Hub swaps
I have a 83 GSL, and a shitty GSL-SE that doesn't run. I wanna swap the rear end and the hubs.
How much "fitting" is involved to get this all to fit? The reason I want the hubs is that there are many more rims available for this type of bolt pattern...
The reason I want the rear end is that it has LSD (but I always felt that I already had it on my 83.... maybe?) and it is a better differential as a whole...
Any suggestions?

8krpm is not enough
the GSL's came with a LSD rearend, but the GSL-SE rearend should bolt up and the front strut assemblies should also bolt up to the body, so you can have the 4x4.5 bolt pattern all around.
There's a good FAQ out there somewhere.
