One is a 1985 GS, 120K, runs good, interior is so-so (missing door panels) and has a wonky front fender. I have not seen this car in person yet. I found it in North GA, and had my father in law pick it up for me. That was about 2 weeks ago, maybe I can go get it this weekend.

The 2nd is a 1984 GSL with no engine and is a mess (it does have 2/3 of the IMSA wing, lol). All I plan to do with this is loot the LSD disc rear end, front fender and a few other parts. Then jfaplanet is taking it to swap over a drivetrain and get it back on the road.

Currently I am looking at a bunch of options. Do I RE-Speed it out with all the big brake/5 lug conversion? Do I swap in GSL-SE bits and then do suspension upgrades?

Don't know yet, still working on some deals on parts For now, I have procured the RB Holley kit, stripping all emissions, and am working a deal for an entire interior.

Looking for an entire exhaust system and some other bits too. Hopefully this will be at DGRR. If I can find time to do any of this!!

The $$$ items may have to wait until I sell the Z3.

Any suggestions? (besides throw out the 12a.....I'm looking at you Brian)
What? What did I say/do in the past to deserve such treatment? Oh wait.... I know

Sell them to some poor sucker who actually likes FB's for some unknown reason after you've raped all the needed parts for the Cosmo and concentrate on that build.... how's that coming? Can we expect a DGRRXI debut?
