Well, After I destroyed my VK, I got a pretty sweet job as a Power Pole Inspector and bought myself a BF Fairmont Ghia. But since my girlfriend decided she wanted to live in Emerald and i was based in bundy, I decided to give her the car so she could drive around and take my daughter to various doctors appointments and other girly things that I don't understand. Unfortunatly this left me without a car, so I decided 'FUQ DAT, IMMA BUY MAH SELF A CAR I WANT'.
Since Bundy is filled with hoons, There are a lot of nice looking cars for sale. Sadly 90% of them are auto or have been thrashed to the **** house.
But every now and then a nice one stands out from the crowd. And in this case it was my Storm, when I first got i, it had 155,000 on the clock and had a pretty good service history till about 100,000k when it was bought by some young guy and had the **** thrashed out of it. The gearbox had a bad whine and the diff made a strange clunking sound.
So right after buying her, I took her straight to holden and had the gearbox and diff checked, both were shot to **** apparently. I wanted a second opinion and took her to my local mechanic who said the diff clunk was normal and was a little bit worn but wouldn't give out on my for a long while, the gearbox on the other hand was a goner.
So being a cheeky bastard I took the ute back and claimed it under stat warrantly. A new box went in all under warranty, and I thought while I'm at it I would throw in the HD clutch and solid flywheel and a full service.
