havnt been on the site in a few weeks and saw that a lot of you wanted mroe pictures of the car.

i bought this car as a dead bird, barly ran and was NON TURBO 2.3l
automatic car with every option minus leather and sunroof, o and with 223,5?? miles
so here we go first day i had her. 400 bucks wasnt a bad deal, wel it need an alternator, foudn out the guy tried "adapting" a 87 TC alternator on a 88, dont work, plugs are difernt so the guy "wrapped" the standard two putput wires around the single ring termal end of the harness, likily this being my 4th TC i had an extra 88 alt laying around.
i invets soem new brakes all around, inlcuding all 4 calipers brake cables, and countles sother items, i smear it was aorunf 1500 in part (at cost)
