Yea, think its a bit to much of a gamble buying a car like that in a non running state. Wiring issue could be like opening a can of worms. Anyone know this car? Seems pretty well priced for what it is, has got the gtst box e.t.c. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-550389227.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/holden/auction-550389227.htm)

Young fella owns it, not a 'boy racer' whos thrashed it though. hes done alot of work to it, got alot of good gear on it. He bought it with the motor in the boot and built it up. ---------- Post added 10-01-13 at 04:59 ---------- [QUOTE=gasguzler;2987302]Yea, think its a bit to much of a gamble buying a car like that in a non running state.

Ha I used to own that wagon, I think before you. I repainted it and put those wheels on. It was an ok wagon not that powerful. I ended up swaping it for ht kingswood.

interesting setup http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-549380760.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/holden/auction-549380760.htm)

Would be fun car to drive once its running. Be interesting to see if this " $1 reserve" auction will go the distance or get pulled like all the others. ---------- Post added 10-01-13 at 18:34 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by jet308 [View Post] Ha I used to own that wagon, I think before you.

Cheap vl calais wheels plus tyres https://touch.trademe.co.nz/listing/view/549380760

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=551781065 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=551781065) one of the aussie boys selling the front and rear Scheels. that rear is so sweet. price would leave an itch though. also is it just me or do the head reats look odd, seem small or the top of seat is too big? seem to sit funny.

^ i read that and thought a couple of grand. choked on my lunch when i scrolled down

yeah your not wrong man. think he's dreaming to think someone in NZ or maybe even oz is going to pay that, plus what it would cost to get them here would hurt as much, although he allows "pick ups" haha

Sorry only a listing no. Listing #675272053 But with this what's the access like to brake and clutch masters? Anyone no?

I'm sure someone on here had a similar strut brace, and from memory it clears everything except for the fuse box - I think it sits above the lid, but not with enough space for you to remove the lid without releasing one side of the brace - shouldn't really be a problem as there is a bolt on each side to allow for adjustments
