Default Visited Rock's former turbo today- in the junk yard

went out cruising after buffing my nose panel out today and ended up out near the yard i took Rock's car to a few months earlier. I wanted to check it out so i stopped by Miami auto yard and BS'ed w/ the owner for awhile and snapped a few pics just for fun. Enjoy!

Dan, your car looks great!

There are still useable parts left on Rock's car, looks like doors, hatch, and some other odds and ends.

turbo had been in an engine fire, engine was put back together, front end repainted, and then it was rear ended. We put the drivetrain into Rocks current S2cab/turbo. I parted the car out and hauled this to the junkyard but it still has doors-one is pushed in alittle, hatch w/ no latches, wiper motor, broken windsheild, burnt up mastercylinder and booster, ignition lock cylinder and switch/column (i have the key!) and a full set of burned up victoracers inside. It still has the wiring in the doors and dash but all computer harness etc is in rocks car. Rear bumper is on the car but the center is broken-endcaps still on there. I pulled alot of stuff and ran out of places to stash stuff so i took it there and dropped it off- Its over to the side away from all the other stuff so yeah its lonely.

Pretty cool pics Dan. Why didn't you slap those Victo's on the car for some burn outs?
