My payment for the car just got there Tuesday - that was some fast shipping. This is the 89 turbo with the stock rims that was hit in the front on the passenger corner.

Will post pics later but dang! - car took a hard hit. The top is actually buckled around the sunroof!

 

Was this the black car on ebay?

 

Are you building a turbo cab??

 

Well - there were actually two turbo S parts cars on ebay - this is the one that was in IL.

Hey Richard! I should but I don't think I could afford to keep that and my black 87. How are you guys doing? Your little guy into all things car related yet? My boy is always behind the wheel trying to rip off the turn signal stalk when I am out working on the car

 

 

 

 

Sorry to hear! Couldn't tell that much from the first pic you posted.

 

can't trust those 20 year old airbags...they didn't deploy even after that hard an impact

 

so i guess that car wasnt really as advertised LOL. if you part it im sure will turn out to be a great deal.

 

Definitely a parts car. Wonder why the airbags did not go off? Was is parked or stopped at a light. PS pump is trashed. The rest of it looks stock right down to the equalizer. That was quick shipping for sure.

 

well, since it hasn't been said yet.."that'll buff out."

 

what a grungy bastard that is. Excellent parts car!

pm sent - need a small part

 

Yep - ad was a little misleading Figured on that though especially when buying long distance through ebay and from a dealer to boot

I don't know - perplexing to me as well. Who knows - the whol car has been painted - maybe they've already gone off once and then never replaced. I think I noticed the original VIN stickers on both front fenders though.

I am wondering if that extreme damage to the outer lips of the passenger wheels happened at the same time?

I am curious to see if the tabs have been disturbed on the DME and KLR boxes.

Hopefully I can remove some of the front sheet metal this evening and take some more pics.

 

That's the first i've seen of that, other than my car. A year ago i was screwing around on some mountain roads and my tires got a little warm, causing me to go off-road a bit. Really wasn't a bad offroad adventure, but my return to pavement (basically the effect of hitting a small curb) caused that kind of wrinkling around the sunroof. I've been debating whether that means it's time to salvage my car...
(Sorry to hijack, it's just not something i want to create a thread about, and yours is the first mention of it that i've seen)
