Hi all. I've been the proud owner of an 86' GXL which has been sittin gin my driveway for three years. Finally I'm getting the rebuild underway this month. I've got the engine out, and an taking it down to the core this weekend.

Good luck man. I have built a few of my own and all i can say is that it is fun and a great experience. The best advice that you will need at the time before you go getting into building it is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! When you get everything apart clean them like no other. It will make everything go back together that much better.
