  • Changing an L- to a GL

    I have currently started upgrading my 93'L- to a GL with the help of a few good friends and a junkyard. I swapped out the back hatch with one from a GL I found in a junkyard...I couldn't get the power steering unit off of it be for they crushed it...grrr...,but I did swap out a door and upgraded to a back hatch with defrost and a wiper(on a side note it was horrific trying to get the hose through the C pillar, but after I found an electricians wire fisher I was able to pull some string up through the C pillar and over to the center hole at the top of the hatch, then tie the hose to the wire using some Über elaborate knot skills, and pull it through). Now I have a working rear wiper!! Yea me!!...anyhoo I plan on doing an aspire swap when I fix the tranny, are there any other upgrades that you guys would insist on me doing?

    I would say if youre going to make it a TRUE GL then you should read this.


    And anything that wouldve been standard on a GL should be on your car. At least then youd have a standard optioned GL. After that I personally would add the things that I wouldve gotten on it if I went to the Dealership and ordered it myself. Because things like the spoiler and stripe dont necessarily mean its a GL. Mine doesnt have either, yet there it is in my drive a 93 GL, no spoiler ,no stripe.
