I've just picked up this 86 gle thats had only one owner. Its nz new and Is very tidy even at 369,000kms looking to lower it and get some nice wheels

2.0l manual
360 GLE

Really epic work saving that one. They've nearly all rusted away around here or maybe they keep better upside down ;-0

Welcome to the forum

2nd pic looks gorgeous, is it in Canterbury?

Is a headlight wiper blades missing? You can buy them on ebay for about £8 guessing postage to NZ would be the same again.

Great pic! Doesn't look like it's done 350k km's at all!

@360beast thanks it's down near Canterbury, Omarama a couple hours out of wanaka. Cheers will be restoring it once I get it home to Auckland

It's spent it's life in the central South island so next to no rust! Couple bubbles on the sunroof @bogbasic

Didn't see it on trademe. Did you get it privately?

Yeah my mum lives in wanaka and her neighbor decided to sell @logan360

Mind if I ask what you paid for it? Looks like $1000-1200?

I went through Omarama in February this year, I was on my way to Twizel. Absolutely gorgeous place although driving a "slammed" 325 bmw wasn't the best as my head hit the roof three times!

Pfffffff restored, just needs a polish

Yeah such a nice place especially in winter. Plan is to find some nice wheels and get this thing lower

Hi mate and welcome.
You upside down people can find some cracker motors lol. Good luck from Belfast Norn Iron lol.
Cheers Mark.

We either have good ones, or completely horrible ones. There is no in between. I usually get the broken ones from around me and part them out to save the others I've got one under the knife at the moment

Payed $1200 for it. Will be in touch when I find out what parts I'll need. Any ideas on rebuildig the engine ? (Cost) Leaking a bit of oil at the moment.

Not worth it. Just give it to me find out where its leaking. If its a sump gasket then that's piece of Piss. Front crank seal is quite a bit more intense.
