Thank you sir

No I bought it as is, the guy I both it from said he put in the turbo II instrument cluster, a good clutch and turbo II tranny. An I believe they just put on the turbo II turbo and exhaust manifold. Am not sure what rear end is on there cause he doesn't know.

Thank man, lol but it's not that clean it needs a paint job the paint it's discolored an have about 2 rust spots but that about it. An yea I will post some more pice of it soon, I don't intend of changing the wheels though I like the weight and the look of them, I will just have them refurbished. I have a question though. I would like to put vented cross drill rotors in the rear but this one has solid rotors in the rear, does the turbo II rear brake calipers just bolt on or is there fabrication to be dont?

the T2 calipers bolt on.

not that i had anything to do with the decision, but i'm glad you're keeping the T2 wheels. as i said, i dig the stock look. well, the car looks good in a not-so-good photo. it tales a lot of time, effort and money to maintain a truly CLEAN car in NYC, i know.
