Hello, I'm going to be buying my friends 91 FC GXL he has. It's a shell atm but he has parts from his old turbo II we're going to swap over. We are also planning on dropping in a 13b from an FD so overall I'm pretty excited.

 

im from IL as well and it should be a fun project but lots of time and effort for sure.

 

Hello, my name is Kevin i'm in Illinois and I just bought a 91 GXL shell with turbo II parts to swap over to. I got the shell with practically no rust (Big deal in the midwest) for 1k. My friend who I bought it from is helping me swap over the parts from his old TII that he scrapped. The engine was blown so we have a 13b-rew we're going to swap in. He's a fabrication specialist so I'm not too worried about making the mounts for the motor and this will be his 3rd FC build. We just finished putting together the Megasquirt for the ECU and I guess we need to get a new radiator and start putting the car back together.

I have a Tumblr blog set up too for this build with a few pictures here: http://my777.tumblr.com/

Looking forward to having this thing running by the summer if all goes well.

 

Welcome, Kevin!

I merged the new thread with your old one so that all the info is together. Sounds like a good project. Good luck with it.

Thanks, I was half asleep when I posted again and I didn't find out until later that you can search for threads you started.
