My new baby

Trying to post pics of my new baby....but if someone could assist, i would most appreciate it, computer down, so doing everything from my fone, and can not resize...
Just got super lucky with this buy,
1985 gsl
Racing beat headers, presilencer and muffler
Re-speeds coil over kit all for corners
Hawk brake pads
Body is in great shape , interior is mint
Bought off the owner for 1100, with the understanding that the motor was blown
Not the case, the previous owner rebuilt the carb, and did something wrong where i was not building pressure. I swithed out the carb and walaaa
Purrs like a kitten...

That happens all too often! I got my ls for 300 $ because the hillbilly that owned it said the motor was shot. ended up being a bad trailing coil. Psh, noobs.

I bought one that the dealer said the engine was blown. Was just flooded from a leaky injector

Bought another, different dealer though, diagnosed failed coolant seals causing a ton of white smoke. Real issue: stuck cold start assist solenoid.

bought a 79" that had a "blown" engine. Turns out the starter was so gunked up with oil and road grime that the starter seized. Took it apart and cleaned it up and worked like a charm for 5 years before I had to do anything major to it.

www.imgur.com is a great place to upload pictures to. They easily supply what you need to copy/paste as well. Go for the "BB code"
