My new 85 GSL *pics* 56K beware

i got the car from a friend. it needs a little tlc but i have the time and a bit of spare cash to make it a worthwhile investment. i basically saved the car from a V8 swap. it has 101K and runs very well. its being delivered next wednesday. here are the pics before i start cleaning it up and working my magic i'm going to make it another summer toy. i've faced the facts, i'm addicted and i'm in love with these cars!
