Picked up a new car today $2755. So cheap for what ive got. Very straight, rear bar could do with a spray but not reallynnecessary.

Dirty as in photos will clean and detail it and throw some better photos up.

Big plans for this one. Goal is built everything with 600rwhp set up as street car. Deffinatley want to keep all the creature comforts...aircon etc. Chose au because they have all the right parts to start with....bottom end, tickford head, irs, and the buildable BTR. Not to mention brake options etc. and interiors in the ghia are plush as...

Looking at full urethaine bush kit from super pro, some xyz coilovers, whitline sway bars. After that im stealing the missus fg xr6 turbo 18's and putting the 330mm brakes on the front with good rear rotors and srt pads all round. Figure I want to set this up first before achieving hp.

Cheers

Is it a series one? Bit harder to upgrade the brakes if it is.

Looks pretty decent, the au ghia interiors are definitely a nice place to be
