Are you sure this is the same car silvertgp?  From the frontal view that shows the left side, it looks good.  And if this is the same car, you said it was slow- how so?  Like a normal TGP that has a bad crossover or hasn't been chip'd?  Please let me know asap! thanks! ;)

100% sure.  It was for sale locally for 2500 firm.  The paint match was not the best as i said, also they are not the original panels, "different bar codes". There is rust coming out of the top of the side panels, I did point this out to him( small but still there, who knows whats behind it). The miss probably is a  injector, also has tiny coolant leak top side of turbo.  Mufflers are rotted.  What steared me away was the tranny, guy said it was rebuilt at a body shop.  Didn't seem to drive right.  My advice is drive it befre bidding. Just a heads up.

Well, I bought it. :icon_biggrin:  And silvertgp- the paint has been fixed- there is NO rust.  The turbo doesn't leak coolant (turbo was just replaced).  Tranny seems fine (I just drove it 200 miles without any problems).  It DIDN'T seem to miss at all.  He did some maintenance between the time you test drove it and when I bought it (August 1st). ;)  So I'm happy; this TGP is in great shape. :icon_cool:

That's awesome man. I found it hard to believe that there was pictures of a clean car and then it was damaged. ;)
