i bought a erst 2day, d plate red un, bit manky underside but looks a nice enuff car, neways, its got a turbo technice plate on the slam panel dated '87, was wondering if it is likerly to be a turbo swap or maybe a developement car (bit late i know)
i bought the car to break for parts for my other 2 but if its sumthin special ill do the 2 bits of welding and repair the few marks and have it as a whole car again
ill get the details off the panel 2morra as the car isnt outside my house atm
