Default Picked up Ryan's 86 turbo shell over the weekend

Got it home ok on Saturday. Had to bolt back on the the front suspension and swap in a rear torsion carrier with t-bars inside. I found out that a lug nut will work on the top of a front strut to hold it together Brad and Albert and another friend came along for the adventure and we had a good time - lunch at 5 guys with Ryan after getting the car on the tow dolly...

Hey Spencer - I'll be taking everything off of value like the suspension, rear trailing arms, front header panel, dash, sunroof, and windshield and then recycling whatever is left on Saturday July 31st. I got a nice set of upgraged brand new torsion bars with the car that I am hoping to install in the black turbo. Limited slip trans in this white one has some 1st and reverse gear synchro issues - might try to sell it as is or take it to a local buddy who does work on Porsche transmission.

No, no, NO! The correct answer is "I'm going to make a track car out of it!!!!!"

Sure - driver's side is cut for the side exhaust though - did you see that?
