FS - project '83 urq

[Kevin Wenzel]

Greetings -

Having not yet built the shop I intended to build on the acreage
surrounding the house I bought last year, I've run out of space (my EP car
is about to be joined by an Open-class 323gtx, and I've come to the
conclusion I can't deal with any cars that aren't reliable transportation,
have towing utility, are worthwhile in a competition context or can't just
sit out in the field waiting to be stripped).

The car itself is not terribly pretty, and I'd been intending to do an MC
conversion at some point (in fact, the car would come with the rights to
the motor out of an 87 5kcsq wagon).  It does have a Dialynx radiator
installed, an SGI fiberglass SQ replica hood that I haven't painted or
installed yet ( http://www.sgi-online.de/b2_front.shtml for what it's
supposed to look like when installed - bolts up to stock hinges/hardware),
a set of 15x8 Ronals, two sets of stock 15x6 wheels (one with brand-new
never-touched-the-ground Blizzaks), and a set of Eibach springs that aren't
on the car (relatively new Boge shocks are on the car now, not enough
damping for those springs).

The car is in La Salle, CO (10 miles south of Greeley), and $3500 takes the
whole pile.  Pictures at:

Email me for more specific information on the car itself, but a summary:

It runs decently, with some starting issues and high-boost hesitation (that
I suspect may have something to do with the complete lack of IC
shrouding).  Stock block, and an early 5kt head.  The lines to the oil
cooler are in need of replacement, as is the turbo inlet hose.

Stock steering/brake boost system is leaking - bomb is OK, but the
high-pressure hose needs to be replaced or repaired.

Paint is not good (faded-to-orangeish mars rot, chipped on the front bumper
and leading edge of hood), and the body needs some work.  The stock hood is
bent in a couple of spots (which is why I obtained the SGI hood), and there
is a rust spot on the RR fender (shown in one of the pictures) that needs
to be dealt with soon (although the rockers and floor are fine,
AFAIK).  The interior is actually pretty good, although the driver's side
left-hand bolster is wearing through and the leather is a bit stiff
everywhere.  The dash has a couple of the usual cracks.

I was about halfway through modifying the diff locks - the center uses a 5k
setup (via Dave Lawson's method) and works, but the rear isn't hooked up at
the moment.

AC has been removed.

I can deliver via trailer in Colorado, and there's a possibility that I'll
be taking my enclosed trailer empty to LA some time in the next couple of
months, so I could drag the urq along then as well.
