    Another GLH

    Here are some photos of GLH #2. 1986 GLH Turbo with a DC intercooler kit.
    It needs some atention, but has a lot of potential. Just giving it a bath made things look a ton better. I'm working on replacing the hardware store plumbing connectors and sorting out the vacuum lines in time for SDAC.
    The wheels are going away tomorrow. To be replaced with a set of pizza wheels painted black.

    I'm selling the wheels to offset other costs on this car.
    They could be yours.

    Two pair. The GLHS in the corner is ours, so are the two GLH Turbos. The GLHS heading out the door belongs to a customer. We put our shift linkage on it along with a moly bearing plate, a differential truss and a new clutch.

    Swapped the wheels and got it running again. Here are some photos of the old intercooler connectors that were replaced with silicone. also some photos of the car with it's new wheels. They give it that Knight Rider look.

    We have the new headliner installed and the interior panels refinished.
    The scoop arrived yesterday. It covers the hole in the hood nicely.

    $10 hood to replace the butchered one.
    Got the injectors back from Mr. Injector. Now I just need some free time to work on this one.

    Re: Another GLH

    catching up on a few build threads

    shouldn't the hood scoop face forward directing cold air on the intercooler (wrx style) instead of facing rear and drawing hot under hood air through the intercooler

    It'll draw cool air cowl induction style. That is how the scoop sold by direct connection for this kit was.

    Re: Another GLH

    I've been Trying to get around to putting floors in this one since we tore it apart last summer. I thought we would get it done over last winter, but that didn't happen.
    Now the Cuda is off to the paint shop so I have some room to work on this GLH.
    The driver's side floor is done, Tomorrow I'll start on the passenger side. Funny thing with this car is that there's no other rust, just the two front sections of floor.
    For once I planned ahead. I saved the templates I made when I did the floor in GLH #1. Saved a lot of time on this one.

    The old pics were hosted on Apple's Mobile Me. Apple closed that, so all the photos hosted there are gone.
    I re-posted the important ones.
