Welcome, This page will be dedicated to documenting the success and failures of upgrading, repairing, restoration, and performance additions to my $750 beater car.


The Car......... 1985 SHELBY Charger
The Engine ..... 2.2L Turbo
The Problem .... Neglect





The Beginning

I found the car sitting on a small privately owned car lot, with the nice price tag of $1500 on the front windshield. The car started and drove, but had many noticeable problems. The Struts were like a trampoline, the engine had a extremely bad idle, The front tires had been shredded into a set of slicks, and the front brakes and rotors might as well have not even been on the car because they were history. To top this all off, the wiring harness was hacked more than microsoft. Anyway, I wanted the car, probably because I used to have an 87 Shelby Daytona Z which was a joy to drive, so after some careful negotiation (and using my superior wisdom on the car salesman, I drove away with my new beater car.
