New Project
 

Well I decided to get rid of a Ranger I had picked up as a project as well as some of my other stuff that was laying around and picked up an 84 SVO. The paint is pretty tired and it needs some tlc but that's what a project car is supposed to be I guess.

Looks cool, good luck and will be looking forward to the build thread!

Nice score, I like those cars !! :tup

Love it!

I had an 84 V6...Academy Blue and Black. Should never have sold it...but families and kids come along etc.

Sweet score.Should be fun a fun project.:tup

How abouts some details ie mileage inside shape etc lol

It has 165,000 ish km's, the paint is pretty faded and a few marker lights are out, some rust on the rh rear 1/4. Interior is pretty decent but needs a good scrub. It has the original shift knob and steering wheel that aren't all beat to hell which is nice. My first plans after the cleanup and repairs are done are to find a front mount intercooler, computer, injectors from a turbocoupe for it. Then I'll get a manual boost controller and fuel pressure regulator and dial up the boost. I'll also pick up a 3" down pipe and do something with the exhasut. From there we will see what happens. I also have to get this all by my wife which is the difficult part.

tehehehe the wife part. Will the car have to be repainted or is it salvageable?

Can't even remember the last time I saw one of those SVO products, but I remember when they came out. Cool project.

I'm going to hit it with a polisher and get it as good as possible but the paint is pretty far gone. I don't think I will get to the point of painting it, just looking at something to tinker with but we will see what happens.

SVO's are way cool...

How is the rear spoiler...is it there and in good shape? I hear there are issues with them as they get old...

It's not bad but 1 screw is pulled through

Maybe turn it into a track car, just a thought

That would be cool!Those 4 bangers can go a long way!

That would be great except there is no track near here. Would make a great autocross car though.

Not a bad plan-good luck
