Good buy! Especially if the rust isn't too bad. Looks like there is some rust on the right rear fender, at least in the photos everything else looks pretty sound.
The front clip looks like it came from the Sport Coupe model(think the LX had a chrome grill on the clip). Are you planing to restore it to original or or build up a modified TC?

im going to replace the front with the turbo coupe facia i dont like the way it looks with that the bumper is right on the plus side lol. here is a little about the motor i just picked up: fairly low miles since being rebuilt 8 years ago. The turbo is a Garrett T3 with the .63 hot side, and was also rebuilt at the same time. The car also has a custom air-to-water intercooler head work an cam unsure of spec's. rust is not bad at all on the car im going to take better pics 2mrw b4 i start taking it apart.

Yep, sure do. I heard about that 84 TC just a couple of days too late. I was going to talk to Singers about buying it whole. Do you know someone there, or are their prices normally ok?
