Well after selling my silver calais ive been driving a little diahatsu feroza

The car is not as clean as it looks in the pics
needs all the interior cleaned which i can do at work,

Mick wtf is those silver spats and granny rug? The car is sweet, the rocker cover needs a shiny coat of red though.
Try to keep the dash original with the cassette player if you can, they are becoming rare in working order.
after the old one with me looking over my shoulder every time i drove it i wanted something that wouldnt stand out ,
the tape player works sweet and SO DOES THE AIR CON , FAN SWITCHES AND SETTINGS
the only vl i have had that the aircon and fan works
my spray guns arrived here today
going good apart from it caught on fire on the way home from town on sunday arvo one of the injector o rings was ***ed and yeh started missing so i pulled over and then it started smoking peeked under the hood and thought oh **** ! tried to put it out with my good jacket didint work screwed my jacket and burnt the **** out of my fingers , sent me mate to a house , lucky some bloke whistled and threw a bottle of water.
the spark plug lead is melted ,injector plug and the aac plug and a few random hoses are stuffed , but ripped it all off and got the injectors out fixed the plugs and injectors and got it going again on sunday night so i could get to work today MISSION ! lucky i didnt have to watch it burn to the ground
also selling the exhaust looks really dirty in the above pic but it is almost brand new
worth about $299 pete from newie mufflers recon
selling cheap $$
trans cooler in now on , i cant belive how hot it gets , was steaming the water splash today after driving it. its a craig davies 6cyc model
got my spray guns ! $40 bucks off ebay bargain
should have a cooler kit lined up in the next week or so
