New guy sayin' hello!

Hello, my name is Adrian and I am hanging out here in Kansas City, Missouri. Just thought I would drop in and introduce myself.

I just picked up a 1985 turbo coupe (from bfe Iowa) that is going to need some work, and that might be an understatement. I am sure I will be spending some quality time here researching, upgrading and putting it back together, but I enjoy a good challenge.

I had an '86 turbo coupe many years ago and am looking forward to getting this one back on the road. Sure I will meet some of you soon and hope some of the questions don't come off sounding to stupid as I come up to speed.:D

I am originally from Iowa, But this car was in someplace like "bob's town, Iowa.....Population 3.......and she is expecting again" :D

I will get some pictures up soon, I just got it off the trailer last night and did an inspection to see what big parts were needed. So far a radiator and fuel pump.
