Fila got another.... Reply #15 – June 16, 2007, 01:23:41 PM I'm sure I will. But for $100 man, even if I do gut it.... the rear and suspention I want for mine is worth that. IF I can save it I will sure as hell try. If not I know a good homes for most of the stuff on the car Quote Selected

Fila got another.... Reply #21 – June 16, 2007, 10:09:58 PM We'll know soon how bad. There IS rust in the strut tower, about 1" tall, 3" wide on teh driver side. Passanger doesn't look that bad. Also a bit on the frame. I hate to see the car go to shiznit over some rust. Is it possable to save it/patch weld to save the car? I know we're going blind here with no pics but I'll try to get some up later Quote Selected
Fila got another.... Reply #22 – June 16, 2007, 10:20:56 PM Grind it down and find out exactly how much rust there is.Rust finds a way to hide sometimes,then,you may be able to have a nice piece of steel welded in. Quote Selected

Fila got another.... Reply #24 – June 16, 2007, 10:42:17 PM Mikey, you've been busting your nuts trying to get the fila done and have made excellent progress. I don't in any way mean to burst your bubble on the new toy but you should consider parting and using the cash to finish up the fila.I've had my '86 for almost a year and I now came to that conclusion for myself.

Fila got another.... Reply #26 – June 16, 2007, 11:34:59 PM Nice score!If there's rust on the towers then just part it out. Chances are it is worse than it appears to be. That thing needs a lot of work and you've got quite a bit on your plate already. Take what you need for the Fila (8.8, Front Brakes... ) and sell the rest. Quote Selected
Fila got another.... Reply #27 – June 16, 2007, 11:49:04 PM they have a good point thats how my black one was, we jsut found more and more and more, thats why now its a parts shed for all the other turbo coupe parts. Quote Selected
Fila got another.... Reply #28 – June 17, 2007, 12:02:06 AM I keep hearing worse and worse things about rust. As of now I still have hope, but start calling parts if you want it. Stuff I want for sure is the rear, front brake setup including spindles. Rest is up. Some people have dibs on stuff but for sure no one has spoken up but Brian. You want stuff hit me up here, in the new thread I'm about to make, or through PM. I'm easy enough to find Quote Selected
Fila got another.... Reply #29 – June 17, 2007, 12:12:41 AM honestly, if you're not going to convert to 4-wheel disc, id sell the rear end complete. your 7.5" will handle whatever YOU throw at it. my friend is running 11.02's on his with a factory t-lok, 3.73's, and stock axles! use the money to put into that fila. think of buying this car as a money making oppurtunity. if i came across the same deal, id part it out. $100 is WAY cheap, when you can make close $2,000 off of it parting it.
