a mate of mine got a bargin a little while ago
got this from a girl who drove it for 3 years and then it just stopped.....knew nothing about cars so called a wrecker and they said they would pay $300
my mate offered her $500 as is
he went to pic it up and put a brand new battery ib it and it fired right up, his been driving it for over 2 weeks now and it aint skipped a beat
5 brand new tyres and full service history only downfall is the interior was redone in 90s in a grey and is very 90s but the car is rock solid with no rust
rwc looks to be an easy one
SCORE reg till april |
Why the hell can't I find something like that , where are these people and cars !!!!!!! If your mate wants to sell it, I am happy to double his money |

i already offered 1500 on the spot thats 500 more than your offer and the reason you cant is because your starting budget is for a wreck, my mate was looking for a while and willing to spend upto 6000 but this one fell in his lap _________________ new t3c merch coming soon |

what have you guys been up to?
this rain is a bastard aint it
Only thing going around my neck of the woods is that I sold my drop spindles
still waiting for brakes to be even started and I havn't got pics of my nos stuff from Vic. been waiting over 1 year for these 2 haha progress.
looking and looking for bits I need but looks like its dried up ?, did get some laser cut stainless heater block of plates from Bert the other day but I also had 4 NOS brown door car screw caps, I didn't ask for those ah good ol Bert
got a boge NOS steering damper of ebay coz I was bored. how I have all three a leaky ISP, NOS good Brazilian Cofap and soon a boge.
Might shoot the ISP damper with a 308 next time the boys are over
Got good progress on the VP though. New rotors, calipers rebuilt kits (bought the last 2 PBR kits in the country) still I needed 4, New brake hoses, VS ecotec manual Police ECU plus a few T5 goodies thrown in the deal, NOS badge, NOS door hinge pins, NOS door lock tabs and escutcheons.
fun times! |
