my starfire vc. life and death.
hello all. just thort id show u all my pride and joy. she was a 1980 vc 1.9 litre auto. with a freshly rebuilt engine. i got it off a bloke down the road from me for 500 big ones. the body was full of dents but no rust. i jst bought it as an everyday cheap runner. but 1 thing led 2 anotha. i really jst cleaned it all up . redid the interoir with new carpet . put 6 cylinder front struts and diff in 2 run the bigga wheels . lowered it a bit. cleaned up the engine bay . put a stereo in. a heap of little things.
i spent ages at the wreckers lookin 4 bits. i loved this car 2 bits. i had it 4 less than a year and did bout 40 000 k in it. with out a prob. apart from the rear springs falling out on a few occasions. ill put up some more piks soon

sweet, those little starfires are a bloody strong motor, my oldman had one for donkeys years, couldn't kill the damm thing, and believe me i tried. pity you have already re-built the motor as there is a cheaper way to re-build one that not many now of, believe it or not it's cheaper to buy all 173 components than it is to buy the starfire bits, yet there exactly the same, you just end up with spares of some of the internals.

yea they jst keep goin ay. i use 2 take the poor old thing to 6500grand, for no reason really, it didnt make any more power.the previous owner got the engine rebuilt so it didnt cost me anything. i managed 2 kill it tho. i crashed it into a powerpole.that 57kw of raw power was to much to handle.lol.ill post some piks up wen my mate shows me how.

I just had to ask, the inside rear spring wasn't laying back on the road mid way around that corner was it. I don't understand how you still have your legs after that crash? Pretty lucky!
ha yer, i drove past him like 30 seconds before the crash, gave him a wave all sweet, 3 mins later i get a call from another mate saying theres a yellow vc wreaked on that road. im like hmm how many yellow vc's would be traveling on that road at that time lol....anyways in a panic i rushed back jumped outa the car ran around the corner and saw it, he'd already been dragged out and left in the ambulance, i thought he was dead 4 sure...1 in a million chance u lived ey.
need to go on a cruise when u fix the vl up mount nebo
What road was it on?
