I found a 85 GT-S coupe with a 4ag for $400. A gentleman who autoXs with me owns it. He was planning on using it as a parts car, until he drove it. He thought it was a blast.
Its dirty, ugly, blown shocks, beat up, and straight up disgusting to look at. What perks my interest is the 4ag and the LSD. The engine runs like it was built yesterday, and the LSD has plenty of bite. I would have never guessed that a 21 year old engine would run as well as this one does. The rust spot and crinkles is my concern.
If I take delivery of this, I would like to turn it into a track car. Here are my current plans for it
Stripped interior
seam weld everywhere possible *buddy is surgical with an arc welder*
AC removal
Driver seat
bare necessity gauges *oil/water temp, RPM, gas, pressure
shock/spring combo with eibach ground control
roll cage
exhaust
...........maybe a tow hook or summin
Thats pretty much it. A few sets of tires and I think I will be all set. The rust is my issue though. I have never dealt with it. You can see in the picture where the rust is. I am meeting with the guy in 2 days, I will take better pictures then.
I would like some insight on this. Is it even worth picking up the project, or should I look for another car.
