Picked up some FB's....what to do, what to do

Over the last few weeks, and mostly while out of town for work, I picked up a couple of FB's. It has been a while since I have owned one, I think I sold my '82 5 or 6 years ago.

One is a 1985 GS, 120K, runs good, interior is so-so (missing door panels) and has a wonky front fender. I have not seen this car in person yet. I found it in North GA, and had my father in law pick it up for me. That was about 2 weeks ago, maybe I can go get it this weekend.

The 2nd is a 1984 GSL with no engine and is a mess (it does have 2/3 of the IMSA wing, lol). All I plan to do with this is loot the LSD disc rear end, front fender and a few other parts. Then jfaplanet is taking it to swap over a drivetrain and get it back on the road.

Currently I am looking at a bunch of options. Do I RE-Speed it out with all the big brake/5 lug conversion? Do I swap in GSL-SE bits and then do suspension upgrades?

Don't know yet, still working on some deals on parts For now, I have procured the RB Holley kit, stripping all emissions, and am working a deal for an entire interior.

Looking for an entire exhaust system and some other bits too. Hopefully this will be at DGRR. If I can find time to do any of this!!

The $$$ items may have to wait until I sell the Z3.

Any suggestions? (besides throw out the 12a.....I'm looking at you Brian)
