lol, i'm not sure i will ever sell that car. it would have to come to hell or high water before i parted with it, lol. but if i do, you're the first guy i call!

 

LOL yeah I would hope you'd hold onto it forever.

 

i have too much time, money, and sentiment in it to let it go. plus i still need to install that disc brake rear!!

 

and the LE wheels....

 

the LE wheels are foe sure going on there! i want to have them professionally straightened and then i will polish the lip and paint the center so that the wheel is back to its original glory. they will look AWESOME on the GS! funny thing is that i see them every day and it sickens me that they're not on the car!

 

Yeah I really need to restore my set too. Someday...

 

someday soon!!

 

I like the "RestoMod" category .The LE wheels will be great addition to building the best of FB's idea you have. You have power mirrors on it ? Nice you have the grey interior which I think was best FB interior , never liked the red

Have you got good original floor mats ? I just bought some from the Jason Custom Floor Mats thread thats on the forum which are awesome. Very high quality reproductions

 

the car does have power mirrors and the floor mats are an original set. they are in pretty decent shape for their age!

 

Got the 85 out of storage yesterday andx brought back to the new house. Left front brake was dragging and now is not working at all. I will be investigating that today! I will attempt to post some pics today as well!

 

I'm stealing that line... That's how I approach my car, too; 'how they should'a done it, if they could'a done it at the time.'

 

here are a couple pics of the 85 in front of our new house:

 

the left front caliper went bad and i had no choice but to install a front caliper from an 88 SE. they are nearly identical and it works perfectly. this is only temporary as the new caliper comes mid next week. but until then it should continue to work perfectly.

 

Your new house is nice....driveway looks big enough to add to your collection...lol

 

dude, the driveway is HUGE! its very long and near the house its possible to park no less than 10 cars!

 

You say that is a 13b from a 86 SE but it sure looks identical to my 85 GSL-SE engine. Are those the components from a GSL-SE?

 

no, its from a GSL-SE, specifically an 84 SE. i don't believe that i said it was from an 86.

 

kinda hard to see...buuut i washed the 85 tonight before i went to work. covered it in the driveway.

 

the car is back on the slate to update. will be adding a GS rear end and will be updating the steering with new tie rods, inner and outer and a new moog idler arm. hope to get to that this coming week.

 

had only my second part failure on the car happen yesterday. coolant cap split. it will be replaced today for sure. i will be posting more pics as soon as i locate my camera, lol. worst case i will use my phone, lol.

 

here are a couple pics from the other day when i was cleaning the car out:

 

a couple more older random pics:

 

Looks great! Glad to know there are still clean cars out there.

 

thanks man! it's now my official daily driver on nice days. tomorrow may start the install of new tie rod ends and a new moog idler arm that i've been putting off.

 

Gee I only gave em to you a year ago, might be about time lol
