We picked this gsx up for $600 last fall.
Story behind this. The po bought this off of a friend, he used it for a couple years. It ingested water and blew up. The po was not mechanically inclined. He found someone on craigslist that said he would pull the motor, and reinstall a motor for $500 in labor. So the po had the mechanic pull the motor. He then sent the motor out to be rebuilt. He gets the motor back and now the mechanic would not answer his calls and was never at the shop. 6 months later with the help of authorities he got his machine back. The po paid up front. Now he has a new motor and his machine. So he takes it to the dealer. They want $1500 to install plus more for some parts.
He was sick of it and needed it gone.
We show up, it is in a garage and the hull looks great, the motor is sitting on the floor. We could see new pistons and he had all the receipts showing his purchase.
We loaded it up and took it home where it sat covered in my back yard for months.
So first things first, clean up the hull
Some how I forgot to get pictures of the inside clean! I will get them tomorrow.
Now the outside. I know all you purist will hate this but decals are gone, with no suprise nos ones.
Also the rub rails are being drilled out. All purple is going away.
Purple selector gone and a black one put on
The hood came off. It is going to be painted black
Best 5.5 we have found. It is narrow enough to get to all the screws
It is a kobalt deep well 5.5
Hood off gauges out, ready to go get painted
Now she was buffed with just meguiars swirl remover and a foam pad
Insane reflections
This last decal may stay, most of the purple was trimmed off with a razor
The truck in that reflection is 50 ft away, the trees are at least 150 ft away, they are all the way across the end of our lot, and across a road!!!!
