parrotfever is on a distinguished road
Default Where do I begin?






I brought her home new in '89, parked her in '93 with approx 130m miles (87m on odometer), and have left her sitting ever since...Where would you start?

I know the engine was smoking and had lost compression when last started. Body is good, but mice have partied under the hood and inside. The paint has crazed and chipped. I'm starting with a general cleaning and will pull the engine within the month. In the meantime, all advice, suggestions, and warnings will be greatly appreciated. My goal, initially, is to return to NA functionality. My eventual goal will be to gain what I can in HP w/o turbo - up to the convertible's ability to handle the stress.

I waited this long in order to gain 'classic' tags to reduce my insurance costs. With 3 driving age kids, I've come to realize that that was one of the stupidest ideas I ever had! Money's tight, but I want to do it right.

I'll post some more photos in an album today showing other perspectives of the car and its current home.
