My previously owned were an 86 GXL, 87 TII and a 84 GS project car that is now a parts car for this bad bitch.

Thank you! It runs very very smooth. Its a little boggy at low rpm. The owner said it just needs an adjustment to the carb. I haven't dug into that yet. I've been doing an interior swap with an 84 I have. I just finished that so onto mechanical stuff.

It drives very nice but the suspension is shot. Very bumpy. Good news is the previous owner had bought all new suspension but hadn't installed it yet so I received all those parts with the purchase.

It was also bought out of province which means I need a vehicle inspection done in order to register it in Alberta.

After suspension and before inspection I will be going through the inspection list to give it the best chance of passing.
