Hey guys i finally got my hands on a 1990 gxl, it has a beautiful body but 270,000 , but my mechanic said it should be good for about a year 1 or 2, by then i should have enough saved for a TII swap or rebuild. (it has a racing beat exhaust, possible entire system not too sure which one, but if i do decide to go for TII would i have to replace the exhaust system?)

Anyways i just would like to know what i should do to help maintain this beauty . One of the 1st things i am going to do is apply some rust protection (any recommendations?), oil change, other than that i am lost.

 

Do a full tune up. Oil, spark plugs, clutch/brake fluid, vacuum lines, coolant/heater hoses.

If you swap in a turbo motor later, the only part of the exhaust that has to change is the downpipe.

 

Might as well do the tranny and rear end fluid.

 

make sure the pulsation dampener isnt leaking.
