Deaty's GTS Project

[Deaty]

Hi all! I recently picked up an '85 GTS from a great guy named Colton (if you're reading this, thanks for the car!) in Kentucky for a pretty decent price.

The car itself is an original GTS, but somewhere down the line, someone swapped in an SR5 rear end. It has the original 4AGEC and T5. So far, I've got it to run like a top and kind of limp around the yard with no brakes and dry-rotted tires. Some positives are the electronics, which all work (minus the radio, which it doesn't have! ) including the lights, gauge cluster, and even the cigarette lighter!

Some of the downsides to the car is obviously the SR5 rear end. It also has some spare tire well rust, which is only in the wheel well. It did need a fuel pump, which was replaced just yesterday, and whoever put in the SR5 rear end forgot several brake components. Thank god I picked up a double-flaring kit and some brake line fittings.

Anywho, I'll embed some photos in my next post, and give you guys a run-down/explanation of this great car!
