When I brought her in June 2011 she was immaculate with only 155,000k's. She was completely stock with a 2 1/2" cat back exhaust that had a 3" hot dog that had a rumble that always brought a smile to my face.
She was part of the XR6 and XR8 club of qld for 12 months and a bit of a show pony.
I kept her stock for the first 12 months as I was determined to keep her in as original condition as possible as there wasnt many XR's around in that good of condition. Then I met my partner and with a bit of determination showed me what she could look like with EF tail lights, no rear wing, chrome handles and a bit more low.
This is a pic of her on super lows all round.
The only other changes i made to her was the XR slimline weather sheilds and I installed a Pioneer system with 2 12" subs.
On the 17th of December I was hit by a Toyota Hilux at 70klms at a set of traffic lights and my beautiful girl was written off. It was the worst day of my life. Unfortnatley the insurance company thought that she was too old to repair. The hilux inflicated $6500+ damage to her. It managed to push the boot up, fold the boot floor, dent the fuel tank, destroy the rear bar, fold the c pillar and push the doors together on the right hand side.
So I decided that if they were going to write her off there was no way I was going to part with her. Instead of her sitting there doing nothing, the idea was thrown at me to reshell her into another car....
