Entry 1: Purchase

I purchased an 86 GT from someone I knew in Port St. John. The car is mechanically sound, with an 92 roller motor, new windshield, manual rack, 3.55 posi, brand new clutch, and black ponies. Also got some other parts in the transaction like a transmission and extra set of rims and E7 cylinder heads.

Saw the ad on Craiglist and headed down after work with my dad in the truck, loaded it up and headed back. Clean title, now it needs to be put back together. Good news is the title is clear and in hand.

One of the main issues with the car is the drivers side requires a new floor pan. Someone welded in some thick metal and sealed it with window foam so it needs to come out. Because the interior is completely gutted, its the first thing to address. No sense in putting it together just to pull it apart again. Car came with a replacement floor pan so I might as well weld it in. Also has a sizeable exhaust leak at the manifold.

What needs to be done now:

Rebuild brakes and re-pack front bearings

Drop and clean out fuel tank, new fuel filter

Check for Vacuum leaks

Exhaust Leak

Cooling System- Add Electric Fan, New Hoses, Thermostat, flush system.

Later:

Shocks and Struts

Refresh Axle Fluids and Bearings
