@losh1971 you have literally replaced it with a significantly more expensive car that needs even more expensive TLC. I get why you sold it cause I'd scrap this if I did the same. Sometimes nostalgia and hindsight can be a bitch though. Just keep spending money on your new pit like the rest of us stupid Holden owners :D

Better the pit you know, than buy something that nobody knows how to fix (new cars).
Oh that'll cost $10000.00 to fix, ok no choice, $10000.00 later & NO fix. NO PAY NO car!. ;) :) :cool:

Got another set of engine covers and had them repainted as I couldn't handle that crack any longer. Much :D

Phoar !!!

Forgot to tell you, inspired by your journey, I did it - bought my own ‘Roller’ coaster, 2000 Olympic Edition, Phantom Black, manual.

Note, fair dinkum, Tony Simmons 3-piece Simmons in 18s, unmarked - not yeah buds.
Haha that's awesome mate!

Looks really nice, I love the kit and lip! Also being thinking about putting the trim back on it myself. I love the bright red strip but god your chrome one makes me drool aswell.

Ks, cost price please?

Side skirts and front lip spolier were part of the Olympic Edition - was basically an SS with a different name.

Not sure what you mean by “Ks, cost price please?” sorry ?

What colour is that silver, it’s bloody perfect ? Painting the bananas black is a master stroke. I’d been contemplating doing mine a Candy red, just to be a bit different but seeing yours, maybe I don’t.

It has 220k kms on it. Chrome side strips, skirts and front lip spolier all came on it from factory.
Throw up a new ride thread. Be interested in more pics and a log of future progress
