Well, I guess Im in the game now. I just picked up a free 88 TC from Jon Moller. Its my first Turbocoupe and I am eager to learn about these cars. Yeah, I felt kinda dumb asking him whats this(pointing to the ABS module) but oh well. He seemed concerned of the cars fate and thats cool. This car has fallen into GOOD hands. It will become my daily driver once I get the head/whateverelseiswrong taken care of. (I probally wont feel much like driving the Ranger after driving this car) [Image: biggrin.gif]
Heres a pic. --->
There was a strange occurance with A/C refrigerant bottles all over the inside and one shot right into the windshield.

I knew it was either that or some kind or premature event [Image: biggrin.gif]

Congrats on the new bird. At that price, I'll take 2. If the paint does not come up after a good wash, you may want to buff it out with some light polishing compound. That usually brings back the shine if theres any left.
