New 85 Owner =)

Hi everyone, just picked up my first 7.

85 GSL i believe ? It has the 1.1 12A

She is an absolute hoot to drive.

Yesterday i did a major tune-up on her.

Oil
Cap
Rotor
Wires
Air Filter
Spark Plugs
AC Belt
Alternator Belt
Airpump Belt
Seafoam in Gas


THe car runs alot smoother.

I still need to fix my bee-hive oil leak, i already have the o-rings on order.

anyways, just wanted to introduce myself =)

I look forward to learning alot and cleaning up the car a bit =)

Welcome to the forum. It's good to see someone who lurks and learns long enough to come up with a good to-do list. Way to hit the ground running.

Welcome to the forum. I have to echo what Crit said, we don't often get first time posters who actually know anything. New members get the usual sig line with all the downloads and link for the FSMs, carb manual etc..
