i baught a 1985 Z31 turbo a while back and ended up selling it because it was too bif of a project car. now i see a 1989 turbo that says it has been garaged and is in great shape, just needs a new turbo. i am really thinking about buying it and replacing the turbo. You guys think it would be worth it?

could be a decent deal....chances are if it needs a turbo it will need more than just that though.

Well, see how much they want for it. You still might have a deal even if you have to fix it up.
