Sup people. I just picked up an 84 gsl se non runner for $900, car has new injectors, plugs, wires, fuel and brake lines, and previous owner couldn't get it running. I brought car home spent 5 mins looking at it to figure no power to fuel pump I hot wired fuel pump to see if I could get it running. I got it to run for a few seconds but it was rough, pulled plugs to check compression and nothing on rear rotor. Then I took my video scope and looked through plug hole and found it had a missing apex seal and a scored rotor. Turbo 2 swap coming soon.

 

Started getting my engine ready to pull out. Took my scope through the exhaust port and found that the missing apex seal took out the other seals also scoring and chipping the rotor. The housings front and rear have a decent amount of oil in them.

Looks like a nice clean body for $900.

 

Yea it's not too bad it was repainted at some point not too well, but looks ok enough for now. I will repaint it in the winter.

 

Got engine out finally, by myself with now engine lift. It was tricky but I did it. Now to strip engine down and keep the good parts and turn bad parts into display pieces. Found the tii engine I want, it already has a power fc ecu and controller and a fmic. Price is a bit steeper than other tii engines I found. Now to sell some stuff to be able to get an engine.

 

Was it Tornado Silver? Id repaint it back to the original color. Hows the interior?

 

It was originally white I beleive. I will probably paint it back to an origional colour. Or a pearl white. The interior is ok it's missing passenger seat and storage bins and trunk carpet. I have also have an 84 gsl that's has completly stripped down but have complete nterior that's blue in really good shape.
