I rescued that car, Jake enjoys the benefits of mostly my hard work.
Careful about what your typing in public forums.
I'm SOOOO glad I have money in my ameritrade account, and have a bright future. We're both glad, so worked out well for everyone.

Yes it did, he updates me about the car, and I answer his questions. We are still in phone/email contact and I couldn't be happier someone in the right time of life could finish my project properly.

Let me make a bold assumption and bet that you don't have $25k in your account from the sale of the car though?

I've spent about $5000 to get this car where it is.
So that means this car has $30,000 put into it.
If thats true, then this car must have a silver subframe, because i sure don't see $30k.
Eyal, you bought so many parts used, you didn't have a single receipt for anything!
Searching for info on the parts you supplied took me twice as long as it did to just install them.
I'm lucky i didn't end up with a 3000 lb paperweight.
333pg333: You are right in 87' the hubs were pushed out to make room for the ABS sensors. The rears are 18x10 w/ 265/35 falkens
I would need to roll the fender lip in order to fit 285's. i bought these off of GUN951, and i forget what the offset it, but its F'n Close, thats for sure.

Just speculation - want to make that clear, but I am having trouble seeing anything like $25k in that car when he bought it - but anything is possible.
May want to try Scottrade. I have been an active trader for 15 years and appreciate their features.

agreed, 25k and the car still had stock:
Suspension
Sway Bars
Brakes
Wheels
Headers
Innercooler
IC pipes
Transmission w/o LSD
& bottom end
So that means you spend $25k on
2nd hand turbo / zietronix / smt-5 / Injectors / Huntley MAF / strut brace
porting & a valve job
silicon hoses
BOV
tial WG
exhaust
a roll bar & some Corbeau seats.
