red one will be stripped and scrapped/sold now, see above link for any updates.
yep,the time has come for me to buy another car, and this time, something different, a 1980 e21 318i bmw
ok, so its not really gonna be another project... just yet.
for now, i will get it registered and dad will drive it to work and such, as a daily, and i can rehone my manual driving skill in it, as none of the commodores in the house are manual.
just going to clean it up, fresh lick of factory red paint on it and maybe some nice wheels. still undecided on lowering it, as its irs and the wheels already sit on a fair angle, and well, it looked quite good on the road at its current height.
will drop a different motor into it next year, turbo,unsure what yet, i have a few ideas though.
update, some brighter pics in the sun.
now for the bad, the rust
cracked dash, doesnt worry me, but ill replace it if i find a cheap good one, and not too bad interior, need new seats though.
stone chips galore, will give it a fresh lick of the factory red later on
dash and wheel, the wheel had a red pad on it, looked crap. gotta change the wheel anyway, grips getting loose
engine, 1.8ltr bmw m10 i think, mechanical injection, dodgy pod filter, extractors fitted at some stage!!
i whacked a new dizzy cap, rotor, leads and plugs in, runs 10 times better than when we picked it up. will drop some fresh oil and filters in it next week
