My 89 7MGTE

Heres a couple of pics of my slow project, bought for £280.
It failed the MOT on 2 front ball joints, 2 rear bearings,a 4 inch plate in drivers rear wheel arch,washer jet,number plate light and a fog light.Im not rich so this will be MOTed by the end of the month, but after that a slow modification will take place.I will post more pics as needed.

It's not a steal, but it is a bargain. Congrats. What are your plans for it?

 

[ilikebigbutts]

it failed because it had a plate or did you have to weld that plate in in order to pass it?

The car looks great 280 euro is what like 500 bucks... in US terms thats a steal, I think.

 

[666theboy]

keeping the car standard looking but get the engine sweet
that small plate is covering the only hole in the body

How is 550 bucks NOT a steal?

I have an 87 Turbo 5 speed targa with no accidents, 100% rust-free, clean interior, Super Monitor, that i bought for US$600. Runs fine and it's 100% stock, save for the MKIV NA wheels. It even came with a Supra themed vanity plate. See pics. That's a steal, children...:evil2: It's getting aftermarket suspension this weekend, btw. :love:

Regardless, 666theboy got a cool car at a nice price.

That's a king steal from all the steals IMO
Here a junk N/A costs about 3k$. Though just last week one nicer N/A went for 2,5k. And that's like lowest I've seen.

She flew through the mot yesterday, got taxed straight away,so i couldnt post this earlier as i have been to busy driving around in the beast.The fuel doesn`t seem to be too much of a problem, and i was putting my foot down quite often.I never thought i would like an auto until i drove this one, the kick down with the power button on is FANTASTIC!!!!!!! :love: :evil: :evil5: :thumbup:

more pics to come when i start moding it. K&N air filter and BOV should be here by the weekend!

 

[666theboy]

I ran her in a bit over the last 2 days, a 370 mile round trip to brighton doing a steady 80. I did open her up once to 120 for a bit on the way up and everything was ok. On the way back I saw a type r civic catching me up quite fast so as he was coming past I floored it, waved bye bye to him and took off into the distance. I am mightily impressed with the power of my beast! I LOVE IT!

If its got the Super Moniter chances are hes got the full electric pack.

My 88 is the same way only thing i dont have is leather (i like my cloth (velour) seats)
