You might have seen it on eBay - 1986 2.8 injection - I got it 4 $5000 - registered and all. I drove it down from Brisbane the other day - really went well - 1768 k's - the longest trip ill bet the old girls ever had!
Strip it down Saturday, rust being welded up Sunday, Monday & Tues - prepping the body.... & the following week - I hope - in 4 a re-spray!

The guy gave me 2 NOS guards & an apron with it (& a few other juicy bits..)

It was a good trip - a lot of people r still keen on them - nearly every time i stopped people came up to look at it. The injection V6 is really tractable - smooth - it ran sweet. I hate to strip it down but there is enough rust to demand a respray - but - this time Im not going to hang around - get it done realllll quick like!

Same colour/ same decals - only a couple of minor mods.......

NIce car . Not going to keep it ? Hope you sell it to a respectable new owner..

No - Im keeping it!

Looks like a fantastic buy for $5k!!

If I had of seen it I would have given you a bit of competition.

Enjoy, and look forward to some more photos after you have her painted.

Stripped the pass side guard off (rusty) - Im really lucky here - no rust at all to the bulge btn the wheel arch & door - only 2 minor patches required - one the back of the head light bucket & one on the vertical face to the inner guard - up top - very clean

Nice buy Spud. "When you get one you want more"[^]

What about the blue Mk1 in the background of those last pics, looks interesting.
