Not if it's 1987 as he states. Also, he's missing the chrome trim at the back of the rear side windows, which is always a bit of a giveaway that it started as something cheaper. Thanks though.

What he doesn't show is a very rusty roof. Thanks. Are the U**-*** plates new in Victoria ? Looks like the new owner registered it but got sick of it in a hurry.

yeah mate i have a friend chasing them as soon as i hear ill send ya a pm if there genuine hope they are like he says..

U are relatively new. i think the vls were still around the c / d / f mark (my wagon is an f, skitzvk's sl is a d and my calais is a c)

I do Mick, but thanks. It's been on and off Ebay since September.

get stuck into it craig. looks excellent!

hey craig is the black around the lower bars at the right height car is looking great

Thanks Brandon. It should be but I haven't checked yet (haven't got the parts car back yet). Measurements were supposed to have been taken from the parts car which had original bumpers on it. As a rough guide, if you follow a straight line from the top of the side skirts to both the front and rear bumpers then it shouldn't be far off.

Hey everyone.. just thought I would see if there is any interest out there. I am thinking of selling my A9Y wagon. Not a genuine turbo, but converted with a proper A8 motor (stripped, cleaned etc etc etc) and also MX7 manual box. Car has been stripped to bare metal and resprayed in maroon. The car is one of the straightest you will find.. 10ks worth of body work and paint! Engine bay is completely smoothed off and rails boxed. New front and rear seats. Car is being assembled slowly. engine is in, just bits of interior and mouldings need to be put on, windows in and thats it. As i said, i thought i would post in here to see if anyone might be keen on it as is, or when its assembled. I am really keen on getting it gone to be honest, ive got another car in mind thats become available so selling this would mean i can get it.. which is what I want. Thanks everyone!

Its just a rare car to strip down to a bare shell with only 200 being built, but good luck with it whatever you do...
