well as most of you know i tore down the black rx due to serious frame damage. "rust"

so i bought an 84 gsl

its my new daily driver

i plan to build up a gsl-se turbo this winter so please no makin fun of the power steering and no go fast sugestions

they were taken at night and i will post more tommorrow before and after the gsl-se suspension swap

ok here they are with details below each photo





little bit of rust here and there and a couple small dents,
cant complain,
will be fixed tommorrow

 

this side looks pretty good,
cant complain

 

i really wanna leave this thing stock and mint it out but i really like my old tailights better,
im gonna make a hybrid phantom kit that you cant tell are modded unless lit up

 

thats right leather interior and damn it looks good,
just one small "1 inch" flaw in the driver seat

 

other side just as nice,
need a new wheel though
really bad

 

yep.
everything is still there,
how nice is that

 

Looking good, although, I liked the black one better

~T.J.

PS - That engine compartment is looking a little "full"

 

holy batpoop,
isnt there something wrong with the a/c?

damn right thats the same a/c setup as on the 13b "found that out when i ordered belts"
thats beacuase this extremely rare 12a sports power steering
freakin insane,
first one i seen in my life and its all stock

 

ok heres the run down on the car.
12???? miles
runs better then the black one.

price $300.00 !!!!!!

how you ask?

ok heres the deal for you rotary rookies,
there is a small relay under the dash on 84-85 models "not sure on earlier years"
it cuts both the fuel pump and the spark at the same time,
but will sometimes just cut the fuel "got me"

anyway i asked the guy selling it what was wrong with it and he said "i dont know,it was my son in laws car and he parked it one day then it just wouldnt start again"

i knew it had to be it but had to confirm without him knowing,

heres how you do it,
get in and turn the key.
yep thats it,
if you dont hear the pump "which you should,it is an out of tank electric"
then chances are that is it.

if your not for sure try cranking on a nice fully charged battery and if wants to start but when you give it gas it starts back from scratch then 99% this is your problem

to fix it you must locate the realy which can be done without removing any panels at all,
and cut just one wire,
if you hear the relay click then it was the problem

i bought the car,
did the trick,
and the guy was pissed watching me drive away.

since i have replaced or upgraded

fuel pump
fuel filter
carburator
cleaned cats
spark plugs
wires
oil change
you get the picture

tommorrow is gsl-se suspension swap part 2

 

So, basically you took advantage of someone cause they didn't have the knowledge of these cars you do and you ripped him off. feel special?

 

hey whats your beef?
thought we where freinds?

anyway the guy was a total *******,
he made fun of the car a ton of times while i was there,
it wasnt even his car it was his son in laws and his son in law was a doctor or some **** like that,
so im sure he didnt need it anymore,
hence the low price.
i only took advantage of the situation,
im would never do that to a rotary fan

 

Come on now... the guy was selling a non-running car for $300.00,... who should care if the person buying the car figured out how to make it run, least of all the previous owner who probably spent too much time and money on it and got so upset with it not running in spite of the money he threw at it....if it where me, I'd say good luck to ya~!




RAC

 

he's right. the guiy wouldn't have ever fixed and never made anymore money off of it. if dave fixed it then the guy would have made more money and screwed dave over. i liked the black one better too. powersteering wussie. i see you're not in jail and didn't need my letter eh? when do you plan on coming down? i just interviewed and might be getting a job in louisville. yippie for me.

 

i can't believe its snowing up there already too.

you kept the weds right?

 

weds are going on tommorrow,
should look sweet,

couldnt e-mail you back with the dates,
so i had to go without,

hope to come down before sept.
and what snow?
its around 80-100 f here

Good luck on the job,
i'll pray for ya,

heres the outcome of court,
suspendid licsense for 2 years and had to pay $305.00

so heres a message to everyone,
dont drag race

 

ouch. that sucks man. just don't get caught driving on the sus license.

 

Sweet deal! Good luck with it!

 

I got the same A/C unit with the damn upper hose running across the hot start relay cable in the '84. I ditched the hot start so it wouldn't rub off the rest of the insulation. My car has no power steering, however. Thanks for the heads up on ordering belts...

 

ok here are the day time pics,
suspension swap will be complete tommorrow,

these are some before and afters on the body work,
its still not done but looks a hell of a lot better,and now the rust wont spread any more

 

before body work

 

and here are some after body work with a clean interior

 

yep shes my new bitch

 

Oh, that changes it then. I apologize. I had this mental picture in my head of some poor little old guy who didn't know **** about the car and you with an evil smile on your face as you get the car started and drove away. If he was a jerk then **** him. Really, I'm sorry. Good luck with your project.

 

Hmmm, re reading my above post I realized it could be taken as sarcasm. It isn't.

 

no problem.
i always thought we were cool,and dont like forum members mad at me.
were all family here.
i got your back
you got mine

and believe me this guy was a v8 lovin *** and the car was on the way to the scraper

he even over charged me because he wanted to be a dick,
he admitted the scraper was gonna give him $150.00 for it and charged me double,
so i felt no remourse
