My name is Mike. I live on the NW side of San Antonio near Sea World. I've owned my 1985 GTS since 2004. The car had been abused beyond belief and I spent the next 5 years repairing it and keeping it running. When then engine blew it had 250,XXX miles on it. In 2005 I bought a clean bodied hatch from the junkyard. In total I spent 600 for both GTS hatches. In parts I've spent about 8 times that much so far with much more to go.

The 1985 car I've been driving. The damage on the passanger side is from a tree the previous owner decided to hi-five.

The 1986 GTS I pulled from the junk yard.

Just some of the photos I have in my library.

What kinda headers are those??????????????

The headers are TRD Gen-2. I bought them in 2004 pretty much right after I bought the car. It had a cast manifold on it, but the cracks were filled with horrendous blob welds that never sealed the cracks. I think I bought it for $360 at the time.
