Good morning all!

Stephen from sunny Leeds, Alabama and I am on the journey to get my 3rd gens back to glory!

I recently bought a full race spec 84' GTS trunk car (slung a rod and needs rebuild) that also came with another 84 GTS hatch car (been parked and stored for years). I am still learning the lingo and I have very little info on the hatch car until its delivered to my house.

My plans are to repair the track car and get to playing on the tarmac (Lemons racing and track days). As for the street car, it will need repair, updates, and will likely be a "gambler" car to play with.

All that said, I love motorsports, tinkering, and building projects to yield smiles per mile. I'll attach some pics of the race car and look forward to updating the progress!
