The Newest Member of the Family 85 GSL-SE
It's been 20 years since i have owned a FB...I've been wanting a GSL-SE for a few years...i finally picked it up a 85 today. The stack of records that came with the car is incredible...every record dating back to 1990...The car had a complete restoration back in 1997/1998. The interior is in immaculate condition with several custom features.
The exterior isn't perfect but pretty good for being 26 years old.
I have to take care of the wondering steering wheel issue and it stalls when i am decelerating. Once i get those 2 issues taken care of she will get a new set of wheels/tires (16X7 with 215/45/16's) and a new paint job to match the 7Beast. I will probably upgrade the brakes.
The engine bay needs a little cleaning and perhaps a little bling

Check the air filter box for that may solve your deceleration problem. Same thing was happening on my 84 5 letter and it turned out the rubber around the filter was melting due to all the heat these cars throw off and was making the "flapper door" at the MAF stick.
BTW - Nice looking car....welcome to all the headaches the GSLSE brings ! ;-)

I know this car, older man tried to sell it to me on two seperate occasions when I worked at Methodist Richardson. He said it was his sons and iirc he was in the army and didn't want it anymore. Both time I saw it, it idled extremely high. Still do that? He wanted like 3500 for it including the audio crap that I didnt want but he wouldn't take it out. Good luck with it, glad it made it into the hands of a fellow 7 enthusiast
