Well sadly... I could never get it titled and to make things worse when I took it out for a spin I discovered it had a blown rear rotor. It started, drove and idled great in the yard and driveway, but had 0 power and struggled to reach 60 MPH on my test drive. It had to be used for parts, but it went to a good cause. My old worn out interior in my GXL was replaced with the interior out of the sport. It cleaned up very nicely I was able to salvage the sport aero package and put it on the GXL. I swapped the manual windows onto the GXL. I then used a few parts off of it to rebuild an old 88 T2 with a title. I then traded the 88 T2 for my 79 SA. i have no plans of ever getting rid of the 79 SA. Shes a beaut!
The sport is sitting at my parents house as a rolling chasis. I'm using it to hold parts. I was bummed I couldn't get it titled... but at least it wasn't crushed or wasted. I may build it for a track only car someday... I have a spare motor sitting in the garage.
