I've posted pics of this car on here before, but this is the first time I've ever done a legit photoshoot on it. The car was purchased for a whopping $300, and was entirely built using junkyard parts. A stock 2.3L "redblock" with only forged rods and a factory Volvo twin-cam 16v head bolted to it. A $150 chinabay 57 trim T3 turbo, MegaSquirt EMS, Turbo II RX-7 front brakes, Factory Volvo LSD, Custom coil-over setup, Borg Warner T5 manual transmission out of a Mustang, and lots of other one-off oddball parts put this beast together. It makes 400whp on E85, and has run a best of 11.6 in the 1/4 at nearly 120mph. Truly an awesome ride. Here are the photos, enjoy!

I love the beater car look on the outside and the very clean look on the engine bay. Love the car!

That gauge cluster is extremely rare. Only sold on European 240 GT models in the late 70's/early 80's.

He's already rebuilt it once. He has a real Garrett T3/T4 sitting on his shelf for it, but he wants to get as much out of the cheapy turbo that he can.
