Well I bought this car (A white 1989 Turbo Targa 5 speed) while I was in Chicago for trade school. I already had an '89 Turbo Targa automatic in red back in NY.
When I bought it:
Shortly thereafter my radiator cracked, so this:
Then I got whacked in mt front right corner (hiding in the back):
Then I started the hear a bad case of rod knock coming on, so I parked it until I moved back to NY, which is when I began my real project. I'm going to break this off into another post.

As I promised, the story continues. I removed the bumpers, fenders, hood, and drilled out the front cross member to make my life easier.
Notice this is on an angled stone driveway :aigo:

I see now that it just attached my last post, I wonder if this will do the same.

That's about all for pictures for now because my phones camera stopped working around that time.
As of right now, the car is getting a set of wiseco forged pistons, 1.2mm metal HG, arp hardware, 1000cc injectors, BC 280 cams if I can get ahold of them, 272's if not, megasquirt, walbro fuel pump, lc1 wideband, I have a BIC 3" DP with divorced wastegate, SS pressure line for P/S, all parts to rebuild shifter, probably a spec stage 5 clutch, lots of other stuff I'm probably forgetting. The engine is being assembled and tuned by BaldTurboFreak racing, a local guy who is a boss at tuning with megasquirt and many others.
The only thing that is going to hold the car back is the stock turbo. That will be upgraded later on.
