I am at work where certain sites/site pictures are restricted from view in my browser and I can already tell this will not be a pretty sight.

Haha I hope not but no I bought this car not running and known to the person I bought it from it was sitting for a few years and had sat for another 1.5 year since I've had it. Assuming there was no fuel in there at all it was all rusted and tons of mineral build up. In the process of cleaning up the tank now but I will probably buy a tank locally from a member on here. But yea it was nasttyyyy!
Now before everyone goes into "why did you buy a shitty car that sat for a long time"
It was listed as a 92 for 700...but it was a 91 turbo, modded and had around $2000 worth of parts that I sold it all and only paid $350 for the car. I had to rescue this Gem from the guy that didn't know wtf he had.

Cool beans! No idea what a Graphical Control Computer does, but it looks intense
My dumb ass just left the driver window down on my supra through a really bad thunder storm. My seat and door panel are soaked...

Not bad looking actually, I bet those are better than leather on long rides. How much do those run?

Thanks! Yeah I've got a set in my H3 and I love them. I paid about $230 for the front two.

Gave up (for now) on finding used parts needed to assemble my engine.
1 pin for the timing gear on the exhaust cam (5mmX13mm) bought at dealer (Special order, go figure) for $3.91
2X fuel rail standoffs (Will salvage from '89.)
Tomorrow, the pin is supposed to be in, so the plan is to get the timing belt installed. Still missing the Woodruff key for the crank pulley, but again, I'll probably salvage that from the '89. Also, the crank pulley doesn't need to be installed until the engine is ready to drop in, so I'm not panicked about it. Let's get it assembled to the point where that will matter first!
Speaking of salvage from the '89, I'll probably pull the motor out of that this weekend. Haven't really got a place to PUT it, which is a potential problem, but I need some stuff off of it, and it's so much easier to do if it's not in the car. I think. Still, I don't want to do major disassembly on it yet, and as mentioned, I haven't got anywhere to put it, so I'll probably have to take parts that can be removed while it's hanging from the hoist. The fuel rail standoffs are probably about as involved as I dare.
