Full service logbook history.

Not a thing mechanically wrong with the car. (been checked out numurous times, services, road worthy etc, and by mates)
Just needed bushes done.


Patience was a virtue for me on this baby. It took me almost a year of looking around for a car. I really did my homework and worked the private market. I spend my money wisely. I was not going to settle for something just because i thought "Eh, it's ok".
I found this baby on eBay. The guy I bought it off was a top bloke. Really informative and was very understanding that it was my first car. He made sure it had a full tank of petrol when I came to get it, invited me in for a drink, picked me up from the station, etc.. He was a middle aged Greek guy.. He said he was going to give the car to his daughter if he couldn't get more than 8 for it. I figured that no father is going to give his daughter an unreliable death trap. Especially those Greek fellas, you know how big they are on family.


Anyway.
With my low income lately, my mods have been coming along veeery slow.

Current Mods
- New speed dial.
- Driver side LED floor lights.
- Painted various parts of dash/door/controls in silver.
- Super bright white glovebox light
- Interior and boot lights are high powered blue LED
- Almost completed blue LED dash conversion.
- Pinned scream masks to the back of my headrests

Future mods
- Some sexy black rims.
- Monaro bonnet scoop.
- Black Altezza Angel eye headlights.
- Chrome rocker covers.
- Braided hose kit with blue links.
- LPG conversion.
- Pioneer DVD/CD headunit.
- Replace all factory speakers.
- Amp and sub.
- HSV clubsport seats.
-Genuine Monaro tail lights.

That's all I can think of right now...

sick looking car man

QUESTION - Did you put in that aircon dial background?!?!

I have a tiger mica speedo background and have been looking for options to turn my aircon controls backing to tiger mica aswell. I'm guessing its not a GM part? do the aftermarket speedo backing makers do the aircon ones aswell? VDO i think it is

I got it off ebay.
Some guy custom makes them. I think it was $30 when I got mine. They seem to have dropped in price now.
Here's two links to people who can help you out on ebay.

At times I would love a manual. I agree, much more fun to drive.
Although when I don't feel like "having fun" the changing of gears gets incredibly annoying. I also like to multi-task whilst driving, like eating and stuff, lol. I get lazy too.
I wish you could switch between manual and auto at the flip of a switch, lol. That'd be pretty sweet.

lol at the scream mask.....nice car man

Haha, I actually had the masks taken by the police last night. They searched my car because apparently people in my area have been robbing places with the same type of masks. I'm so not happy about it. I should be getting them back soon.

Nice and clean. Love the sun roof.

I clean her in and out every Sunday. It's may favourite way to spend a Sunday.
Car on the lawn, sunnies on, beer in hand, music blaring.. ;p

I hate having a dirty car. Especially the interior. It was never smoked in, until I got it. I used to smoke in it (I quit not long after I got the car) I only ever smoked smoked in it a few times. I also used to let others smoke in the car but I got sick of the ash. No matter how hard you try to get it all out the window, just doesn't happen. So I banned it.

The sunroof is my favourite thing about the car too. Makes the ol' Sunday drive just that much better.
