Our current project car...
The 92LX body you see came with a 4 banger. We dumped the V4 and swapped in a V8 from an 84 McClaren Capri that had only 50K miles on it. A/C and emissions we completely stripped from the engine bay. We retained the tranny from the Capri. Added new 4 barrel carb, new distributer and coil packs. Just last weekend we dropped the fuel tank to remove the fuel pump. Been about a year since we started the project.
My uncle is the true gearhead and is the one that does most of the work. My brother and I assist him in his direction. I dont know much about being a mechanic and havent really done anything aside from oil changes and tune-ups. It's truly an honor to work alongside him. I learn new things all the time. The best thing is I dont have to pay a shop for repairs.. I just call Uncle P! :thumbup
Hope you enjoy the pics and my short story. This is a sneak preview into Schaefer Racing (our last name btw).
