A timeline of my L bodies..

Post by Mr. Beefy »

Start off with my old 88GT 2.8 auto. Bought it for $300 running real rough. Turns out a coil pack was bad. Replaced that and it ran like a champ....... till I threw a rod. Got $300 on a trade in for a pickup so I think I made out well.



My 90 GT 3.1 auto. I bought this car from my sister when the car sat for over 4 years. Put in a battery and an O2 sensor, changed the oil and drove it home. I did a few things to it but then it started acting up on me. I bought the GTZ, parked it and used good parts on that car. Then with money problems the GT went back on the road for my wife. It finally met it's demise 3 weeks ago.

Which leads us to the 90 Quad GTZ (for sale by the way......) I drove to NE Conn. to get this car with hopes to fix it and have a nice quick (semi) rare Beretta. Picked it up for $700.  After de-ricing some things, and starting to fix it up, it was my daily driver for a while. After a strut blowing out and pinching a fuel line, I decided to get a bigger DD.... my 93 Bronco. She now sits on the side of my house waiting for someone to buy her.

Last, the 96 3100 auto Corsica. I saw a posting in Craigslist for this car. Picked it up for $500. This is a 1 owner from SC. About a week after I bought it, the LIMG is seaping out. It's not mixing with the oil but it needs to be repaired. This is the wife's DD. I cant complain about the car. It does have a little body damage on it but it's nothing that cant be fixed.

The night I brought it home:





With the crosslaces



with the Z rims



Oh yea...... what rust??

I am jealous of the rust situation on the corsica.
