back from the dark side
I just bought a 81 gs imperial gold needs paint and a little work nothing big no rust interior is in great shape she needed a fuel filter and the heater fan dosn't work but its nice it also came with another compleate project car plus a spair 12a and trany so now can change my 85 back to a rotory from a v-8 ( got it that way ) after paying 2k I came home to find out my neice wants to sell me her 85 gsl for $300 I couldn't pass that up so now we have 7's coming out ourS I still need to go to an auction to get T his parts car so that means from two 7's to six I think I've caught the rx bug pics to follow when I get my camara working ( find batteries)

this is strange the car runs grate but if I get stuck in trafic (IE) behind an idiot who won't do the speed limit she bogs down and acts like she wants to die I'll pull over shut her off wait 30 seconds and it starts right back up and drives fine untill someone else has me shifting from 3rd to 2nd and back again

well I have been working on the 85 GSL she runs really ruff after looking what my neice had done to the car she monkeyed around with the rats nest some of it has been disconected and pluged off some of it is still conected and the cat has been cut out so I'm going to have to do some research to figure out if I want to disconect the rats nest or hook it back up

going to pull and save this morning to look for parts went to pick and pull in airway heights yesterday they have more 7s there but they are closed due to the ground being to soft and some of their cars are sinking into the mud it sucks because I know they have all the parts I need
