Okay heres the deal. I have a clean/solid 83 gsl 12a (the one w/ the edelbrock carb) w/ panasports and a close to mint interior, runs strong. My brother and I went to look at an 85 gsl-se candy red paint job, targa top, holley carbed 13b, sounds strong, aluminum flywheel, 4 puck clutch and lots of other goodies and no rust. The interior however is basically FUBAR'd. So my bro asked me if I wanted to trade strait up. What do I do fellas? Sorry no pics. Cant find my camera

 

trade its an se

 

i would keep the gsl.
maybe i would trade if it had a clean interior and efi.

 

I never really cared for the EFI so thats not an issue. Its the interior that needs LOTS of work. Some parts were painted a candy orange, others like the seats are torn to hell and burgandy seats are trash and the dash is black? lol. It seems like a fun project but still not sold on the idea.

 

well 84-85 interior is pretty easy to come by and not too hard to replace.
i guess it comes down to what style interior you like better.

didnt you just get A 13B for your gsl?

put that sweet 4 port in the gsl and keep your panas.

 

keep the GSL and make it a sleeper. Give it the simple look but deadly.

 

trade for the se interior is easy to come by and take it from me EASY to replace i took out my intire interior and had it back in the same night its easy...seats are easy u can use 2nd gens and if u want rx8 seats.
