[urq] my '85 urq

[a.j.gaidos at comcast.net]

All,

I am located in Santa Cruz, California. The list of things I've repaired or replaced over the 9 years I've owned the car is extremely long. To be a solid, reliable car all it needs is the turbo replaced. To be a real nice car from top to bottom it needs paint, a good cleaning inside and the front seats recovered.

In the last 6 months I put in over $5000. Shortly after I bought the car I put in about the same. She runs smooth and makes full boost and lots of power. I'm very bummed that the oil seal in the turbo failed the very day I was driving her home after all that work I had done to make her a daily driver.

I've decided if I were to keep the car I'd put a newer knock sensor motor in. When the motor is out I would pull out the seats, get the whole car repainted, , replace the windshield, replace the carpet and have a real nice car. I just don't know I want to spend another $12K on the car. I think I want a Master bedroom and a hot tub more.

At the moment I'm pulling county permits for a 20 x 24 garage - big enough for my 2001 Jeep XJ and my 2003 Mach 1.... So again, only people with money and serious interest.

Thanks.

Anton
