1983 Portland OR


I bought this car at an auction in portland oregon when i was 13 for $279.00 and was a champain pink! HAHA till it was parked under the tree in my dads yard for over a year and pitches the hell out of the paint so i primed it back. If you have any advice pleaase dont be scared to say what is on your mind.

My further plans.

Shave door handels
Put 87 Turbo coupe motor and hood with custom twin turbo and inner cooler
Paint Black with camillion bodyline stripe (painted)
Diskbrake all the way around
Air Ride
Sway bars upper and lower
tint windows
:D
And much more needless to say it will be in many car shows when done and will be done professionaly

What do you guys think ?

as far as anyone knows on this site there are NO more body kits made for these cars... but you do see an occasional body kit floating around on ebay or the likes... made by GST and i think there is another kit but im not 100% sure... do you have any views fromt eh frotn and maybe angled... it seems like your wheels stick out a lil bit and i wanted to see how it looks :-D  BTW im from roseburg oregon and i have an 84 so i may have parts depending on what you need. i will be parting out the interior.  also there wasnt any turbo coupe v8's the turbocoupes were all turbo 2.3's but ive seen alot of turbo coupes with a v8 in them for some reason lol.
