Some time ago, me and Wren were going to look at a car or something and we saw the 242 sitting out in this field so we stop to look at it. It was a GT of all things, and it had no rust in the floors, just surface rust here and there where all the 242 get it. The car belonged to a friend of the field owner and when the car stopped working, the friend said fix if you can and when you can back in 2004. The owner really didn't want to sell it but if was going to sell it he wanted like $1000 or so for it so I told him when he decides to take $500 to give me a call. A few months later, the owner called and said come and get whenever.
After another few months and almost loosing out on this deal, I finely have it home.

The Plan

As I said before there is going, the GT stuff is coming off and to never be put back on this car. Here is a list of the things this car be getting:
-Group A front end
-B&G springs
-Bilsiten HD's
-25/28 sway bars
-seam wielding
-chassis bracing
-B230FT or B234FT
-leather interior
-most of the wiring redone
-Lizard Skinned
-3'' exhaust
-MS2
-T5 or TKO
-Aussie locker

I am sure there is a lot more that I will need to add but that's a lot already. I will keep the car the original color but no GT strips; probably be sold color. I am planning to get the car ready in time for SE 9 but the way things are going now, I don't even know when I will get started.
