    First Turbo Mopar :)

    Hello Gents,

    Just wanted to share and give a shout out to member smkshow.

    This 1986 Omni GLH Turbo is now in my hands and smkshow is to thank for it being in such great condition.

    Lots of love was shown to this little hot rod and I hope to continue the path set down.

    Roads are still pretty c**p here in Edmonton, AB so a proper first drive will have to wait but both my daughter and I are pretty pumped about it.

    Let the fun and frustration of being a TM Owner begin !

    Thanks for the kind comments Gents

    smkshow did some mod's too, lowering springs from FM, performance computer, boost gauge and adjustable valve.

    A recent re-paint that included the wheels makes for one shiny & sweet piece of eye candy.

    I also come onto a large stash of Omni and Omni GLH parts, gonna know more on that once the snow clears up but there promises to be quite a few goodies in the lot.

    Really looking forward to the taking this lil' beastie out and reliving some High School memories.

    Looks great. I hope you can make it out to Red Deer for Turbos at the Pond in May so I can see it in person.

    That's the plan, got the date blocked off.

    Would be great to meet other Alberta Owners.

    Looks good!! Hopefully you will share where the L body parts stash is, mine is getting low.

    Thanks

    There is no logical reason to call an Engine a motor.

    Nope, a fellow member in Van smkshow was the previous owner.

    He really did a great job preserving her

    Re: First Turbo Mopar :)

    Is the girl in the photo smiling madly because:

    A. Knows that a GLH Turbo can humble most cars built from that time period?

    B. Just drove it without permission and learned torque steer via fleeing pedestrians?

    C. Told her friends this is a prom car in five years.

    D. Just ordered a compact disc player and subwoofer for it.

    E. Told her parents it's nice, but putting her allowance towards an Omni GLH-S.

    F. All of the above

    Regards, Gerry


    D.
