First I will list what the previous owner did to the car and then what I did to it.

I think that just about covers it. I have a lot of pictures so please feel free to ask. I do have a lot of receipts from the previous owner,he was not too terribly organized, and all receipts since I've owned it.
I would like to sell it to somebody close. I cannot deliver much farther than a 300 mile radius of Houston.

Sorry, I've been away from my computer.

When I bought it it had some leak issues. I replaced the rear main seal, oil pan gasket with a cork gasket. the end seals on the intake were leaking so I replaced the intake gasket with a GM valley pan type gasket. I also replaced the PCV with a turbo specific AC Delco part. For insurance I added a Kirban drivers side breather vent....
 
Where did you find the new underhood insulator???? I am located in Houston also????
 
What kind of times have you got out of the car?

I live in houston and i have an 85 T-Type blue on blue. Would you be interested in the car and some money for yours?

I've never raced the car. Pretty much all the speed parts were added by the previous owner.

Sorry but I'm not taking any trades. Business kind of sucks and I just can't support the habit, I need the cash. Thanks for looking and forward this to someone who may be in the market.
 
I am interested, I love the color and the fact that it has t-tops...I have family in houston also. School ends in a week and a half (I am graduating college) so I'll be in touch friday the 12th of may if you still have it available.
