I've been missing grinding on rusty metal since Rick bought the pink car. So, I had to scratch that itch, and craigslist delivered. It was a father son project, and sadly the father passed. It came loaded with new/good parts.

New Weltmeister sways F/R
Autopower Roll cage
FG Flares/Rockers/Bumpers/Valence
Brand new targa seal
New KYB's (I have some bilsteins to throw on it)
New Brakes
5-lug adapters (I have 5 lug struts to put on it)
Brand new fuel cell
New euro turns f/r
16" BBS's
No Motor
More I can't think of....

And it has some typical rust. I was hoping for AZ rust free, but that is a white buffalo.

Yeah, it sits high in the front for sure. No motor in the back. I don't think they ever dialed it in after the new KYB's.

I don't know yet. This car is begging to pump water. A basic NA Suby Ej25 is on my mind today. I like that its already been half bastardized so I don't have to feel bad about it.

I'd probably just do the EJ25 NA for now, like we talked about. Its a good balance of budget and practicality.

Here are some front trunk pics. They cut the bulkhead planning to move the fuel cell back. And, they cut the front for an oil cooler. I doubt if I will keep the fuel cell, I'm not sure it really makes sense. And, I would probably patch the bulkhead either way. This car was an AC car so the front trunk floor is cut too. Thats why I said the car is asking for a radiator. I need to fix some rust, then I will decide what to do. The engine shelf is bad so it either needs to be replaced (air cooled), or removed altogether (water cooled).
