parts car dream - 740 for $50CAN 700

posted by  someone claiming to be daylan on  Mon Feb 2 01:42 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I just grabbed an '87 760 Turbo parts car from a friend for the cost of the tow (it runs if it has a good battery, just a bit rusty and interior is a bit damaged). I drive an '87 740 Turbo in great shape. My wife is not keen on keeping the car on blocks in the drive for long. Once spring comes along I am going to strip the car of things that I think I could need at some point to keep my 740 going (it has 230,000km).

I have some ideas of what to keep in order to do cheap fixes.
- turbo
- afm
- alternator
- water pump
- a/c compressor
- rad
- all of the relays
- window switches
- extra set of alloys for the winters


Can anyone with older 740 experience suggest some common problems and the parts that I should grab while I can?

Any suggestions would help.

Cheers
