One of the better wrecking yard finds

I was out at the wrecking yard last week and saw a white 83 with fresh paint. I didnt pay much attention but when I was walking back through I noticed the studs in place of the normal lugs on the front wheels. When I popped the hood I got a little when I saw the camber plates and 5way adjustables. Then looked inside the wheel well and could see the Ground Control Systems front coil overs. All in all I got everything in the pics including the sway bars for just under $200, could of been less but I didnt want to hassle with the front rotors.

Good Deal?????

The car is located at the Henderson NV Pick N Pull. Not much left, it does have the GSL rear and braided brake lines though. It had the 12a stripped to the block with the emissions blocked off. On another note, the tow yard on the other side of the fence has a black 80 LE just sitting. It seemed pretty clean with the exception the driver fender being messed up. Someone might want to stop by and see what it can be picked up for, I already have too many projects.

I've been looking for a score like that for a while too. Haven't come up with much though. You gonna use the front suspension or sell it?
