i have an 88 gxl, but after working on my brothers 84, and my dads 79, and having so many parts and parts cars, i think i want a 1st generation again. so whatta ya say?

 

i say yes! theres always room for a 1st gen

 

i say go 4 it man.
if u want 1, u should get 1.
Plus u got 2 ppl around that would help u out if ne thing goes wrong.

 

Yea they are like Jello.... and theres always room for Jello

 

i say yes. go for it. parts are abundant and the SA, FB's are easy to diagnose and to work on.

 

well now i gotta find one! or an engine, i have an 85 gsl-se in freakin great shape just need an engine...god i wish i had money...

 

dont we all...

i say... save up and TII swap

 

is anyone here going to tell him not to get a first gen? Im pretty sure everyone here is pretty biased on the subject...

mcnannay, if you end up buying a whole car and dont want the 85 anymore, PM me. I am looking for a car with a good body

 

I LOVE JELLO!

Yeah get a 1st gen! I have one.... she's a beaute!

 

depends on what shape u like best...

 

hey....ther is nothing like a ist gen. ....it just right if your not over 6 ft ....small cabin shifter right there ...and the weight...to power ratio...you can't beat (just my opin.) go for it ...love it....be it...money ... hey don't we all need , want it...but an engine for an se...get that an roll out in due time ...i would sell the 2nd gen just to get a motor.

 

the first mazda i had was an 82..... and i really liked it .so when that one died . I went right out and got another one this time its a 79.
it takes a lot of time , work & money to get the car the way you want it , but i have never been happyer . with the one i have now . and im still not done yet....hehe

 

hell yeah. crap just switch the motor from the 2nd gen. you won't regret it.

 

I got a gslse I'm parting out right now, I will probably be selling the motor 220k miles on it. Kinda far to ship though

 

Im with kettlman... drop the GXL engine and intake into the GSL-SE!
