Here from Kaukauna, just purchased 87 GN #2 Hardtop
Hey guys, who knows of mechanics in the Appleton, Green Bay, Fox Valley area... If I have to I can get it 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.
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.
