Followed from the GTV6 forums..... gotta say I'm excited to see what happens with this car!

A very good friend found this Milano languishing in junk yard. Naturally, I had to save it.

1987 Milano Gold. Under the bonnet is a surprise

Meth injected supercharged 2.5L. Eaton M90 supercharger. Hydro-boost brakes.
Unfortunately, the motor is toast, but I do have a spare.
More to come on that later.
Cheers!

I love all of the info you guys are posting regarding this car. Especially the burnout pics! HAHA
Car was rediscovered in FL, and shipped to me in the dead of winter, through a snow storm.

Get that salt off
For some reason, the rear drivers side tire is on backwards

Unfortunately, the engine had no antifreeze in the coolant and it was frozen solid, even the expansion tank was completely full and frozen.

I'm in the process of relocating, so I had to immediately load it up for another road trip to my new locale.

Another good friend rented a garage at his apartment complex to serve as my temp shop while I transition. The car is not running, so I had to winch it on the trailer, then use the starter motor to back it off.

Apparently, the knuckleheads at the junkyard were intrigued by the car and were messing with it. They couldn't get it started so they poured raw fuel in the plenum and backfired the motor causing the timing belt to jump. I hoped there wasn't severe damage, so I began disassembling to verify timing.

Not sure what the extra holes are for, they were plugged when I got it.

I love the relocated oil fill cap, very nice work.

The bracketry for the supercharger, and belt tensioner are very nicely engineered. I have failed to provide pics, but will follow up on re-assembly.
Plenum hold down straps! For BOOOOST!

Smaller throttle body, not sure from what yet.

Timing checks out, everything looks polished and clean.

LUCKY!!! My junkyard Milano didnt come with a supercharger and a cool back story...
I hope it makes its way back to life as the story itself is soooo cool.
Good Luck with the Project!
