Hi All.
This is going to be a quick intro with a smattering of pics.
car is an 83 GL I've owned since new. Started as a 3.8/C5. Currently dropping in a 302/T5.
Pics:
From about 15 years ago:
Coming home after being stored in a friends field for about 5 years:
That's my old 62 TBird beside it. Sold it off earlier this year since new house didn't have the space to keep both. The TBird went because it had terminal rust. A guy bought it for the parts.
89 roller block, edlebrock Performer RPM air gap, holley 750, bbk longtubes and a few other bits and pieces:
3.8/C5 out:
Pressure wash:
302/T5 in:
picked up some used body parts cheap:
grafting 87 lower on to 83 upper:
Collecting more used parts:
Couldn't resist a quick visual of the SN95 16's:
Hard to believe 5 spoke 16's were the hot ticket back in the 80's/90's for these cars and now you can pick up a cherry set of OEM quality "cast away's" for 100 bucks. How times change....
That's pretty much where it sits today.
