Hey guys, who knows of mechanics in the Appleton, Green Bay, Fox Valley area... If I have to I can get another reliable mechanic -- farther from home, then so be it. The mechanics I have now, don't have time or don't want to work on the engine rebuild, IF needed, they already have 3 engines to rebuild and don't have time. Jay from Little Chute (Tim & Jay's) don't mind working on GN #1 since it is mostly oil changes and spring summer tweaking.
I recently purchased 87 GN #2, with 89,888 miles, hardtop, looks like engine work will be needed. Currently in the process of acquiring exterior parts ($850 parts from Kirban Performance) to replace bumper fillers that need replacement, it will need new paint job, and I would like it to be daily driver, dependable, not sure where it will lead me. 87 GN #1 has 38,000 original miles and I purchased it new in Janaury 1988, so I have one garage queen t-top low mileage original.
GN #2 may need new turbo,
Paint required
Bumper fillers replaced
Interior work is not needed.
Headlight Bezels need to be replaced.
New Turbo may be needed, ta 49, chip, hot wire, 160 degree thermostat, scantool
What would top 20 or so be needed just to get to driving?
New tires and rims waiting until summer weather
What would be the best $6,000 to buy for 2008, paint can wait until next year, I wanted to paint after engine work is done.
Now the fun begins working on GN #2. I have set about $4,000 - $6,000 a side to spend on it for 2008 summer. The interior is in excellent condition after a good vac. The head light bezles need to be replaced, so I thought of using my used bezels from GN #1. I have 4 Keystone turbo rims and 4 BFG tires previously used on GN #1. It does not need to be show car, got one already. I want a fun GN hardtop daily driver.
What is the top 25 things to add, required
Chip, Scan tool, I can't think of the rest, Torque Strap, seat braces. I am tempted to buy flat bed trailer, but prefer driving GN #2.
