i just bought this little bastard off an old lady yesterday for 850 dollars im looking to do it up. Just looking for peolpes oppinions on what to do first.... Its just the stock SL engine

[ari666]

spark plugs
leads
rotor button
air filter
fuel filter
oil+oil filter
wiper blades
clean the lenses on the headlights and tail lights
fix the rust around the back window (lol)
change brake fluid, pads rotors
tyres
bushes/ball joints
shock absorbers
flush the cooling system
replace the trans fluid and filter
check all seals, gaskets etc change if necessary
put a kit through the carby and give it a good tune.


THEN ask about modifications

[mjhVBhoonadore]

thanks ive done some of that already
any ideas on what to do now ?

[ari666]

some, or all?

[mjhVBhoonadore]

most
all i need to buy a pair of wiper blades and a new air filter because its not going to be worth cleaing the current one
theres no rust at all which was quite a surprise it looks as if its been kept indoors for 30 years . .
im looking to do a whole new exhaust system any advice that might help ?

First mod on the list would have to be HEI dizzy, coil, leads and plugs from VC-VH blue motor.
Also the the power supply to the coil has to be modded so the coil see constant +12V.

[ari666]

actually, while your hooking up a relay for the coil, it couldnt hurt to stick a couple in for your headlights too.

anyways, once you have done all the tuning and safety items, personally i would move on to suspension. neolathane bushes, especially the sway bar links and sway bar to chassis bushes, youll be surprised how much they tighten up your cornering, then some nice king lowering springs and lowering shocks.
