i've been on this forum for a bit, so now that i actually have a camera i can post pics. this is my 83 gsl, 190000km, 120000miles, has 84 gsl doorcovers cause the originals were screwed
enjoy

 

nice car, really clean. u planing any mods for it?

 

gonna put cai, eventually headers, exhaust, stiffer springs, and swaybars, thats a way off though, it needs rust work, and i'm broke at the moment

 

It looks great! Where's the rust?

 

Great pics of the car...........but where are the pics of the camera?

 

Looks clean.

 

Nice clean lookin car!

 

its rustin out in the bins, the bottom of back right fender behind the tire, and under right/left front fenders, nothing real bad yet, i sanded it all down and redid it (except bins), but i'm guessing that'll be just a temporary fix.

 

Make sure that you grind/sand the metal to a point beyond where the rust actually was. Otherwise, it will return rather quickly. Two to three centimeters into clean, unaffected rust is a good approach. What are you using to recoat the metal?

 

yeah, i sanded down bout an inch and a half around the affected areas, i used rust killer primer and crappytire exact match paint, then i coated in behind with undercoat spray, its not too noticable, and i'm not going to be winter driving it so i hope the rust doesn't come back till i can afford to fix it right. by the way where's chesley? i'm in fergus 30min north-west of guelph.

 

It's about 25 minutes south of Owen Sound; 15 minutes north of Walkerton and Hanover.

 

oh, so your a good couple of hours away, if your ever in fergus give me a shout, i'd love to see your car

 

I'll be in town sometime this month, if not early September. I've got a buddy who moved there several months ago. I can usually cover the distance in an hour-fifteen. There's some nice paved shortcuts between here and Mount Forest.

 

NICE! Great color combo too.

 

Brings back memories--- my first 1st gen was an '81 GX (GSL) with the exact same interior and seats. Exterior was metallic red and even had the headlight sprayers on the front bumper.

BTW, is the uphoulstry in the hatch grey or is that the stock color being altered by rear window tinting?

 

yeah, what kind of carpet is that in the back. It looks kinda like high-traffic office carpet. lol

ntw, it is a nice interior! i wish i had something like that when i started out on my car.

 

yeah, the back carpet isn't original, what was there before was all rotten, i pulled what u seen now out of a car at the wreckers, so i dunno who made it, it fits pretty good, like ryan said it's made of office carpet, but for 20$ i can't complain

 

Whorehouse red interior r0olz.

Just wondering, those vaccum hoses on top the of the block, is it a cali car? or do they have different standards in canada?

 

What looks different about them? thats what mine looked like when i got it.

 

Because of the increased cali emissions there was an extra vaccum line to make 6 of those multicolored things instead of the normal 5.

 

as far as i know, it was bought in canada, of all the ones i've looked at mine was the only one that still had the rats nest, so i have no idea wat it's suposed to look like.
