So I aquired my old car 82 GSL and I have a 83 badge swap LoL what parts besides the rear end do I need to pull to complete my 83 up to the trim of the GSL?

Assuming your 83 is a GS (already has map light, electric hatch release and hatch light, glove box light and ignition key light as well as power mirros) then you need the power windows (along with the door panels and switches obviously) the rear hatch with wiper, cruise control and I believe the seats were also different. I'm sure I'm missing a few minor things, but those are the big items.

The rear end is the big performance difference, the rest is relatively minor.

Yeah I knew the rear end was a big one, and a lot of parts are getting changed over to fix mine up cosmetically. There are a few functions that are not working also like the pop up head light motors ect.

I have a GS right now with GSL badges... ttim options match what has been said about the GS options.

I am so glad I got ahold of a parts car since I went to change out my U-joints for replacement and I think this car had a drive shaft out of a Mazda Cosmo 76-78, RX-4 74-78 the bearing caps are just over 1/2 " in DIA, when I got my new U-joints today and tried to install them the bearing caps on those were 0.985" hmmm don't think that will work, thank goodness for a parts car LOL
