    WTB: Protege 4wd

    im looking for another 4wd protege for my g/f.. im loooking in the eastern USA area.. will fly to you if the car will make it back to CT... if the car wont drive back to ct i would like it atleast in the North East so i can toe it and work on it..
    let me know what you guys have... apparently they are all on the west cost for some reason

    The ones on the east coast all rusted away to nothing, see Jasoncsprotege's build thread...ye gods, it scares me still, rust holes all the way through the rotors...
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

            I think he's talking about Brandon's car.

            Jeff, I'm getting my motor back and buying the turbo / radiator / intercooler for my wagon, then the car is getting parted out I believe.

                I thought you didn't want to buy it because it had a wiring issue...

                  wiring issue? what did he do to it? lol

                  you should be able to drop in a motor/harness/etc from whatever and get it running again.

                  that sucks that he wants to trash such a rare car just to get the rear hubs

                      i have a high mileage BP out of that green parts EGT that i had a while ago. it ran ok but definitely needs to be regasketed etc. this is the greasy motherfkr that can be seen in my build thread during the trans mount fabrication process.

                      it could be all yours for the price of cheap

                        ahh... yes i was thinking of brandon's 4wd/ jons old 4wd, i was talking to him at one point about buying it complete but he was saying something about giving the engine back to a friend.

                          HE didn't do anything, and he's not trashing it just to get the rear hubs.

                            eather way... matts motor is getting pulled and im buying it motor less.. he was going to part the car so in some scence he was going to trash a perfectly good car.. but hes not.. and im getting it

                            its going to be my g/f's car so i would rather have a low milage motor and just swap it in.. or swap my motor and tranny into brandons (jons)and use brandons (my) gtx tranny into my car with a bp...
                            decisions decisions.. she doesent need it.. but i do :D
