:gossip: Well the cat has been out of the bag for a while but it is time to make it official. Since selling my 92 coupe due to financial reasons only to land a decent job a few weeks later it is time to move on.
A good friend of mine picked up a 89 coupe for a decent price a while back and decided shortly after to get out of the car game for a while. He offered me a great deal on this gem/junk and passed along great fenders and a decent door to replace the dented door that is currently roosting on the passenger side.
I have had little time to work on it as of yet but have decent plans for a track only, family fun toy that should be ready for test passes late next season.
The plans:
The shell will be gutted and lightened, mini tubed, 12 point 1 5/8" moly with thru floor frame times (hopefully 25.5 certified or easily converted). Reinforced upper and lower torque boxes, coil over rear suspension and a very stout 8.8 rear with strange internals and brakes.
Front suspension will consist of Team Z full K member/front suspension with strange brakes, Flaming River manual rack and steering shaft, bump steer and a few other goodies.
The Drive train will consist of a small cubic inch Windsor, Canfield heads (mildy ported) Victor SR. inkake and most of the top end off my old combo.
I will post up pictures of the ugly turd in the next couple days. Today i just had some free time so i thought I would share what i have so far and take it from there.
Thanks for reading, soon there will be something to view.
