1988 Turbo II back in my life!

Hello all,

back in 2002 i had a mint condition Turbo II that was a panty dropper in high school. I joined the Marines and had it parked at my aunts house. She was about to move and needed it gone so i sold it for what i had left on the loan, $1850! Had i known what they'd be worth today i would have kept it. Ive been thinking about that car for years and finally I found one i could afford and just bought it. It already has everything I want to do to it done for the most part. Its a good start to what i want to get to. Super excited to get my hands on it next friday. I have a lot of research to do as the wipers don't work, it has no power steering which i think i may want, and it has no AC or the components for them in the car. I kinda want AC and heat too so i think that's the first thing i want to tackle. Just have no clue what components i need or if even some are still in the car. On friday i'll post more pics but this is what I have so far. I live in Virigina but I'm picking her up from NC, can't wait!


So damn sexy!!


Cant tell what AC components are missing besides the obvious compressor isn't on the engine block.
