Interesting repair method on the bumper.

 

You'll get it lookin great again.

Posted

yeah it's a good look. i'm going to throw some bolts in the bumber on my other gp just for the bling factor

Posted

Holy beat to hell!! :eek: California plates mean no rust? I'm sure it will look great after you fix her up! :cool:

Posted

not a spot of rust that i can find. aside from the obvious surface rust on the subframe.

 

i have access to a better set of leather seats for her. i have a 282 and all the parts in the garage. all i will have to find is the body parts.

Wow, that's rougher than my $400 Z!

 

Nice pickup! Hope to see her looking better soon!

Posted

thats depressing just looking at it.

Posted

at lweast it's getting fixed and not parted out

 

yay Dan....good pickup though....you saved one more TGP...Bless your heart

Posted

i seriously considered parting it for my turbo 3100 5 speed project. but there are no dents on the quarters and no rust. i couldn't bear to do it.

How many miles are on the car? What's the VIN #(PM if you don't want to post it here for some odd reason...I'm keeping a database of TGP Vin's)? That driver's seat bolster looks like it survived a shotgun blast. :lol: Time to start scouring junkyards hoping you can find a good front bumper cover.

102,000 miles. i'll post the vin tomorrow, too dark now.

 

incidentally, i flushed the old gas and put in some new and a good battery. fired up first try.

 

yeah, seats are folded. the rear ones aren't TOO terrible. actually, they aren't bad at all. the front seats and the headliner are the only problems inside. the hud even works.

 

as far as a bumper cover...i'm not holding my breath. i may end up slapping a 91-93 b4u bumper cover on it until i find one. i've never seen a tgp in a junk yard, so i'm not goin g to hold out for one

I said it befor, If I ever wreck my TGP, its getting a B4U mini quad setup. So much easier to work with than the TGP front end.

vin # 1G5WP14V0LF278519

 

Thanks. Oh yeah, cd or tape?

Not bad, the motor alone is probably worth $500. New fender, bumper and seats and you're 3/4 of the way home :) I didn't even know there was a turbo 3.1 (with such limited production it's no surprise)

Yeap, welcome to the world of forced induction. Althou, there is that other member that has like 6 of them now... I had 2, sold 1, the person I sold my 1 to, now has 2. Neither are driveable (salvage title on one, no title on the other).
