Well.. I have a thread for red car.. so I decided I should open one up for green car. Green car I bought some 12 years ago, bone stock with 22k miles on it out of Ohio.
The car evolved as most cars do and here we are today. Car blew a head gasket so the engine was pulled and now im in the process of reassembly. This car has been a basket case ever since going turbo 8 years ago.
Anyway. Here's some progress. New Ford oem gaskets on my freshly decked heads. Reinstalled the turbo cams
Even though I'm excited to get it back together, it almost pains me having to put this turbo kit back on again since I no longer race the car. Had the kit up for sale or trade 4 months and didn't get much attention for it. 1 person offered a ported cobra tork tek kit and one person I tried working out a deal for had a vortech v2 TI trim, but that one fell through. Anyway. Here's the mod list on the car
