Personally I would build me a nice FC.
A house, thats sounds o.k too. Usually id say throw the loot in the market and let it earn for a while but, it is way to unstable for that now. If not a nice down payment on a house, I think id sit on it a while. As far as a choice between the two, sleeper turbo fc ragtop sounds like a winner to me[/quote]
Yeah, I have a soft spot for fast convertibles.
Hey Ace, didnt you have a blue one, turboed, W/ 18's?
I just(turbo) wanna finish(turbo) my car so I(turbo) can do another one.
Something that is...hmmmm. Turbo!
Yup, blueish/purple with 18's, 275's out back, ported 13BT, T-78, Wolf 3D running 4 1600's, etc.
Is the ragtop coming back, or is it r.i.p.?[/quote]
Well, my first priority is to get the new turbo/motor/ECU setup onto the 91 coupe. Then what I'll probably do is send the NA motor back home. when I have a vacation I'll put that into the convertible. I promised my mom that I would get that car running again with A/C, quiet exhaust, etc. so that everyone else at home could use it.
I got my manifold and turbo back yesterday. So I'm on my way. I figure that I'll have more time to work on things in December, but I may start earlier.[/quote]
Ahh, I see. I hope the project goes smoothly. Ive notice you dont post many pics, it would be nice to see when you are finished, if you have the means.

Boat is in 100 pieces, when you fix boats all day, everyday, the last thing you want to do is work on another boat! That new Chrysler 413 sitting on the engine stand with its close to 500 horsepower waiting to go in sure is temting though! I really only need 2-3 weeks of working on it after work to get it going
