Formerly The $700 1988 245
edit: There's a lot of broken pictures in the first several pages and it's all kinda irrelevant anyhow, skip ahead to like page 12 or 13. Or don't. Up to you. The engine from this car (a '93 squirter block) lives on in my '82 244GL (formerly a diesel automatic) and I just never bothered to make a new thread. Basically think of this as a project thread for my engine because it's outlived two 240s already, and that's too many project threads.
~~~~~~~~
Just bought it. $700, came with a bunch of oil filters and 6 ****ty tires on steelies. Also a radiator and some other things. Nearly 300k on the body, if the odo is right. Has a turbo engine of unknown year and unknown mileage at stock boost for now. Side pipe with a cherry bomb, locker, and the sloppiest shifter I've ever seen. It's rusty, but significantly less so than my $200 '86. It's gonna be pretty awesome.
