hello all. im picking up my second s12 here tomorrow, and will be doing a bunch of research in the next while here so i can likely swap it over to a ka24de(possibly T in the future). one of my biggest issues with this is the only swap i have done, had a conversion harness. im not the best with wireing, actually to be blunt, im awful. i own a multimeter which i called a voltage tester for two years, lol.
anyways, about the car. im paying way too much, because there arent any really around. im hoping to get it for around $1700. the paint is faded, but rust seems minimal, also it has the ca18et and a 5speed in it. it seems to be mostly stock, im just a tad affraid of the gremlins that will soon come to light once i get to know her. but i guess thats what its all about, right guys?
my first gazelle i had bought in semi running condition, at the age of 18. eventually the parents told me it had to go, as i really never had any plans of doing anything to it, even though i loved it so. eventually, i found it in a scrap yard, where it diddnt last long. it was n/a, smoked like nobodys business, and needed a clutch badly.
im not sure what my plans for this car will be, but i can say this, ive been waiting for one of these for 7 years, and its finally my time to have one again. im very excited! now, i have to get it ready for the winter fun thats soon to come, and look for a swap! come spring id just like it to have enough power that i can have a little more fun with it, and not have to worry about it all the time. i hope this car turns out to be solid! im bringing a friend who knows more about what can be fixed, and what shouldnt be touched because of complications. im so excited its likely as i take it for a test drive ill buy it on the spot, which is a terrible thing, and ive done it before on a complete lemon. so, wish me luck! ill post back in a couple days with my results.
