Proud owner of a GSL-SE

What up guys I just purchased a clean 85 GSL-SE last night.

Now here are some pics of the car washed and in my house
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../GSL-SE001.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../GSL-SE002.jpg

This thing is so clean besides small dings but barely noticable, it starts right up and runs strong. Came with many goodies (tokiko blues, RB springs, 16" konigs) he included lots of extras to install later (Rotors,pads,SS brake lines,wheel bearings, PS pump, 3rd Gen Alt, and a Glass Moonroof). This is my 1st (1st Gen) that I have owned and I believe is one of the cleanest.
Please let me know what you guys think.

yeah I will post more pics of it tomorrow of the interior and the engine bay. The interior works and the only defects that I found is the antenna doesn't go down and the driver side window has problems going up. I will figure out all the bugs this weekend.

Quick question maybe you guys can help me. I have some RB headers from my 2nd Gen will they fit on my SE without any problems? Any info would help
Thanks

Headers will bolt on, but I don't know if you will have any clearance issues. Tying them ito the rest of the exhaust will take some extra work.

Good looking SE.

Great looking SE. I want to see interior and engine bay pics as well.

You can never have enough pics of FB's (unless there is a piston power under the hood, or really riced out.)

Nice looking car. I also just picked up my first first gen and have been having a ton of fun driving it around. Im surprised at the amount of these cars that are still in such good shape.

Looks great, is it factory paint? Never seen them in that color.Is the rear bumper faded? I hope not. Overall, great GSL-SE. Congrats. How many miles does she have?

more pix

Here goes pix of the interior, everything is complete, nothing cracked or broken except for the wear and tear on the drivers seat but all is good, also a pix of engine bay.

I checked the compression on the motor and readings were too good to be true.
I checked it twice because I couldn't believe it.
Front housing (118 psi)
Rear housing (115 psi)

Holy crap my car is Identical to that one, except the wheels and I have cloth seats. So all this time I thought the light tan pinstripes on mine were aftermarket. Do yours come together at the back and do that little swoosh (wtf!) thing around the hatch lock? So the color is havanna brown eh? Try finding touch up paint for it at O'reillys! Impossible!

I love how often us members that have been around for a while continually tell everyone to read the FAQ's and to search even though we know that within the next twelve hours there will be questions asked that have been answered a million times already in the past week.

Seeing all these GSL-SE's pop up here on the site makes me want one even moreso.

And what the hell is that black thing in your hatch with the wires going to it?

Thanks guys I appreciate all the feedback, yeah she is a BEAUT and I still cant believe I own one. I am very familiar with 2nd Gens and 3rd Gen (which I own) but never a 1st Gen. I will definately read all the FAQ's. The only mods I might only do would be to add headers and exhaust. I should be taking it to SEVENTOCK

The black thing in the back is the bazzoka it actually came with the along with pioneer speakers in the stock location and a head unit all with the car. I cant figure out how to make the antenna go down, that is the only thing bugging me.
Any info
