the project with no name...

[bioskyline]

so this is my ride, a 87 turbo targa auto. apparently the original owner has sunk 6k into the car, where i dont know but had the motor replaced. when i got it it has been sitting for the last 2 years after being vandalized. broken door glass, broken taillight, p/s not working but it moves, so got this thing for 1200 bucks. it has been repainted, originally dark blue. just over the 200,000kms mark on the OD, engine supposedly has 170,000 on it. regardless is gonna get re-built soon.

now for everyone's favorite part. PICS!!!



the day i brought it home

since owning the car.....

standard issue ricer gauges. even though i live in canada, i cant read metric gauges!

now the engine bay shot....not that impressive

and after getting this i end up with another parts car. this one rolled down a hill and under a parked semi trailer.

and the ever popular engine shot

can you say bhg?

Nothing like a challenge... lol.
Didn't realise what a smokin' deal I got on my 90 (paid 800.00 for it) until I saw this : )

is that 2 different cars? (noticed one was automagic and the other one stick)


oh wait.. just read the little bylines.. my bad : )

Dang!! That parts car is pretty banges up dude. Nice score on the Turbo car, what are your plans for it? Fun daily, or more of a weekend/summer car with some upgrades?

mostly a summer toy, going to mod it out for autocross, but be somewhat a daily driver for when the weather is good. for when the weather is crap, i got an explorer, a yj and a grand cherokee.

interior is getting switched, since the maroon interior is in much nicer shape, no rips or tears in the seats. and the auto will be replaced soon with a 5spd. ill use the w58 since i got it, but ill be looking for a r154, or i may go t56 swap.

the bhg is in the non turbo one, i was after the head to start a port and polish, which im doing in my bedroom, yey for being single atm!. so head will be all re-done then it will be a simple weekend job. the headgasket has been replaced with a new oem one and set to 65ftlbs, so there shouldnt be any damage to block ill need done.

and in other news i got the taillight replaced today, now it doesnt look stupid with a tucktape light
