Since about august 2010! Wow sucks to think about how long its been sitting. Bought the car in BC in 2009, was sitting at a dealer for about a year before that. Started driving the 2 days home to Winnipeg, got just passed calgary when my turbo started squeeling like it was being attacked by a lonely hillbilly. Turned out the engine seals had dried out and I had dumped all the oil on the highway. Got oil in it in time to save the engine but the turbo was fried. Got it home, bought a used turbo which blew its seals a month later (would have been great to smoke screen the cops with
) got another used turbo only to dicover it had bent fins so didn't boost as much as it should, but started autoxing it anway in the summer of 2010. I guess running low on oil hurt the motor after all cus it starting knocking then died at the very first autox I had brand new tires on it. Been waiting for a new motor since.
But there is hope on the horizon cus I am buying another 88 which is running but needs body work, should get that done to drive it this summer then the restoration of the original can begin and I should have two running 88s by next spring!
