The Blues summer
It’s been a long summer of many projects, but we managed to get some of our projects done this summer also, which included CODEBLUE rebuilding our 1985 gsl se (Iotus) with a mild street port by himself. His first build went good, and has almost 1000 miles on the new motor so far.
We changed our 1979 (Blue’s) differential. The exhaust sleeves cracked and a piece went up in the turbo during a nightly drive, but did no damage. Shocking, as it is blue, has had no problems for a couple years now, after changing from the Supercharger to the Turbo setup. I must give heads up to Corksport for the awesome workmanship that they did, especially Derrick.
We also bought another 1979 with a 13b weber setup, built by skip, which was garaged for 13 years or so. We did a nice blue paint job on it, and put it away till next spring.
Here are some pictures of all of our children. (Blue), (Iotus), (Jr.Blue), and (Codecrashleyblue).
What has everyone done this summer, and what are your plans for winter projects?
Iotus waiting for a transplant
Iotus’s new parts
Iotus’s new motor all ready to go in
Iotus’s install
Iotus- almost street ready
Iotus- “That’s how I roll”.

Wow guys looks great, Glad you go Iotus back up and running. Deena your car looks so great, nearly black in one of the photos. You guys are giving Jenkins a run for his money car wise. The new one turned out really well too.
Nice cars.

I'm game. I will help you out if you want. I will shoot you a pm later. Lets just go for it and pick a date and get something going next spring/summer. Kinda sucked not having the West sides BBQ this last summer. Us Eastsiders were ready to do the drive.

Id say at the least $500 depending on if they have been curbed or any hash marks. The 15" are pretty hard to find if in nice condition. The 13" and 14" are the more common sizes.

New motor looks amazing! Keep up the great work. Those cars are absolutely stunning!
For the record, I'm on to another form of "Rex", a "WRX". Finally got me back on the boost, though not with quite as much style as the '7. Problem with the 7 is its just not a great mountain car, and would be a bit of a hassle carrying 3x 30+ pound mountain bikes, on top!
Keep 'em boostin, 'Blue!

Thanks for the code as your old baby will be getting his new paint this winter. You should come out and see him next spring if your in the Spokane area, and take a quick spin in him, with all the changes/new motor. Iotus still even has his hat...smile.
