im going to ask this again. honest opinions on this. please dont jack my thread again. :cry:
so i just got another job and i graduate next week. i have 4 months till i turn 18 and get kicked to the curb. i can do anything i want in this time and have no bills. supra number 1 is toast. im picking up a very clean fully loaded 87 non turbo auto 100k miles with a seized engine. i will swamp in my motor and take any salvage parts of the other engine for spare or rebuild with best parts altogether. now say i have this very clean car with the engine that runs.
down the road would you dump some cash into it and covert it to turbo OR find a turbo model in the same condition? do you find it ethically wrong to convert an N/A to turbo? does it decrease the value? will it just always be a "conversion"? are people anal about the vins matching etc? how would the value stand up to an originally turbo to a converted turbo? and finally is it even worth it? i see that original turbos are worth about 2 or 3 times more than an N/A in the same exact condition
about where im going in 4 months, im moving in with my coolest uncle for a very minimal fee.hes never home (works in the bay) and has had a huge bedroom(twice the size of my current room) with a bathroom in it empty for 5 years. i already talked to him and he has no problem with it. i will not move in with this girl. she will disappear. i am also already enrolled in a community college.
