I'm in the final stages of restoration on an '86 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z with T-tops, C/S package, leather seats, power seats and windows etc. I have two Daytona. The first however is a standard model which I got in '85 when it was new. It now has nearly 300,000 miles on it. It's not 'remarkable' other than it's rare. Not many of these have survived.

The '86 Turbo Z on the other hand is a different story. It is not only rare but is gradually becoming collectible. I'm now working on the paint which is why I'm here. I've painted before but the Turbo Z is Black and Gold. Gold detailing and black main color. Since I've done all the work myself there are still some minor imperfections which I want to deal with. So, I'll post some questions in the (I hope they will be the) proper forums.

Pictures have been posted in a gallery on another site so if any is interested in looking at the process/progress just let me know and I'll be sure to send you the link.

Thanks to all for the welcome.

Here are some pictures in a gallery of the entire process so far. What do you think?

lower it!

sorry wrong forum, welcome! car looks great. Where abouts in FL are you located?
 
Lower it? You mean the car? That's another topic for another forum/site.

I'm in Tallahassee.
 
I remember the show Hunter ... DeeDee (his partner) use to drive a metallic one. Loved that car. Welcome !
 
Welcome. Turbo size and dyno numbers?

The engine is a 2.2 with custom head work. The turbo is a Garrett TO3. No dyno numbers as the engine isn't broken in yet. I'm still in the process of tweaking etc.

I'm not sure I'll dyno it. I'm very happy with the low end performance and I've not yet had it on the highway enough to feel the midrange or high end performance. No racing for this car. While it'll not be a trailer queen it is a show car. It'll see no street action other than to and from events.
