Title: Guess who bought a new toy...
Post by: crystal on August 11, 2005, 03:24:35 PM
Well, with the sport rusting from the inside out, I decided it was time to find another base to start from.

Seeing as I'm gonna lose my sunroof, I guess I'll just have to make this one a little extra fast (I can deal with that compromise). And from the looks of it, I should have a fun drive home in it :D

The motor mounts are custom made heavy duty units. They were made by Chuck W, from the NATO website. I think he made a limited run of 25 sets, awesome worksmanship/quality.
:D


Looks like a good buy Crystal.  Gonna be a haul to get it home though...wait...looks like you moved.....so it's a bit closer.

put a 5.0 in it, that 4 cylinder will never make any power

Hey Chuck, bet you're glad to see your motor mounts staying in the circle, lol.

This car's not gonna see roads for a bit once it's home. It's getting stripped over the winter and it will be done right. The t/c drivetrain probably won't go back in this car... my project bird will be a 5.0, but don't worry that 2.3 turbo will find a good home in a nice lightweight hotrod further down the line :D

ever since i bought my turbo coupe, ive been hearing the "the 4 cylinder makes no power, put a V8 in it" and all those ignorant comments, so i might as well jump on the dick waving band wagon  :hick:

agreed.

NICE purchase. and a great price.. to bad its not a 4 eye.. hehe

 :crazy:

I would still drive it around with the Turbo 4, I have been thinking about picking up a TC when I get to have a toy again, just to see what they are like. That or another capri with the inline 6. I still miss that car too.
