Ok, so I've finally made enough progress to warrant a new post so this is whats new. The donor car made it here Saturday morning, just as I was finishing up my heater core job. I was actually impressed at the condition of the car, unlike the norm it actually looked better in person than it did in the pics. The car itself is an 87 Turbo, Targa. It is actually the exact same color as my Supra (burgandy) with the exact same interior... so needless to say I went to pullin misc parts off of the car to replace the little detailed parts that my car was lacking...
But anyway back to the car. I didn't know before hand, but this was a one owner car, and the guy I bought it from was about 65 years old, so I'm hoping that he was past his rowdy days and didn't run the motor and associated parts into the ground. It has all its original parts, even came with the original owner's manual!! :icon_surp
Monday I took off work... Lord knows I hate that place, LOL, and pulled the motor from the donor. Everything looks to be in great condition, aside from a couple of rotted hoses and buildup from leaking valve cover gaskets. The guy I brought the car from said that he was getting rid of it because I was leaking antifreeze from behind the block and a local shop told him it would be $800 to fix :aigo: because they had to pull the motor. This thing actually had a hole in every single hose that runs behind the motor.
Anyway, I finished pulling the rest of the accessories that I needed today, so for the next couple of months, I'm going to take my time and gather the things I need to complete the first phase of this project... gaskets, seals, valve job, ect.
I know I don't have any pics up yet, but I will get some up tonight... gotta get my digital camera back from the wifey. :thumbup:
