cyclonegrey Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Putting in the progress so far and it's going to take a while to get all the pics and details up. Need to find a place to host photos so I can post. I don't want to have to pay if at all possible. I will be trying to separate the posts by date completed. I have a TON of pics so will need to spread them out. June 10th 2022: I saw an add on facebook market place for an unloved 87 Conquest TSI. It was posted by a local salvage yard and even though I wasn't looking for a car I was compelled by the car. I decided to take my chances and take a look. The car was in BAD BAD shape but for some reason the universe spoke to me and said this car needed to be saved not parted out so I made the deal. 3 hours later the flatbed arrived at the house to drop her off... The wife was NOT pleased...

kev Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 It looks to be in great shape. I don't see any rust there which is very unique for a car in New Jersey. Congrats! Look forward to hearing how you fix it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
