With 15 years of FC ownership, and counting, the desire for more has been growing ever since.
About 3 years ago I purchased an '85 roller. With the plan of making this a nice clean car, with good suspension, build engine and minor period correct exterior mods, I felt that a roller was the sensible way to go because I do not want to mod a 12A engine.
2 weeks ago I purchased a turboII vert from Germany, that has been sitting outside (under a roof) since 2008 or longer, which became the donor for this project. Today I pulled the engine out so we can perhaps say that it is the start of this project. Even though it will probable not go so quickly.
I went a bit stupid on the engine plans, I just can't help myself, but the idea is to make this engine N/A, semi-P.P. with renesis rotating assembly and throttlebodies.
Unfortunately, the engine is seized, so I am hoping it's not completely destroyed but we'll see when I take it apart.
