My 87 GXL and its ongoing evolution...

Well, I havent posted much on here despite owning rotaries constantly for the last decade. So I figured its time for my broke ass budget build...

First things first... Last summer I had a lifted 85 Toyota pickup, that I had bought stock and built it to the teeth. After offroading one night the frame snapped behind the cab. I decided to repair it, which I did, and I decided I wanted something else. Preferably something a little more fuel efficient, as I was lucky to get 15 mpg out of it. And I used to have an FC a few years ago, I have always had FB's (one of which I have had non-stop for nine years!) Anyway I was searching for many, many different kinds of cars, and one day I turned up an ad for a running, and driving 1987 GXL for 1K! I went an saw the car, and after some negotiating drove it an hour home for $700! Brace yourself for the before pics!













Totally BONE stock! I told myself I would fix it up, leave it mostly stock and just drive it... Well... I just cant leave anything alone...

More updates on the way!
