Looks a little more rough in person than the pics show, the paint is badly faded, but first it needs a new Muffler and a WP-TB job done, Mechanical before appearance because having a good looking car that runs like a POS is stupid...

For now the only issues she has mechanicaly is the Muffler is rotted, and there is no documents for the TB change so I will tackle that first...And then the non-working temp gauge needs to be fixed other than that she is turn key, makes boost insanely and turns and stops on a dime.. Not even any trans whine....

Should be a fun addition to the stable...

What boost level is the car set on right now?

Also get an after market gauge for boost because the stock ones are routinely wrong, according to mine our atmospheric pressure is only .4 bar...

When I put a boost gauge I learned the car was making 14-15 psi in fourth not the .6 bar as my gauge read..

Nice find! I'm sure a good wax can get that paint looking pretty good. Also, might want to get a compression check just for assurance.

Boost is stock, I am planing on adding a manual boost controller and aftermarket boost gauge. Then get it 100% mechanically sorted and go from there...
