Here are some pics, there not great but it will give you an idea of how the car looks, it hasn't been washed for a week or two, so it looks a bit dirty, normally "shines" alot more. In this pic you can see the little bits of trim that is partly missing from the front (under the headlights) Pic of the engine bay showing coller piping etc. Front Quarter shot Rear Quarter Shot, you can see in this pic the color of the paint, the paint is the same color all over in the same condition Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

two tanks? how small is the tank?? Even with a 63 litre tank you should still get at least 9-10l/100km thats at 110kph. tank and a half max, drive it on low boost and cruise up the hume, too easy, takes about 10 hrs depending on where you are in sydney, liverpool will take about 9-9.5 hours, Melbourne to Bondi Junction was a ten hour trip.

11psi? that thing should be running 18psi. If tuned properly and cooled well (well duh look at the cooler!) that thing could be tweaked to really haul. Comon you slack ****s buy it.

Yes it has rego Furry Frog I ran 16psi on it one day, with the old turbo, the motor was fine, no pinging etc, the turbo didn't like it much though, it only lasted about half an hour Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

it was just a bit rough.. i saw it when it had a dead turbo on it, was going to swap it for my n/a calais.. but there was a lot of work to be had on it. bits of trim, boot bonnet were a bit shady. ect.ect. radiator hose was spurting out water after we took it for a drive... just a bit of work.. but since then i've heard its had all the mecanicals fixed.. so i'm sure it'd be a very good buy! just wasn't clean enough for my liking...

with all respect, i think you should just sell the damn thing regardless or just keep it. Its been on the ct market for far too long, with too many dreamers. Im sure if everything is fixed, trading post people will have more genuine interest.
