I was a huge TD nut years ago, having built several Daytonas, a turbo mini, and a few Lebarons. I've also had a couple RT cars I left stock.
I moved on to other things for years, but suddenly find myself thrust back into K-base territory, thanks to an inherited Omni.
So, the story of the car: My grandmother had a GLHS, and couldn't handle the clutch anymore. She had never bought a brand new car on her own (grandfather passed prior to this). She sold the GLHS and traded in the Diplomat on a brand new '88 Omni automatic, non turbo.
The car was garage kept, and rarely driven (only 88k miles on it). Then, her health declined and she quit driving. It sat in her garage for years.
My grandmother has always been my rock. She was more or less my mom. For years, she told me to take the thing and fix it up for my kids. Well, she passed last year just before Christmas, and the car finally came home today with the help of my father in law.
Its rough, but not bad. I promised her I would do something it, so the project begins. I may drivetrain swap it, I may not. not sure yet.
