How are we all? I'm a new member so i thought i would share my pride and joy with you all. It's a silver BT1 SL Sedan, i got this car off my dad who has had it since pretty much brand new. It had been the family car for almost 16yrs, and in that time has traveled around Australia once. This is what it used to look like. I'm now 18 but when i first turned 17 and scored the car me and my dad started throughing ideas back and forward. I decided the old paint had to go. The car as it is now. Minor upgrades went by until i turned 18 then i went full on, Avo stage 1, 3" Exhaust, Pod filter, Boost gauge. Unfortunly my mistreatment of the old family car, turned bad. The head had gone and when they opened her up you could tell she had done over 500k. So now the car has a new engine, Re-Raced Turbo, water pumps etc, and i've just scored a stage 2. I will update when i add more stuff. What do you guys think?? Cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
