Default Bought another 951 - pics inside

I bought this 1986 turbo in Savannah on Feb 14. It had been in storage for 5 years. I changed the timing belt, installed new hood shocks, restored the stock radio wires, removed an aftermarket alarm, replaced the front brake lines and front left caliper, installed a light in the clock and new trim around it, new air filter, new battery and changed the oil. It needs tires pretty badly - the Yoko AVS Sports on it are from 2003 and flat spotted. The tach isn't working - I think I'm going to have to buy another cluster. Also I can't get the power mirror motors to work - not sure what that is caused by.

Nice pickup, that is a great color / option combo for a 951.

As much as I would like another set of front fenders, that car looks too nice to part out.

A nice find. Why was it sitting for 5 years when it looks like that?

I have a theory on the 5R option, it includes LSD, cooler loop and a cup clutch. If you do the clutch, see which disc it has. I have only verified it on 3 cars, but they each had the cup disc.

I guess this is the keeper and red is a crusher?
