Well guys i just picked up the newest member to my family, an 84 gsl-se. its not running yet im workin on it but ill keep yall posted when i get it running!

Awesome! My 85 se had the same floppy antenna. And then the floppy part broke off. Looks much better now, and still get reception. Sweet Car.

 

The car could use a little TLC, but it's absolutely complete. Nice score. So what are your problems getting it going?

 

Mmmm I like!

Let me know if you need help or anything!

 

well it had alot of vacuum lines cracking so i replaced them and also i replaced the fuel injector o-rings, the only other thing i can see wrong is the connectors on the wiring harness for the injectors crumpled when i took them off so im replacing them today.

Its got spark and its got fuel to the fuel rail. the car would run for as long as i could hold some starting fluid going into the intake but thats it so it leads me to believe its a fuel issue...we will see though tomorrow after i get the connectors on. it could just be the old gas in it who knows???

 

Great find bro.

 

nice! buff that thing out and paint the window mouldings and it'll be like new

 

UPDATE: put the new Injector connectors on and tried to start....nothing! So I tear it all back apart and pull the injectors out and turn it over with the injectors out of the holes and only one of them just barely spray a mist out....so now i got to send them off to get cleaned and find some way to get the whole half of a tank of old gas out of it...(i really, really, really dont wanna pull the tank out in my apartment complex parking lot)...

 

Tires are shot. Don't let yourself drive on old tires.

 

Ya know, the EXACT same thing happened to me. Were those antenna factory options? Most first gens I see have the retractable ones.

 

ya i know, they wont hold air but for an hour or so....anyone got any tires they wanna donate???

 

Damn Kory I had a set of old Bridgestone 205-60/13 RE71 tires that I just took to the recyclers on Monday. They were old but good tires still.

 

That's gonna be a fine ride once you're done with it. Congrats!

 

Dang tim! just shows you should be on here more often!!!!


Thanks! I hopefully can get it running soon, i am taking the injectors to school tomorrow to put on our injector tester to see how they are spraying. I let them sit in seafoam all night last night and this morning the seafoam was starting to change colors so i think it got something out

 

Just remember that the 84-85s have a drain plug in the bottom of the gas tank.

 

Haha ya i know, i just gotta find somethin to put the old gas in

 

Well guys, a few weeks ago was a sad day....








Got the car to my grandmas house and started tearing it apart

 

=[ atleast you've got the SA to fill the void for now =[. glad you're ok

 

damn thats sad! it almost brings a tear to my eye. At least youre ok! remember.....as much as we love our cars, its JUST a car.

 

ya...it tore me up, the second time i saw it when it was at my grandma's house it was even worse, but i have found me another shell for pretty cheap so I am going to swap everything over and have another more serious project.

 

Well guys I finally picked up another car to fill the emptiness now!!! and the best part.....


I Have TWINS!!!!














I havent got it running yet but i hope to soon, what yall think about a carbed 13b swap???

 

Sweetness Kory. I'm glad you got that SA from Robby. If your wanting to go the route of the SE engine, what's your plans for the 12A that's in the SA? We should talk. If it was me, I would swap over the entire fuel injection and wiring from the SE. Just my opinion. I likes me some fuel injection

 

"Thhh Thhh TWW IINS BASIL!"

Awsome!

 

I considered it...I just dont know what to do as far as mounting the wiring and everything...plus an SA with fuel injection...just dont seem right :P
