TR Brotherhood

[turbojimmy]

Here are some pics of my brother (DarkRed87T) and I with our Turbo Regals. There's also one of my son and I. You'll see that our hair is sticking straight up in a couple pics. It's not a fashion statement. It is VERY windy today.

Cool pics... I've always wanted to get a few pics of mine and my dad's car together like that but never got around to it.. After seeing this I think I'm gonna have to

Thanks all! It's great to look at those pics especially when you consider both cars are salvage cars. Mine is a recovered theft (was totaled), my brother's was abandoned by its owner (it was REALLY rough when he got it).

Cars look great! It'd be pretty cool if you had some before pics to post up.

Here's some....

This is my brother's car when he first got it. It actually doesn't look too bad in the pics, but it was rough. Both 1/4s had damage and rust-through and the clear was peeling all over the place. The interior was just plain nasty. It was left at a garage with a mechanical problem that seemed really bad but turned out to just be a bad turbo. The owner of the garage went through legal proceedings to take ownership of it when no one came back for it.

Mine was stolen in Maryland and recovered a month later but the damage was done. Thieves had smashed a T-top to get in it, busted open the column to start it, used screwdrivers on the dash to pry out the radio and tore the upper half of the back seat out to get at a CD changer in the trunk (why they didn't just push the trunk release button in the glovebox is beyond me).

Awesome! Its cool to see what the cars start out from. Those cars look like they were a bit of work. Some people would have parted them out. Good job!

Thanks, originally I was going to pick the driveline and heap the rest of the car but I had second thoughts about it. Even though it was a mess, It was still all together so I guess that's where I saw potential.
