For starters, some of you guys might remember my posts earlier this summer with my silver '84 GS that had been sitting 4 years.. she's close to running, but needs a carb and brake work.. here's what I've got to ask:

Since she needs a new carb, I'm thinking of just skipping the step and putting a Holley Street Port Intake Kit in... from Racingbeat.com . But can you put a street ported carb on if your car hasn't been ported yet? are there any adverse affects? I figure I'll put it on to get her running, then street port her later.

And does anyone know a place near Ottawa/Montreal/Toronto where you can get your engine exterior cleaned and shiney for auto shows?

I dont' know what other problems I'm gonna run into, but I'm trying to save 3000$ canadian by May (when I get out of school for summer).. hopefully that'll cover intake kit, brakes, and anything else that could come along.. like the rad.. When I look inside, there's white gel on the elements, and when I took some rad hoses off, there was a powder inside, alot of antifreeze, but powder... hmm... bad sign...

Anyways. Any comments are welcomed.

Oh, and how about putting a pair of 8's in the compartments behind the seats? do-able? or not?

A few people have put two 8" In the back near the lights, but i put a single 12" Sub where the Bins used to be. So yes, its very do-able

you don't have the carb for rebuild? I would go this route first, that way It would be inexpensive and you could still drive your 7 around untill you save up for everthing else you want.

I have the carb for rebuild, I even managed to get the bugger out (that last bolt that the Heynes says "will take a certain degree of patience"..... they weren't kidding). Anyway..... I think the cost of getting someone to rebuild, adjust and install it, and then getting the holley installed when I finally get it.... I should probably just skip the step.

I was thinking the bins behind the seats because I wanna put another set of mid-range speakers in the back to help the trebel get through.. the ones by my feet probably woudn't cut it with big subs.

sweet looking ride, man
How did you get the rear so low? is it just that you have 16's?
