I could have fixed the other one, but I should save that for my next project. My next project will be a wrecked FD So keep your eyes open for a wrecked one for sell

whats the deal with it? well its a start

hows it run? bwahahaha not at all, but its gonna get a new motor

its an 85 gsl automatic paint code t9 with nice garaged paint job, a freshly rebuilt auto tranny, but a failed 200k mile motor

im gonna swap to 5spd, a rebuilt 12a with whatever i find around here, and st springs and tokico blues. got a set of sa wheels that should go on and replace the plus rims as soon as i get some tires


today im yankin off the stock exhaust but im stuck on one last bolt, i'll get it soon though

still waitin on my other bro to gimme back my camera cable so i can post my own pictures doh

ha 20b would require more money than i make in a loooooong time
damn bolt wont come off so im waitin til its a more reasonable time to crank on my air compresser and see if my impact wrench will snap the bolt for me hehe
if not i'll go get an air grinder and cut the ho off
hmmmm im bored im gonna measure the distance to the automatic tranny mount and see if its diferent than my 85 gsl 5 spd.
