Just picked up another car!
So.. last month I purchased a 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo for $400. It was pretty well haggered.. but it ran.
Yesterday I went and towed home a 94 Capri for $400. So.. I will be putting the 2 cars together with some progress pictures.
These are not the greatest cars in the world.. but I should be able to put the 2 together and make a pretty nice turbo daily driver for myself. Put the top down and cruise around in it. Should be fun
Hey... I still have the tow dolly in my possesion till like 1pm... if anybody needs something moved in the Virginia Beach area.

Re: Just picked up another car!
Sell me the Xr2 so I can use it for a Festiva swap. 
Id highly recommend you look into that. Just have to fab some mounts in order to use the xr2 trans. Wish i didn't get sick of mine and sell it, that car was funnnnn.

So.. maybe I will eventually take this engine for Festiva swap. And I think Corksport.com sell motor mount kits for it.
should be fun.. but is all after I finish with my Z.

Re: Just picked up another car!
I was sited by the city over it. So... since it was the worse looking vehicle. It was put behind my fence until i finish the other projects of mine. I actually have it listed forsale right now.
If I dont get what I want.. I will finish it here soon. I have a ton of projects.
2001 Xterra that needs an engine swap
1990 300ZX that needs an engine install
1998 Frontier that needs a clutch and some cosmetic work
1996 Elantra that need some trans work
1991 Mercury Capri XR2 that needs cosmetic work
1998 Nissan Pathfinder that needs a front end
2005 Yamaha R6 needs to be finished putting together.
so... I am kinda doing them one at a time.. but the Frontier got pushed to the back.
