ive bought anther turbo cab from TM.

this is my second turbo cab.

I was wondering if any of you knows anything (history, faults, good, bad etc etc) about this car, as previous owner was selling the car on behalf and didnt know much.

correct me if im wrong :oops: but as far as i know there are only two turbo cabs in Auck, and I own both?
____________________________________________________________

now that i got 2, i dont know what to do with my white one,
I might sell it, and work on my new turbo cab??? :wink:

pics and mods are in my garage, check them out and make me an offer if you are keen.

second cab

Postby craybait » Sat May 30, 2009 11:09 am

Congrats looks great Keep both.my cab was this colour originally under its shitty respray,haven't seen a photo of the green colour before but it suits the car.I was in Japan in about 1986 and saw a pink cabriolet in Nikko a city about an hour from Tokyo and my wife thought it was really cute.Which is why I have not been evicted for buying a cab and a T2 supposedly for parts "I bought it for you Dear"
Can you check my post in for sale as I am short some cab roof clips and nobs

and i have decided to sell the white one.

taking some parts off this car [wheels, intercooler, P plate,, etc]

I will list the white car with better pics once all the work is complete. i say in about 2 or 3 weeks time? might even do 1 doller reserve??

hoping to just get only what ive spent on the car nothing more.
