Well, Here she is, even though she isn't running, yet:





Well, the right rear wheel won't move so, any suggestions? http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... 846#319846
And after that gets fixed, what else should I do to this car? It is a project car for me and my dad.

Remove the wheel and the brake caliper and see if you can turn the axle using a pry bar between the lugs. That should tell you if it was a seized caliper or wheel bearings.

Actually you'll probably know if it's a seized caliper when you can't get the caliper off lol.

Welcome to the BBS!! Where about in Spokane do you live? I live kinda by Northtown, and I am driving a Red 91 SS, the build thread is in my sig if you wanna see some pics. It looks stock because all of my money is dumped under the hood or in the interior for now. I have a nice set of wheels, but still need tires. Don't be afraid to wave if you see me!

What all is wrong with the car, or are you still working on figuring that out?

Well, I took the caliper off and didn't think of using a pry bar on it. I'll try that tomorrow.

I live on 5 mile.

Nice, what are your plans for the car?

Well, Get it running... Then rebuild the engine and transmission. I will probably get a new turbo, intercooler and ECU. Probably will do a little more to the engine once I figure out what there is to do to it.

Is this the one off craigslist that was like $600, with a blown head gasket?

OFF TOPIC

damn i wish i was in the states with all the (turbo)legacies! your prices are amazing, and looks like its very easy to get a hold on one in good shape.

on the web here in norway, all i can find is a rusty old turbo 91 for about 6 595,44 USD (40.000 NOK).

6 595,44 USD ....damn thats pricey

Yeah, it looks better now, I've replaced both door handles now, so it looks better. I also completely cleaned out the interior. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Sexy sexy sexy! Takes me back to the day I bought Angel.

1) read Legacycentral.... LOTS of Good people with skills, knowledge and experience here!

2) safety and reliability. Make sure your tires/breaks/suspension are all in good worling order. refresh all the engine fluids. Id de-yellow your headlights (quick, easy, cheap)

3) cosmetics. Make her look like the car you want her to be, also get less "negative attention" from Police.... oh, and other people too.

4) efficiency. cleaning up your intake and exhaust not only show immediate marked improvements but you will also get full benefit of later mods

5) start moding! as Nike says. Power is nothing without control so *I* recommend starting with suspension and light mods. I know Everyone wants the HP numbers but if you don't set up for it you'll accelerate/handle like a v-6 Accord.

You might check out "rise of an Angel" in the pictures and medea thread. Kinda shows the progress of my car over the last three years. and on that note. check out the "Build Journal" thread to see what others have done!

Best of luck!
