Hello all. I just recently purchased an '87 Grand National, again. It's been over 20 years since my last. Now married with a couple of boys I/we are ready for a special car. Purchased from an older couple that have held the car since '97. A wonderful couple which i will have the pleasure to drive to their home so they can visit with their ol' girl as the changes unfold. Last time car was permitted on the road was 2007. Only moved for circulation.
The car will be going in for certification next week. As of now, service performed was new plugs, cleaned TB & MAF sensor, changed oil to Mobil1 synthetic. Still need to change fuel filter. Getting new tires put on the original rims. Original rims have seen better days but i'd rather them than the existing. I'm in no rush but if anyone knows of a steel wheel refinishers for the GN wheels i'd appreciate it.
Upgrades are, larger injectors (unknown size, O/O does not remember), front mount intercooler (unknown brand), FP regulator, upgraded fuel pump. tie down strap and boost gauge. Transmission shifts hard, I assume it was rebuilt in the past.
I look forward to meeting you all and exchanging thoughts and opinions on this beautiful passion we all share. Hope to be part of that awesome group at the Oshawa Autofest one day.
I'll start thanking you all now because i have A LOT of question. lol
