I installed the brake ducts yesterday. I had to really work them back in shape before I painted them. They were severely bent. Overall they finished better than I would have thought. The lower fender brackets that were installed on the car when it was painted were off a 1983 and were different. The 1984-85 cars have brake ducts but the 1979-83 cars do not. The brackets are just slightly different than the older ones, they have an extra tab with welded nut to accommodate the duct.
I finished up most of the undercoating. I cleaned and degreased the underside of the car so the undercoat would stick. I used DUPLI-COLOR™ Professional Undercoat and Sound Eliminator.
Hi Chris. Great pics. Would you be able to help me out and take a side on pic of the rear lower swing arm body mounts. I have 82 rx7 rally car and are looking for better grip and the gsl-se has this mount 20mm lower which helps reduce antisquat which I am looking for but having alot of trouble finding a workshop manual that shows a pic or a car pic of the mount. No true gsl-se cars made it to australia… thanks Steve
Steve, I’ll get you some good pics this week. I agree about there not being any good information on the 20mm difference. I can say for sure that it does actually make a difference. I had an ’83 before this car.
