I'd get all those trim pieces you're missing, maybe some 10 holes. I'd leave it in primer, makes it look like a beater

For $300 I could have a 8.8 with 3.55 gears, and a 5 lug swap

I don't know what mods you have ready (in sig your sig none really) don't know if you j/k or what.

I vote do the 8.8 swap w/ the 5 lug swap and more go parts. I love the all out sleeper thing.

I would go with limited slip. I wouldn't go 8.8 just extra weight. I did it and put a 7.5 back in. I agree I had 327 8.8 and went 345 with 7.5. The gear ratio agreed with the car. I would say. Good intercooler, good wheels. On wheels look at the 2005 Mustang stock mags. Seen pictures on a SVO. Nice looking and should be reasonable price. Would have to do 5 lug conversion. Just my idea's. Good luck and happy shopping Maurice

Ok new plan.

I found a low mile, auto 1987 turbo coupe that I'm going to look at tomorrow. Only 1 rust spot and it needs a good cleaning/paint... best part... $600 going to look tomorrow
