Figured I'd start my own little thread here as I am about to start building my little street/ autox car. The car is an 85 GS that I picked up off a local forum member. It needs carb work to run, but comes with a ton of extra parts. It has a Racing Beat catback (potentially) already on the car and the body is straight. It comes with an FC oil cooler and fuse block and a hatch full of parts.
So far I have sourced a GSL rear end (thanks Bryan, I promise Im coming to get it!), a Dellorto DHLA 48 with Weber soft mounts, Racing beat Manifolds, and a Carter external FP.
That should be enough to get me started. Right now the carb is jetted for a 4 port 13B, so Ill have to rejet it and find a header before I can crank it.
Total investment so far, including the car and all parts: only $1,100!
