the only mods I've done to it is the stereo and I've got a growing list of things to do to it.
this is my first car that i actually own, previously drove my parents 87 corolla all the time, so this is basically my second car.
currently immobile and stuck on my driveway due to a seize fuel pump which left me stranded in a Mc Donald's carpark, when i got home i realise i could have kicked the fuel tank and driven it home.

nice ride, those are clubsport rims that have been polished. not replicas by the looks of them either. looks like you still got the original ignition leads on there. give her a full service, you'll be amazed how much better they run.

shes had the coil/leads/ignitor replaced before i bought it.
the guy said he got the holden sticker on the window for like $15NZD, its like an etched sticker.
she looks tidy under the bonnet, shame about the relay/fuse panel lid, time to go to the wreckers to get another one. i had considered getting a holden sticker accross the windsreen but i thing it would be a bit much on a white car
