Thats something that Ive not gotten around to doing its gonna go get tanked this weekend though. Im working on the head next gotta get those oversized valves for it and find someone around here that I trust to do the work. My machinst doesnt have the equipment for the head work so Im in the process of looking right know. Glad to here everythings going good for ya.
Ok found a new shell. Its an 88 n/a that Im gonna put the T motor in because the body is in better shape. I got it locally for 500 its just not got an interior just seats BUT it does run and very well for a car thats been sitting for over a year. I'll get pics up tomorrow.

Ok heres the pics of my 88 N/A donor car its in great shape. The body has a few scratches but all in all its gonna be perfect for my turbo motor when its all said and done. Not to mention Im gonna save more 3 times more for buying this in body work on my 89gte.

Ok my new shell has a problem its not got a key for the ignition or the doors. Evidently the previous owner lost the keys and butchered the ignition to get it started. So Im going to pull my 89 steering column and use it since Ive got a key for it. Im also going to be taking the door locks from the 89 and installing them into my 88. I'll post up some pics when I start the process.
you dont have to pull the whole stering column, 2 17mm bolts underneath and it drops the column down, u should be able to get what u need from there.
