(Posted on GMF as well) I've been around for a while, figured it's finally time to say Hi. I'm Jordan, from Manitoba, Canada. I was a member of TeamSwift years ago, when I had my first cars, both a red (parts) and blue MK2 Turbo, along with a very rough twin cam swapped 89. The red car got stripped, it was completely rotten. As for the blue car, it was driven for a short time, and I loved it.
It's a bit of a long story, but the car was in need of rockers and a patch on a rear quarter. Friend of a friend, bodyman, volunteered to repair. He got partway through, and disappeared, i believe due to personal issues. It's been rather difficult to find someone willing to tackle a half finished project, so that car is still waiting to be completed, stored in my shop in pieces.
As the years went on, i often missed driving these cars, and have kept an eye out for another to pop up. There's not much around here anymore, and anything left is completly rotted. In the meantime, i freshened up one of the spare T3's i've had sitting around.
Last year, my girlfriend decided she'd like to have a vert, so i passively kept an eye also. Enter this car:
It's an NA auto, with turbo aesthetics. It definitely needs some love, a couple floor patches are in order at the very least. Hopefully it's salvageable, i haven't had a chance to hardly look at it since scooping it up last summer. Moving and renovations have occupied nearly all my time up until now. I did, however, come across a yellow parts vert(MK3 dash), and a very well loved MK2 5 door, both for nearly nothing, so naturally i had to grab them.
I saw this one recently on Suzuki Swift Life Canada FB, spoke a bunch with the seller, and made a deal. It's on it's way here soon, hopefully see it by mid April. I'm beyond excited to finally have a clean, mostly original, running T3 again.
That's a pretty long winded intro, so I'll leave it at that for now.
