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...

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...
