That looks very nice...even your passenger side airbag cover isn't curling up...lucky f*#@er!!!

Great find. Is $7k really that expensive for a car in that condition ? I would prefer it to mattstatesman's missus VZ that's for sure. Esp with that colour. 138,000 kms over 15 years or 140,000 over 6-7 years...hmmmm.

Make sure you look after her....she's a keeper.

Cheers mate, and to think they were 38k when they were new, you really get a lot of car for just 7k. As for the airbag, first thing I did was buy a dash mat, hopefully try to prevent it from curling.

Have to agree a keeper see if you can get agreed value on it.
For mine it`s about $7200 I think.
Enjoy driving it.
Cheers Pete :beer chug:

Thanks mate

Not much of an update, but the CAS has been replaced a few months ago and unfortunately it got some hail damage :(

Some recent pics

Looks really nice man! I hate that colour, but this one looks beautiful!

Thanks mate, I used to hate the colour myself when I got it cause there was barely any sun light at the time so it looked more brown.

Nice s-pack you got there, looks clean as.

Yeah the sun makes cars look at their best.
Yeah I was lucky to find this S-pack. I've only seen about 3 around Adelaide. Including mine ;P

Took a stab at cleaning the engine bay, also fitted a CAI and a high flow panel filter recently, probably a waste of time though.

Hey mate it's been a while done anything to it?

Nah not much mate. I resprayed the engine cover as it had some scratches, got a close colour to the original silver. I'm also in the process of respraying the grille inserts, as one of them has started to peel.

I'm basically just cleaning it up rather than modding it.
