Hey everyone,
I just picked up an 85 GSL in better than expected conditions. The car was advertised as non-running, but once I got it home, we got it to start, but it wouldn't idle. Upon further inspection, I noticed the spark plug wires were all out of sequence and the distributor was lose. I corrected all that, bought new plugs and battery and she started right up and kept idle. Next day I put freon in the system and yes, the a/c works!!! The interior is in great condition, no dash cracks and all panels are there, even the stock radio works.

The bad: Needs paint job, front left fender will be replaced and a small rust hole under the rear glass, about a dime size hole. All this will be fixed soon!!

The idea behind buying the car was to swap in a 20b, but since it's running i'm not leaning towards running it until the engine dies or I get everything for the swap. I already have the engine.

Another option will be to drop in a 13b from a 95 Rx7(JDM) that I also have, which will be a lot easier since I have a Power FC for it, so it'll be less spending if I go this route.

I used to own an FD, but sold it due to me moving back to the US and now have this to work with, but don't know much about it, so I'll be reading a lot to make this great car worthy of the streets once again. I'll be making a build thread as well.

Any suggestions about the car would be greatly appreciate it.
