I own an '88 GV. I bought it for $200, with a spare engine, a front suspension, back hatch, and other various parts. It runs great. I've done a lot of work to it to keep it going, but any 20 yr. old economy car that's been beat to hell would require as much. Sure its slow and the handling isn't the best, but for 200 bucks and about 400 more in parts I didn't already have it's been damn near the best automotive purchase I've ever made. Only beat by my '81 jetta.
I was hoping someone would be able to tell me how to lower the rear end on it. I know that you can put x1/9 struts up front to lower it 2", and I have heard that it just requires a couple of blocks in the rear, but I can't quite figure where I'm going to put them in that weird mono leaf spring thing.
