily driver.)
I bought her last week. She is a little sick right now, but will be okay with a little TLC.
She has a nasty short that kills the battery overnight and a bit of body damage (as you can see below).

Good luck with it, nothin like a good fun project car.

The 7, on the other hand is quite a bit lighter and more nimble. It would be a shame to make her a daily driver when I can rally it and AutoX it. Sports cars are made to be driven, right?
So, how much would a bridgeport cost (on average)?

Bridgeports can run you about $300 more than a rebuild. I say rebuild cus you might was well change all the seals while your at it. You jsut have to find out who will do them in your area.

I got the door off and banged most of the dent out. I also stripped the interior. I plan to relieve the exhaust and gut parts like the A/C and emissions crap shortly...
More pics to come in a bit.

I plan to slowly build this to compete in Clubrally. For now I will try my hand at rallyX.
