Well it all started back in 2007. I had just gotten my license and had been wanting a project car. I had a 1987 Toyota van as my daily driver and some money burning a hole in my pocket. I found it in a apartment complex close to my work. It was bright yellow and had a weird grill on it. Then one day it was gone. Later I saw it again at a trailer park. The owners had moved. I Didn't know it was for sale till I asked the owner, turns out It had a for sale sign on it but the windows were so dark you couldn't see it.
The owners son was planning on making a little race car out of it but sadly had died.
the dad was just trying to get rid of it now. After some talking we agreed on a price $1000. Some how it started up and I was able to drive it home that night. Looking back now probably not the smartest thing to do, given the brakes went right to the floor, I had to pump the clutch quite a few times before I could change gear. But I was so excited to get it home, safety third. Haha. I only had to drive a few miles so not to bad.
They had swaped in a 5 speed from possibly a 240z or somthing, and also put a L18 in.
After getting it home I found out later that the trusty e-brake I had used to stop was connected if you can call it that by a few metal hangers wrapped up connecting the lever to the cable
... I can't believe how far this car has come. This is the one with the custom intake manifold, right?
