my logic exactly hehe. whats the best section to put the pics, etc in??

i think the prices of N/A vl's jumped up coz that turbo law kicked in

yep that could explain it... they really arent cheap, if i thought i was being ripped off i wouldnt have bought it! anywho, wheres a good place to start a thread about my car? i ttried posting in the readers rides section, but it dissappeared (maybe waiting for approval??) cheers guys

congrats mate all the best with it, dont listen to any one who wants to bring you down as long as your happy with the car, regardless if you paid 20 bucks or 20 thousand... By the way, even if you did find a cheap turbo the wallet would pretty much stay empty thanks to insurance and more things potentially stuffing up on a 20 year old car. Post some pics up if you can

okidoki.. well heres some pics i took yesterday! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks good mate. Looks like you have everything there too. Good stuff. Congrats.

even the mudflaps

yep couldnt be happier with it! got all the power windows working perfectly now, just needed a grease and the wires had to be put into the correct order. The body doesnt have a single scratch or imperfection anywhere, and it drives like its brand new! loving it

nice, make sure you get an alarm/insurance

Looks absolutely mickey man!!

yeh booked it to get an alarm on monday.. and i got fire & theft on her as well ... haha ive heard way too many horror stories of vl's gettin stolen to take any risks!

perhaps look into full comprehencive dude. I mean you paid top dollar for it, you dont want to write it off and have nothing to show for it.

looking good man congrats....needs the lil holden badge under the left headlight...rare spares $25
