  1. Thanks man:) sometimes I question the miles but parts of the car just don't show more than the mileage like the interior, I think the leak was let go for way to long and coated the engine bay with transmission fluid and just let sit to collect dirt.. I just think the first owner didn't take care of it but now it's gonna be all happy:) Such a shame it was wrecked but I guess if it wasn't it might have never came my way, I just think after it was wrecked it sat in an insurance lot for years explaining all the seals drying up and then driving it just caused lots of leaks..
  2. Hey guys and gals, just bought me an 87 gl from my brother:) story behind the car is it was a 1 owner car and had a rear end collision, insurance totaled the car out and it sat for way too long somewhere. Car went to auction and my brothers buddy owned a used car lot and picked it up for 600 bucks. My brother then let his sons girlfriend drive it for a while and then it came back to him leaking like a madman from every seal possible. He then took it to my mechanic and had him fix most of the leaks, dropped the tranny due to a massive leak pouring over the cat. Got it back and sold it to me for what he had in it which was 1500. Runs and drives great, still need to check the timing belt and fix minor leaks at the valve covers. The car is an automatic with 64k original:) Dealing with the typical check engine light right now and just fixing things that have been neglected. So far I have put a new cat on, new muffler, O2, typical tune up, fixed the passenger door lock, cleaned it up, fixed heater(at some point someone used the evil stop leak crap that should be illegal to sell), some other stuff I'm sure but it's running great with still a couple things to figure out. Anyway here are some pics:) Interior is amazing!!!! And then you have this:( trying to get it pushed out a bit in the pic so I can at least get the used not smashed light to mount up. Another pic of the dreaded damage, not bad but to get it out its gonna take extensive work, just trying to get it somewhat ok for my OCD issues:) So I was trying to think of the questions I have but I have been lurking and searching finding everything I need, thanks by the way:) but I guess I will use this thread as a question/kinda progress thread if that's cool I didn't see a build thread section unless I'm nuts and missed it. Anyhoo great to be here and can't wait to meet some peeps and figure all my bugs out. Also might need a few parts once I compile my list of little things I am looking for. Have good day:) Pics fixed, and if a mod can move this to members rides or the meet and greet that would be sweet, thanks:)..
