First time seeing sunlight in 12+ years

Hey guys,

So after a quite a while of trying to remember my username and password for this site.... IM BACK, after 12 years. About 12-13 years ago I locked up the motor on my 86 Recaro T/A. The teardown is starting this weekend and hopefully the new motor goes in within a month or so. Below are some pictures of when it finally came out of hibernation after so many years and quick wipedown with quick detailer. She still cleans up real nice. It does have a couple issues to be worked out but im so excited to be back in my 3rd gen. Ive owned a 4th gen and now a 5th gen but my love for this 3rd gen never dimmed. Ill keep you guys updated as she gets some love.

-Adam

Thanks! I love this thing and im so excited to see it out in the sun again. I have to pace myself because in my head im already buying and modifying when just getting it running again is the priority lol. I just went thru the build thread of your car and I can only hope to come close to the level you are at. well done sir
