Best $500 I've ever spent...
This arrived at my house yesterday :)
1983 GSR-III, hasn't been on the road in 10 years. Gonna grab all the bits that are better than the ones on my nice car, then see if I can get it running - if it's too far gone, I'll strip it I think.
BTW, does anyone know what the bottom (orange) sticker in this picture says?? :

The sticker means..

seems like the south island is the place to find them.
I paid $800 for mine a couple of years ago and it came with LSD too... Had been parked up for 4 years when I got it

Yeah, its the one from Southland - Apparently it blew a turbo, I'm hoping to get the head off this weekend and see whether it's been damaged much, the ECI thing leaked fuel all over the place when I tried to start it, and its pretty rusty, there's a rusty hole in the passenger side floor, rust under the rear seats and a complete mess under the front windscreen. Exhaust manifold is cracked badly...Junkers wrote:This is the one from 'Southland'? I had wondered who got their hands on this. Nice score.
What is actually wrong with it? The previous owner said it had some engine troubles. No doubt a fair bit of rust aswell.
Rear brakes were seized. Otherwise it doesn't look too bad, interior is mostly pretty good, digital dash still works.
Still not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it - depends on what state the engine is in, as I'd rather spend money on my good starion...
