hi guys got this yesterday i think its a good buy its a 5 speed berlina, paint is good and body is pretty straight. It needs a few things but it has potential, prob just use it as 'another' daily lol Im trying to decide wether to paint all the bumpers n moulds asteroid silver or mx grey, tuff choice. And ive definately gotta bin the clear tail lights lol Tell me what u think Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Very nice pick up for $700 How many KMs? Any problems with driveline? The MX Grey will be mint with that paint me thinks Now i know i speak for everyone when i say smash those taillights with a hammer once you replace them get VK or VL berlina lights and dump them on Another idea: since your missing some locks, upgrade to keyless entry (if not already fitted) and shave the locks off then again might be too much hassle if you intent it to be a daily Check my car thread out: the awesomely boring daily Again very nice pick up Mark Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok few more specs, it has had a new engine put in and the kms were reset to xero at the time, speedo now shows 73'000. Driveline is perfect no noises from box clutch is perfect no slippage and diff seems fine too. It doesnt have rego and needs a blue slip but it really doesnt need anything to pass. It has a little rust under front screen, the rear screen and boot area is immaculate. Paint on the roof is faded. I think im just gonna spray the roof, bin the tail lights, get some rego and maybe sell it.... i dunno yet lol
