"Project unknown". Ahh yes, sounds very familiar!
There was a mods list that included things like "Tine Coilovers", "Fuelube FPR and Filter", "blown turbo with zero shaft play",
I have a parts car to finish pulling apart before I dig into this one. I actually raced him a couple weeks ago and this car was very quick. Not quite as quick as mine (also 50 trim) but quick enough that I knew he wasn't on a 16g. The car wasn't smoking at all, at that time. Since then it started pouring smoke, and it looks like the exhaust is getting oil dumped straight in. The turbo is toasted, but maybe rebuild-able.
I initially wanted it for parts, but after seeing how straight the sheet metal is, there is a chance I send it off for paint this winter instead of my silver car. then ill swap it all over into the painted shell in the spring.
Or maybe it will end up a drag shell?
Or maybe it will end up a parts car?
Or maybe I will fix the oil leak and sell it as is?
