    Default [nsw] Injected 5L UC Torana Hatch, found a ute.

    Putting the feelers out for anyone interested in swapping their ute, HQ-VR/VS prefer V8 on gas but will consider anything rego'd and drivable within NSW. Straight trade or ute with cash. More details on my rana can be found at cardomain http://www.cardomain.com/ride/606393. With petrol prices the way they are it's not a real economical car to drive to work and back anymore (60k round trip) It is a UC SL hatch, fitted with VP injected 5L, rego'd and engineered for NSW. Rego expires late october. I currently have the hatch lid off for repairs to a 5 cent piece sized rust spot in hatch seal channel that was leaking when it rained. If sold it will be sold as is, I wont bog up and paint over to hide cancer, That really pisses me off but anyway... Inside hatch pillers are perfect suprisingly! No other visable rust. It is currently fitted with the 17 x 7.5 titans as per photo's (engineers report had 16 x 6.5's). Droptank is included and fitted (also not mentioned in the engineers report), Rod shop chassis strenghthening rails fitted, Full VDO custom instrument panel, colour is Carrabean Torquoise Metalic. Any questions or extra photo's required let me know, stevek1@aapt.net.au or 0407871667. BTW i am in Orange NSW.

    It isn't what you'd call bad but I suppose I'm just comparing it to my mini cooper s, it's great fuel economy but it seems silly driving a 50 thousand dollar car to a minesite on a country road about 60 km away per day dodging potholes and kangaroos! Its gunna turn pear shaped soon I think. I wanna get rid of both cars and get a V8 ute on gas.

    Ive found a ute so the rana must be sold, $7000 firm (what the ute will cost). Roughly adding up this this owes me about $15000. If not sold I will have to start stripping for parts and I really don't wanna do this. Car is regestered and drivable till the end of the month so it needs to go before it has to be trailered. I can deliver within a reasonable distance at buyers expence. I can get 12 months rego for an additional cost. I'm gunna put it on ebay this weekend so I thought i'd give you guys/gals first dibs!

    I have a VS S2 ute with Ecotec V6 and factory 5 speed with 111,XXX GENUINE logbooked k's I might be interested in swapping? Unless you already have purchased a ute and are looking at now just selling your car.
    The very existance of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to do it.
