nearing the end of a 2 year project, i took her on the road for the first time! things went pretty well for the most part. on the 2nd trip, the supercharger oil feed line came off and i had a small fire, lots of smoke, and left 5 quarts of oil spread down a 1/8 mile streach of road. also need a 2nd muffler sometime soon. but all in all, im happy with it! now to paint and install the bumpers, hood, lights, bolt down the seats, and work out the gremlins. thanks everyone who helped along the way! 84stock for the tuning tips... and especially the Codeblues (don't have enough space to list the help i've gotten from you guys)!!!!!!





the setup:
82 gs body, 84 -se suspention, rear end, drivetrain, interior
MSR wheels, SUBI Diamond grey metallic paint
RB lowering springs
13b 1/2 bridgeport
camden 7"
holley 650 double pumper
2nd gen DFIS
holley fuel pump

will try to post vids tomorrow

 

Congratulations!

 

very nice. love that supercharger it bet she sounds nice. i am hoping one day to get one for my 12A. what rims are on the back?

 

the rims are MSR style 68.

 

how does it idle? i'd love to see a video of it was it a turbo2 engine?

 

Yep I'm Happy for ya Greg.
Yeah its hard to believe that after two years and a lot of work , it drives under it own power.
you name it and we have done it to this car. we even put the 84 dash in a 82. We still have a ton of work to finish the car. But it sure is nice to see it all come together.

Its still hard to believe that it went from this to that.

 

Wow, nice to see a fellow camden owner on board!

 

The old rusted out body

 

ok .......waiting for the Video.

 

its 315 MB, so i couldn't upload it to photobucket. im uploading to streetfire.net, but it is going SLOWWWWW as shittttt. should be done in about an hour or so, but im heading to bed so i'll link it tomorrow. or search for old_skool84, it'll be the only vid by that user name. but damn it sounds good!

 

While looking for your vid i came across this

Excellent. It's very satisfying whe a major long term project finally reaches the start/run phase. Keep up the good worl, you're nearly there.

 

sounds like sex. love your door panels

 

Man, I can tell you are excited! I don't blame you. Car looks and sounds awsome. I can't wait to see it finished.

 

are you premixing??

 

you are very correct kind sir

i wish my sex sounded that good! thanks about the doors, they weree an alcohol induced idea/execution. lol

yes i am

 

do you have pics of your door panels because i would like to remake mine somthing like that but blue

 

i'll take some pics of them for you tomorrow. i used thick cardboard for the red inserts and the the stock panels for the black. got some spray adhesive, and went to town.

2 things

- felt was not a good idea. im not sure what i was thinking. use a quality cloth or perferated leather look material.

- being drunk when you do it is also not a good idea. quality of work goes way down in that situation...

 

here ya go man

 

Greg, Glad to see that your car is finally coming along. Of course it will never be done, but sure is nice to see it closer for you to drive it on out of my driveway lol.

You can be very proud of yourself for completing such a project, of course help from CODEBLUE too. Don't forget to tighten all your bolts and check them all the time. Please no more fires

Good job

 

thanks for the pics

 

The door panels don't do it for me, but i love the seats.

 

Man I wish I had a s/c, is that a 12a?

brap brap

 

its a 1/2 bridge 13b
