I had this car back in 2003, its done only 60.000km on it. Originally it runs the nissan RB20 motor. It was okay until someone run his car to the back of it and ruined the back end. I was about to propose to my girlfriend to marry me too.... bummer lol.... After the accident I thought might as well do some mods to it, since the back end already ruined. I had a ZZ4 350 chevy in the shed, was supposed to be for my WB ute project. cut the story short, the 350 VL project was shut down as the engine keep getting overheated ended up with a crack in the block. After that I swapped the car with my mates range rover classic. He then continue the journey of bringing the car back to life. after 3 years and a blown 308 motor, he finally got it right but ended up with the 253 motor. He came around one night and let me drive the car again... we made a deal afterwards that if he ever going to sell the car, I will be the 1st person to offer. 2 years from that I bought the car back from him. It was just sitting in his garage for the past 7 months. He move on to off road cars and decided that he need some cash to built a new off road car.
The car still need some work to make it mint, been working on it for a month now. It's coming together quite well.... really happy as I have a lot of memories with my wife in this car. This time it will stay with me forever....
Cheers for taking time checking it out
