Very excited, just bought this:
 I got it for what I think is a good price, considering the km's and the options. Ive already booked all the flights and boat ride back ($850, sheesh) to go pick it up from Melbourne. Tell me what you think, he's taken out the red stripe but to be honest I think it looks better that way. Im thinking of putting side stripes right down the bottom sort of like b series gt's, anyone seen that done before? Its a huge relief to own a 160,000km car compared to the taxi I bought a month ago with 650 on it. So, about $7000 by the time I get it, a steal, considering 12 months reg, new tyres, tickford rims, cruise, power windows and red momo wheel.    Looking forward to owning a nice car again. Very excited. |

Looks hot and a very nice colour, shame about the series 1 brakes though. Got many plans for it? |

Auto going by the last pic. In the bottom left and edge you can just see the T-bar. Nice looking car.

Thanks for the nice words. Planned mods are: slotted rotors and new pads, and thats about all it needs. It already has an exhaust and tinted windows and everything else I would have done. Im thinking about buying a 2nd radio surround to paint and keep the original in the shed.

Great buy dude! Do you plan on keeping the tow bar? You should really consider getting series 2 tail lights they look so much better the the 1's. Cheers.
