so i have a buddy that has a freind at work that is selling a T2 car for $100. motor, turbo, tranny, dshaft, and rear end all there, but motor blew out rear apex seal. the sad part of the story is that after the motor blew, a few years ago they used it as a "shooting car" or "take your anger out on this car" car... so basically its all shot up to hell with bullet holes all in it, axe marks and holes all in it, windshield and glass all busted out, no hood (and im worried about the motor, harness and turbo being weather damaged, as i have not seen it yet, working too much) anyway.. $100 is worth it at least for just the drivetrain... and theres a local X-mazda mechanic that claims he can rebuild it for $250, but ide reather send it off to rotaryress. or some other place and get it ported and all, anyway.. im about to call the guy and get directions so i can look at it this weekend and hopefully get my swap on!

 

why would they do such a thing?! is theres anyway to get pics of this? damn that sucks...you'd better hope you have a strong stomach...to see such a grusome sight....
but yeah 100 clams?! cant beat that i wish i had an x-mazda mech out here i would love to learn what he knows about rotarys....and for 250?! i would give him a junk engine just to see what he can do with it....
hey see if you can get pics of the car and share it with me....i wanna see


:AA:

 

Imagine some larger calibers in thta engine block, LOL that would ****** suck. But like you said the drivetrain is worth the $100 and most likely undamaged.

 

yeah he said its all there, turbo, intercooler and all... only thing is there has been no hood on it for as long as it has been sitting, wich sucks, everythings gonna be all rusted and brittle

 

Is his name Jessie James?

 

screw the motor yank everythig else and leave the shell for him to destroy. that is sad though and yeah the diff alone is probably worth $100

 

na the car is about 45 mins away i have no time to just yank all that stuff out. im just gonna get it to my house either tonight or sunday and start ripping things off and selling other stuff of it like 5 lug swap and interior parts and stuff. all i want is the complete motor, tranny, dshaft, rearend and engine harness.

 

i highly dought theres any good interior parts lmao

 

maybe a good radio surround...?

 

all that stuff i already have... my interior is out of an s5 and i had the radio surround and gauge bezel re sprayed black, only thing i need is front carpet. and im planning on getting that out of victoria brittish. after i get the drivetrain out im probly gonna take it to the local iron yard and have it crushed and scrapped. dont get mad at me cuz from what the guy said he shot it up with his rifle and took an axe to the body and the windows. for what reason i dont know

 

anwyay... 2 more hours and im going to go get it!

 

awww part it out for more money

 

im going to part out what is salvagable, im not looking to make money off of it as im only paying $100, so ill probly just ask that whatever someone wants they just pay shipping on that item and ill get it sent out. but anyway im going right now to go look at the car and hopefully get it. gonna be one hell of a tow bill but whatever... T2 swap!!! yeeehaawwww!!

 

cool, speedholes already installed....

 

i will pay shipping for the oil cooler lines =D

 

"they make the car go faster"

 

I'm strippin' a T2, 91, for motor and drive line, then goin' to the yard. What does anyone want? Here's a pic.


It's a "one rotor", rear shot.

 

Why can't I upload pics? I click my Pic, it wont upload? Oh' well, what do you want? I need to get rid of the car soon.

 

TonyD89- do you have the scoop from the hood?

 

Yes I do. PM.

 

man i went last night to go look at the car.... holy crap. you couldnt even recognize it. roof smashed in, bullet holes on every square inch of the car, no glass anywhere but shattered on the floor, but...... i lifted the hood (wich by the way was beaten and shot to hell) and there IT was.... the turbo, intercooler, motor, tranny, everything! im going to pick it up sunday!!!

 

My 87 NA that had perfect compresion and died two weeks later ended up at the range. Its probably got 10,000 rounds in it now. The .50 BMG really tears up the block.

 

You do realize that most rifles will have no problem doing serious damage to that block right?

 

Wouldn't want to buy that turbo either... and if there are as many bullet holes as you say... I'd even start to doubt the drivetrain... few ricochets could have put some structure damaging nicks in it...

But I'm sure a few things survived... the harness should have been mostly protected unless a lucky shot went through it.

Eh, $100, can't really go wrong....
