I used to post here a little over a year ago
I had a 94 cobra with a forged 306 and a KB on it.



I got a lightning to replace it, and then a superduty.
Well, i stumbled upon a 4runner that i had planned to wheel. But, im now moving to cali, so the plans changed.

So, i traded it for this

Its an 89 LX Convertible
Motor is out of a 93 as is the trans. Whole care has ~80,000 on it.
Mods are Edelbrock 65mm TB, bbk CAI, March underdrive pullies, mac shorties, mac 2.5" exhaust, centerforce clutch, auburn posi, 31 spline shafts, 3.73's, 6 point cage, subframe connectors, 5 lug conversion with 95 spindles and brakes, stainless brake lines, poly motor mounts, 17" bullits and i think thats it.

I plan to put a set of GT-40 heads, intake, e-cam, and 24lb injectors i have at home in it. Along with a cal'd maf. It'll be my DD down in san diego.

are notch back decklids bolt ins on the verts?

im pretty sure you can get one of a notch or take the rack off, weld the holes, and repaint

am i wrong to think that verts and coupes have different trunk lids?? i could be wrong, but in my mind they have slightly different body lines back there

maybe i'm a moron though

nice car by the way!

I would just go for some nerf padding for the roll bar. And there's a lot of colors to choose from. But I'm sure you already know this being a 4-wheeler.

Nice!! That thing will be fun in San Diego!! I lived there for 3 1/2 years, there was always somethin to do car wise down there!! I'll ask my buddy what it takes to put the coupe deck lid on the vert.
