Default My 87 951 project

Well recently I was floating around on the internet and had been looking for a project and stumbled across this car.I figured I'll drive the 130 or so miles and give it a look.Anyways I was expecting at best a parts car.Well I get down there and was pleasntly suprised,the pictures didnt do it justice at all.So I went ahead and made an offer and trailered it home.The car has been sitting for the past 3-4 years and I've got some maint records on it and he said he'd send me the rest when he found them.It was horrible when I first got it,covered in about an inch of dirt.I'm in the process of trying to get that brown stuff on the interior off and already ordered some recovered seats.Heres a few pics,I'm starting to tear it down for a new tbelt/balace shaft belt.I'm not quiet sure what I'll do with the car just yet but I might sell it off because I'm more of an e36 m3 kind of guy.Anyways heres some pictures

I'll snap some new pics tomorrow,or after I buy some wheels.I hate those stockers.Anyways I saved it from the scrap yard.Theres a huge porsche salvage in the area and they were going to buy it and part it.Its not super clean but worth saving from the yard.Anyone know of a good cleaner to get that brown crap off the trim?

Welcome! Those interior parts wouldn't be to difficult to dye. That car is Nautic Metallic L Y5Z and your paint and option codes can be found under the hatch carpet on the rear drivers side right next to the tail light.

What condition are the wheels in? If you're not going to use them, I might be interested in them.
