Figured I would start a thread to document the very slow process of my attempt to restore my T94.
Some back story
I picked this car up a few months back rather impulsively. It was listed for sale near my house, and I can never turn down something interesting. I inquired about it about 4 hours after it was listed, and the seller told me it was already on hold. I thanked him an said that if any thing changed to give me a call. Later that night he texted me that the original buyer had fell through and that he would be showing the car at 8am the next day. The following morning I got off work, grabbed some cash, and headed to the local Family fun center where it was being sold from. Without knowing any details, I told him I would take it and we started getting all the pieces together.
I had assumed the car was just a standard display roller, and my original plan was that I would just clean it up and put it on a wall or something one day when I move to a larger house. Then he started pulling out more and more parts for it. It still had front brakes, both radiators, most of the oil and coolant tanks, a complete transmission, and a volvo full of other random bits and pieces. Score! I still didn't have a set plan for the car, but it was too cool to pass up.
I AAA'd it home and managed to somehow fit it in my tiny garage. Since then I have just tinkered with it a few times, but have also been trying to order every part I could find on the internet that I dont have or that might fit. The sidepods were in rough shape, the front wing was broken in half, and absolutely everything else needs addressing.
I still don't have an exact plan for the car. Ideally I would like to get it running in some capacity, but If all that ever becomes of it is being a pretty display car, then so be it. As you can imagine, the most costly part is getting a replacement Cosworth XB for it. In the meantime I want to find a display motor or something for it to mock everything up, and see what comes up later on.
