my new 91 GTU Project....so what do you guys think?? (pics...careful 56k)

well.....I guess you can say we are becoming Mazda fans....haha, liked one so much we had to get another....haha, well here she is bought her from a guy in Norwalk and had to tow her....very carefully since the 7 is almost as big as our truck...back into the valley....

...car dosnt run and I guess it has a blown seal according to what we were told....but the interior is in really good cond. and the body is very straight no accidents or anything...but the paint is in terrible cond. desperately needs a new paint job....just a good ol stock gtu....got her for $800 lemme know what you think...should be fun getting her back on her feet.

haha, ya.....I know the garage is filling....for the miata we are keeping the 1.6 and adding the turbo, the wheels that were on there, are not anymore...we sold em and put the stock ones back on for the time being, they were some no names....well the update on the miata project, we just got our new steel head gasket today and hope to have the car running by the weekend....and then I'll see if I can get a vid up for you guys...the turbo tho wont be comming till a little bit later...gotta make sure everything is running smooth and all....

well....hope to have some more pics up again soon

peace
