hey guys, i picked up a 86 GTS about a month ago. at first i was very skeptical but after driving it and actually pushed it, boy i was wrong! fell in love with it since. the 86 has seen better days. In the Passenger side in the quarter panel, looks like someone hit someone and then did a hack job on it (same with a fender). it also has 3 low compression on 3 cylinders. tsk tsk tsk. but the car is in good hands now, so its finally getting maintenance after many years of abuse. also, im not sure what 4age i have since i have black and red top valve covers. gonna look on the ribs to see if its black/red top or a bluetop with different covers. goals with this is 160 hp to the wheels and be one fun DD with some suspension work as well. will post more pics but this all i have of the car in my phone lol

Nice find boss! I hope you bring that baby to life.
Re: picked up a GTS 86 that has seen better days
Nice find! It looks pretty complete despite being rough around the edges, that really makes a big difference believe me! Hunting for missing parts is no fun.
160 HP is a pretty reasonable goal. Good luck!

Haha, don't put too much pressure on him idreamofdrifting. One step at a time; I think chasing after elusive black limited parts would give anyone nightmares.
