[SOLD] 89 XR 5 speed with extras and upgrades $2000

Post by gimpstang »

Its time to let go of my project car. Its been untouched since 2013 and i don't forsee me getting back into it anytime soon. It is very much a project right now and will need to be trailered. I was mid upgrade for the brakes and rear suspension so it rolls but doesn't drive. Ran when parked before it took it apart. etc.

Pros:

-1989 merkur XR4Ti

-Gutted upper intake, knife edged lower intake

-Ported E6 exhaust manifold

-stock head and bottom end

-T3/T4 turbo

-FMIC

-LA3 computer from a TurboCoupe

-Large VAM modified for blowthrough

-RFL BOV

-3" downpipe and exhaust into turndown

-PBR mustang front brake upgrade

-rear disk brake upgrade

-Hawk HP+ pads

-New Master Cylinder

-Water temp, oil temp, boost gauges

-Spares: rear diff, rear beam support, NIB front control arms, rear control arms sanded and painted, IHI turbo 5 sets of wheels (3 fit brake upgrade, 2 do not)



Cons:

- gutted interior (planned for a cage) I have most of the interior

-dent in R front quarterpanel

Hawaii?
I'd be interested to see more photos if you have, and what else it needs to run.

Sounds fair for solid 89 5 speed. Good luck with the sale.

Oops! Sorry. Forgot the location. I’m in Greenville, SC. And to run it just need some going over, brakes bled and battery charged. To daily drive it would need the interior put back in. I’ll get some more photos Saturday
