given it was stolen it might have had a good engine beforehand but who knows what abuse it had with the joyride

I put an absentee maximum bid on it as I was travelling when the auction was on, no idea what it sold for. I had a quick look at it that morning. it had an EMS exhaust manifold and side mount but not really any other goodies, a fair bit of dodgy wiring. standard brakes, average wheels with 205 all round, stock suspension, maybe with lowering springs. I thought it was a gen3 going by the inlet manifold but had AFM which I think the gen3 doesnt have. would have been someones pride and joy, maybe the previous owner picked it up?

Car lived in Hobart, someone stole it and burned it to hide finger prints and other DNA stuff. apparently has good engine. i have bid on this car, but didnt get it so dont expect a super bargin. They are trying to get as much as possible and probably think its worth more then it is.

Been on fire a bit, hard to tell what was on fire, dash and drivers side is burnt, outside drivers side roof burnt, rear qrt smashed, drivers door and window and windscreen look damaged on inside but not outside so i guess fire was just under the dash, door or floor? As in dosent look like it was parked in a garage on fire or engine fire

yes I was thinking the same thing. I rang pickles today, they wont allow the car to be started, its their policy now so I wouldnt be able to do a compression test on it.

It lightly resembles one I remember, but the interior doesn't match. Probably not it. Good to see if there's any engine goodies.
