I think I've gone a little beyond trying to go back stock.

I'm sure I saw your car at the BBQ. There were a lot of FD's there so its hard to remember.

So, if you had the choice to buy one of these cars, what would you do:

1. a mint and pristine GSL-SE with very low miles

2. a GS with a 13BT and plenty of goodies, probably 225-250 hp at the flywheel, with a clean interior and an average repaint

Curious what the response will be here!

Keeping my '83 GSL totally stock. I have my '93 Base to play around with. I'd have to mod the hell out of the '83 to get it anywhere close to the FD's performance. My '83 is low mileage and just for tooling around in.

I will choose #1 cause it's all original.

#1 Because I like to know what I am starting with and then go from there with my own mods. I am working with a badly done example of version 2 right now. There is a lot of rework involved.

I'd choose #1 and keep it in a heated garage just to play with on weekends and sell someday in the future when its worth something.
