i think there is some other stuff, but i cant quite remember all of them now...

all of this work i have done myself, i have also swapped in another engine as well as 2 trannys. this car has never been to the shop to have any work done on it. the only place i go to is Martin's Garage, which is a garage at my friends house, with normal hand tools and such.

This 88 GTU is daily driven, and makes frequent passes on the mountains, usually 4 times a week, as far as battle damage goes there is a perfect formation of the gaurdrail on the rear driver quarter pannel. how it happened; Martin and i went black Ice drifting on the mountain. damage on the font fender, hitting the gaurdrail, then hitting the rear of martins car. also from martin hitting me at drift day 21. the front bumper is from many things; hitting martin at a bunch of stop lights, pushing an MK3 supra to a shell station after he hit the mountain wall, pushing an AE86 to a shell station after his car died, and many other things

the Tow Hitch has been used to Help an FD that was stuck, pull martin from the mountain to his garage, approx 20 miles, also it saved my car's life at dd21; on the dirty course i had a steep angle and was holding it really well, but the dirt caught me and i just kept sliding, hitting the concrete imbankment all it did was bend my muffler (picture below).

and now for the pictures
