Well, you know you have a great wife when, you already have seven cars (not to mention multiple rotory motors) and you decide to come home with another car... because you can!



I love when people have no idea what they have. My most recent purchase (this weekend) was a $100 GSLSE... that has been sitting for seven+ years. The previous owners only new that it "was fast!". They parked it when the clutch slave cylinder started leaking (12$ rebuild kit and 15minutes of time to fix) and a blown fusable link stopped them from driving it. Since than it has sat! It is ugly.. but [b]relatively[u] straight. I was able to start the motor on brake cleaner!... the fuel pump is frozen (I will have a new one by this afternoon). But with gas (half bad gas/ half good gas) to the motor, the $100 purchase will be a running GSLSE... It even came with a glass moonroof (I will add it to the other 3 I have). I started preping it for paint.



The question is what to do with it... It is not like I need another 7. GSLSE's should be left stock and classic... but this one may get some of the bolt on toys that are lying around the garage.



I'll post some pics shortly! This pic is my other GSLSE (License Plate: Clarks7)



Boys and their toys!

nice find! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

make it run and SELL SELL SELL!

Yeah, it is in line for some paint... or just primer. And some interior upgrades/ cleaning!

I'll buy it for $100.01!

heey bbb www do I hear 100.02? heey bbb... it even came with moss in one of the marker lights! bbb hey 100.03?



LOL

If you really do want to sell, let me know. I'm waiting for the right SE to happen on by.

hell yeah you got a good start on a new car there.



I would fix it up and sell it.



Nice Find............

I would buy it...I bet its 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000x more reliable than my GS...

I thought it was great that after 7+ years I could start it using brake cleaner! I just got the new fuel pump last night, I hope to put it in today after work.



SE's run forever!!! That silver one in the top picture has over 250k miles on it! And it still drives and looks great!

Okay here it is!





I told you all it was ugly!



But it is realitively straight... and besides the flat tires (that hold air for about 24 hours), the mechanics are all there.



I have already stripped all the trim off (not pictured, these pics were taken right as teh car came home) and started preping it for paint... or primer.



I have some 17in 4x114 rims with tires (but they're ugly too... but they hold air), maybe they will be on the car in the next picture.

And no there is no damage to that front wheel. We almost rolled the tire off when loading the car on the flatbed... but it didn't rash the rim... there is flat rubber under there somewhere!

How many miles are on it?



Good find though!

190k, just breaking in an SE!

I did notice the worst body part is where someone tried to jack the car up on the rocker panel... I hate that... well, nothing a body puller and a sledge hammer can't fix...



Or I could just use the sledge hammer on the entire car and I would still get my $100 out of it (in fun)... Now I just need to find time to work on it!

Good deal! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

WOW, that is cheap. You can't hardly give your car a tune-up/flush the fluids for that anymore.

The new fuel pump and a battery was twice as much as the car!!!



Hopefully, I will get a moment to work on it this weekend!

Nice find.Keep us updated...

IT LIVES!



Just like and SE! 8 years of silence and rot, and it runs like a kitten... well, and old scruffy kitten... but a kitten non the less.



I definately had to drain the fuel.



Originally, I put in the new fuel pump and fuel filter and I tried running the old fuel through. No Go, gas smelled like detergent... not even gas. So I drained it and replaced it with a gallon of fresh fuel. She started right up... kind of. There was still bad fuel in the lines and she ran rough for a moment or two (having trouble reving up and idling). After giving it a break, I started it back up to rev the piss out of it and see if I could burn out the spiders and "pop" she switch over and ran perfectly. She idles, revs smoothly through the numbers and seems to be happy as a clam. And of course like and SE, she starts right back up every time now.



Now I have to replace the clutch hydraulics. I had a couple of master and slave rebuild kits, but took the cylinders off and they are rusted solid. The previous owner said the slave cylinder was leaking, and the knuckle heads left the cap off the master cylinder... full of water. Guess I'll have to get a couple cheap NAPA or KRAGEN parts.



Than I get to break the clutch loose!



I put on some old rims I had, that still hold air. She almost looks like a car! Just wait til I primer her and she is one color!



I took pics and will post them when I get back to work on Monday.

lol, the clutch on ivan's gsl-se used to rust together too, and the upper half of the ring gear did too.



clutch never really rusted bad enough you coulndt drive the car, but it did sound like sandpaper when its slipping.

Here are some of the pics!

Aw what a piece of crap!.. but a running piece of crap!

As you can see, everything has been stripped off of it and starting prep fro body work and paint.

Had to order new master and slave cylinders (cheap parts to go on a cheap car). They should arrive shortly.

hydraulics came today

Okay, so she runs and drives... kind of!



First run down and back up the street... good



Second run down and back up the street... out of gas! That sucked (I forgot I drained the tank of old gas and only put about a gallon in it... a week earlier). Now I have an ugly car dead in the middle of the street. I was able to tow it back and had to reprime the fuel lines.



The car made all the noises of a car that hadn't driven in 8 years. Lots of rust rubbing away. Tranny bearings made noise, rear end made noise, brake rotors made noise, even had a heat shield rub on the 225 tires in the rear.



I think it might be time for a tune up (plugs and wires that aren't from 5 different cars, fresh fluids all around). But it moved!



I mocked up some old body parts to add to the ugly beast. Hood with Scoop, and Mariah front bumper. What do you all think?

I guess, I will entertain this option, if anyone is local and want to buy or trade... It is probably not worth shipping anywhere.

looks good with the bumper and hood

As you can see the parts are perfect... dusty and dirty! They have been sitting around for quite some time!



This car maybe great for a roll cage and a high speed impact into a tree!



Actually, it has been worth it for the fun of troubleshooting and getting it to run.

Had my fun, revived her from the dead.



She is now in the hands of Evil Genius Racing to become a future track car! It is perfect for that!



Back to all my other projects!

You SUCK https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

LOL! I know! I was a little bummed to see it go. I did take it out on the street and burn off a little rubber first!



I need to finish up some of my other projects! Evil Genius is going to do a little work on my 20b vert...https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

nice find, I got one extremely cheap aswell! but do keep us posted!
