Awesome site! (newbie from s.w. iowa)

Hey all, just wanted to say that I am glad there are sites like this one out there! I have been looking everywhere for parts and such for my 90 RS. IT's got a blown up stock 305 tbi in it, had about 200,000 miles when I got ahold of her so it didnt have much left to go I guess! body is GREAT though! Really would like to get ahold of a drvier door though, that's the only thing really (other than engine!) that she needs! Mine looks like someone kicked it acouple times! Nice what some people do to their cars huh? Well I'm looking to get ahold of a 350 block and heads and bore it out .30 and make her a TPI 355. This is the smallest engine I have ever had so it HAS to go! Got an 81 Z with a 355 and I used to have a 88 Z with 5.7 tpi.
Let me know if there is anything going on in my area (omaha/council bluffs) or if you might have anything that I might be interested in!
will post pics soon of my car (in garage with engine tore apart!

if you look in the parts for sale area somebody is parting with the tpi for i think $175, but be weary, they have a tendency to run lean on the top end.

Sarah, if you guys are willing to bring a pick-up a few hrs into the Waterloo area, a freind of mine parts out 3rd and 4th gens, has a bunch of everything you could need and alot more you never thought you'd need LOL. Guys name is Curt, 319-404-7296 is his cell phone. He's a nice guy, just hard to talk to. Just tell him Josh told ya to give hime a shout and see if he has the items your looking for, which I'm sure he does. I know he was my best freind when I first got my 3rd gen yrs ago since anything I needed he had in stock in the garages, he does alot of business on ebay with the parts he's got.

nose to the grinding stone and you'll turn it around in no time

mine started out as a $500 beater from a freinds car lot


and then many tens of thousands later turned into this
