Bought 2 things today.

First
1993 244. Light shot to the grill. No frame damage. Perfect black interior, R134A AC and a great color.



After I drop it off, its back out to get this.
1990 244. Frame damage to the ass. 138,000 miles great looking car with a perfect black interior. This car will donate all it can so the red 244 can live on.


So now I have to put big red back together after the interior swap.
Get the radiator, waterpump and all hoses put in the S70 so I can sell it.
Get the Dodge Dakota 4x4 together that I bought for my nephews 16th birthday
AND make one nice car out of two.

That should keep me busy for a while.

What turbo are you going to use?

I picked a pretty circuitous route and arguably cheated slightly, but I'm going to get there
