My 85

Picked this up about 2 weeks ago. Added louvers, sold the wheels that were on it (baby supras) and added some Enkie 92's.

Guy didnt know what he had. He only bought it to help a family member out. I got there thinking it was an OK stock 1st gen. I start looking at it and found it had a RB intake manifold, Holley carb/fuel pressure regulator/fuel pump, GSL disc break LSD rear, Full exhaust/headers, and a few other goodies. That alone was worth more than what I paid.

At first it would not run. So I did a simple carb rebuild/tune and some spark plugs. Now it runs beautiful. I believe it also has a street port from the way it idles and sounds. Guy said it had a rebuild done 20k ago. Happy to have a 1st gen again, it's been too long.

The only thing I found bad was a broken throttle cable. lol...

Oh yeah... The way it sits right now in these pics. I'm only about 500 bucks into it for everything including the cost of the car!!!
