Picked up an 84 GSL-SE and it's been parked in my garage for about 7 years. Now that I have time I would like to start rebuilding it. I don't know where to begin (besides the obvious,removing the engine lol) any help,tips would be appreciated. Thanks

 

After sitting for 7 years, there will be a lot of work...This will get you started:

You may not even need to rebuild the engine. Once properly lubricated you can perform a compression check, and look inside the exhaust ports to check for excessive corrosion.

 

Thanks for the info. I will try this first. And keep everyone posted.

 

Ok checked everything and it looks like I'm going to have my hands full! Needs a starter, split air pipe, tie rods....ect. The spark plugs looked ok no rust. Part of the engine wire harness looks burnt. Any info on locating a engine wire harness for a 13B. Thanks

 

have you found out why the harness is burnt?

 

Not yet. I've been looking thru some wiring diagrams but I don't know where to begin or how to accurately check it. Its not the entire harness its just some connectors near the master
cylinder and some of the relays near that same area

Any info on this will be appreciated Thanks

 

where exactly are the burnt wires? are they to the right or to the left,upper or lower area of the master cylinder? pics?

 

They are to right including the one that plugs to the brake fluid res. I have pics but I don't know how to post them from my phone

 

You may be able to find an engine harness in the 1st gen classifieds section.

Too bad you didn't ask earlier because I just threw out 2.
