That is my old car - what do you want to know about it - would you believe that I could not even give it away at the time - 2 years ago.

I cannot remember when I bought the car - but was from a guy in Greenborough in about 1996 or so.

It hade globe wheels, retrimmed interior with scheel seats and Gas Research throttle body conversion.

I spent a bit on it putting in panhard rod and tramp bars, anti dive kit, koni's, volvo calipers, 16x7 Roh Wheels, Type 9 5 speed. At one stage it had gas turbo motor and I went to SFS in it. Another stage had a frank lowndes engine with twin 45's.

Spent a bit of time getting rust out of it (it did not have much).

Broke it via this forum and no one wanted the shell (check the archives) so rang that wrecker and told him to come pic it up.

Lincoln,

Thanks for your reply.I would love to have a chat to you about the car.Do you have any pics of it when you had it??

If you would like to pm me your phone number,i will give you a buzz if thats ok??

No problem.

I have pics somewhere but was pre digital camera age so will have to do some hunting.

The car was off the road for a very long time sitting in a barn - I reacon off road between 02 - 06 or so.

What are the plans for it?

I bare metalled the car inside & out & have just had a completed a respray.paintwork consisted of engine bay,inside boot floor etc & the undercarriage as well as the exterior.
I did all the bodywork at home,took it into work & applied the color there (for a job i manage a panel shop)Have a set of 15 inch V4 Simmons for it as well as a few other trick bits

Interior i have sourced & had retrimmed(scheel seats etc) and im currently gathering parts for the engine re-build.

I have taken pics of all the work right thru to this point.

Anyone know how i can access older posts i.e.the thread the car was originally in for sale???[?]

Ah I remember that one - I think I grabbed the clutch cable out of it when you were pulling bits off it Lincoln. The suspension is now in my RS - where it originally came from! (long story)
Good to see it still lives. Looked like a good shell worth saving back then ~Aug 2006

Thats the one Avon.

P.S. Chris - sorry about all the expanding foam I put under that rear shelf - bet that was a beach to remove.

Also was there ever anything wrong with the drivers side front guard - it never sat 100%.

That expanding foam was a nightmare![:u]
It took forever to get it off the parcel shelf & the inner wheel arches!

Yeah,the drivers side guard was a bit wonky.I couldnt get a decent gap to the drivers door so i un-picked the guard & moved it back to where it should have been. It might have been one of those Friday arvo jobs at the factory where they were in a hurry to get home.

I noticed the car has also had both rear quarter panels replaced to but it doesnt appear to have been from accident damage. Do you know anything about that??[?]

Do not know anything about the rear quarters mate.

Where are your pics?????????
