It is always worth taking a look.
This GLS will most likely be a 1984-1985 car so some parts will be interchangeable with yours.
I would guess that it has a lot more in common with the KL police cars.
Life is a journey, so sit back and enjoy the ride!

I went there today and found it!! It has sunroof. Really nice, but nobody home. Inspect from outside only. Looks ok a bit rust below bumper..rim from bmw. Tail light different from mine. Bumper looks different too. Dashboard the same. Different steering. I don't know if it can be start. Will visit again a few more days, maybe in afternoon. I think this is individual import car. But it's RHD. Will update later.

Hi guys, actually mate, I tried to slot in the rear bumper but bracket is too small. It's ok, i'll try to source it locally. Last week, I replace the steering coupling, and turn the sway bar to it's correct position and the result, the steering feels much lighter, maybe I don't PAS after all. :D . But in the future if I found one mac, i'll buy it. The GLS, still not check it.

Hi All, i'm in KL now. But there is some mishap, my cousin was admitted into hospital, heart attack at early age. Have to wait until he's fully recovered.

Sorry
