im about to buy a 82 GSL ($2500 AUD.. good deal or not?), and just a few things are wrong..

the freeplay in the steering whell is HUGE.. like almost 1/4 turn, is there an easy way to fix this?

and also the dash is very cracked.. os there any way to fix this? or would it just be easier to carpet it?

also the pauint is a bit screwed up, but i got some money spare to give it a respray after i shave locks/handles...


-Cheers

not sure of the exchange rate.... however, there is always gonna be some play in the steering. however, it could be a worn steering box...... the dash, well you could put a mat on it or replace. its all in your personal preference. i would offer 1500-1700 american for it if it is decently low miles and runs like a top with little rust.
