My 79 and 82 (pic heavy)
 
Ok, so it's been a while since I was on here, I asked a few questions and got some answers and for the most part my car hasn't changed. Until now.

So this was my baby when I got her 1982 GSL with 59k miles (headlights were just not all the way up):
October 2010

For a while had some 16x7" Enkeis that rubbed pretty hardcore
November 2011

Then back to stock wheels and tinted windows and tailights, some stickers, replaced my fan clutch, water pump, alternator, some other misc stuff

Stripped a lot of the tint off the tail lights

Then I got a decent job and picked up a donor car

Maybe it's not that great of a build thread, but keep your eyes peeled, I got big plans
Currently on the 82 (pics next post, got limited):
Eibach springs, KYB Gas-a-just struts
Custom(?) fiberglass wing, painted flat black (not glued on yet, but by tomorrow will be)
Enkei 92s, center caps need to be ordered and will be next payday

Going on:
Racing Beat Road Race header
3" straight pipe to Magnaflow 3" muffler - This is in the other car, not sure I'm going to put it in mine, the other car was bridge-ported (I did not get that engine), will I notice any performance increase with the stock 12a?
5 Speed tranny swap, have everything except the clutch and flywheel, this will probably wait for Summer though


Any suggestions or comments I'm open to, finally picked up a daily driver so I can start work on this guy. Saving the other car for a track car (way) down the road, I'm 19 working as much as I can but have neither the time nor money for it now

Love the moonroof, been trying to get the Mazda dealer here to part with one but he's asking silly money. Like hen's teeth....

How much work did it take to install those seats? Thinking of getting those.
Thanks

Looks good with the 92's, what are the specs on those?

I laughed hard at the head through the bonnet haha
