Not many, I broke my digi cam last weekend taking pics of my FC project by dropping the camera on the concrete garage floor...for the millionth time! Anyways, I snapped some while holding the camera together. I'll get a new camera soon and take more. But basically you can see the gist of it. It's just an '84 GS that needs some love. We pulled it out from under the tree it was under, washed off a good amount of pine needles and took all the extra "stuff" out of the interior that it had accumulated over the last two years.



Basically, it's getting completely gutted so interior shape doesnt matter. Like I said, it has a GSL rear end and rear discs w/ tokico shocks..I'll probably keep those for a while. The motor has 135K on it and did run when it was parked, so I'm gonna see if I can fire it up again..throw a holley and some NOS at it, see what happens, lol.



The body is mostly straight, and does have some surface rust..not much to be worried about..I think I can clean it up and spray it a solid color again...

Very very cool. If you don't care much about the motor, throw a 200 shot of n20 at it, and let the fun begin!!

Oh the stocker motor is getting a 100 shot w/ a holley 650vac sec carb...probably will be too much for it, but we'll see...if it holds the 100 shot w/ holley and full exhaust, i'd expect it to pull at least a 14 flat in the 1/4...maybe more....
