Unhappy The Dream Is Over Part Ii

Well a very nice guy from GA picked up the 85GSL, It was a bitter sweet goodbye, i feel like i just gave up one of my children but at least the wife is off my back... I have 2 more 1st gen's to get rid of and then she'll leave me alone....here's a goodbye shot......good bye car...goodbye dreams...



If anyone is interested in a 85gs with a good body but no motor let me know... letting it go cheap. also an 81 rx-7 in terrible shape but has a good tranny and driveshaft and disk rear. email me importmods@aol.com

probably wouldn't be a good idea to drive it without a license plate. Also, why tow it backwards?

It still puts excess wear on the rear wheel bearings... I'd rather replace the fronts...

I took the shaft out for him...He really only bought the car for the motor tranny driveshaft carb intake and turbo......He's putting it all in a triumph spitfire.. If anyone want's the body it'll be availible at the end of the week he'll give it to you really cheap i bet...it has a title. Anyways i'll still be in the 1st gen game for life, that was just a project i never was going to be able to finnish...
