My 89 turbo Mini

[turbo84voyager]

I finially got a few pictures of my 89 ES which is my daily driver. I picked up the van for $65 a 4 years ago, replaced a bad hall effect, gave it a good cleaning and ran it until it poped the head gasket 2 years ago. It had 160K on it so I pulled the engine and trans and installed another engine I was building and rebuilt the trans. The new engine is a 2.5 rwd comon block ( no balance shafts), 85 G-head with new exhaust valves and valves back cut, T2 rods, ARP fasteners, Wiseco Pistons, roller cam, TU SS header, T3/T4 46 trim Hybrid, dual exhaust, 40+ injectors, AFPR, Volvo cooler, 255 LPH pump, and custom cal. I also upgraded the brakes by switching to the larger bolt pattern. Since I am planning on spraying the van this spring I sprayed the engine compartment while the engine was out. I am painting the van Ford Dark Lapis blue with a few more grams of pearl. I will spray the bottom silver just like it is now. The only changes I made to the interior was a few more gauges and a new stereo.








Sorry, the engine compartment is a mess..

Very clean van! I'm still kicking myself for not getting one of them when I had the chance...but I do have more money in my pocket now.

They arent accel wires. They are KEM replacement wires. I have them on all 3 turbo cars and have not had any problems with them.

Very Nice ES! The black and grey colour combo is really nice on those vans. I'm sure the blue will look just as good though.

KEM too, just regular carbon core,

The van looks pretty good. That subaru looks decent too.. that yours?

The subrau is my fiance's car. I sprayed it last fall and threw a set of chrome PT cruiser wheels on it. It looks great with the PT cruiser wheels. A few days before christmas someone clipped the quarter in a parking lot. Naturially they didnt leave a note or anything. Luckilly they just scuffed the paint and didnt dent it at all. As soon as the weather breaks I will spray the quarter.

Aholes like that should be beaten and shot,
