Thanks guys and lol I hope he doesn't see what a nightmare it was at times! Na I was totally honest with everything selling it. FYI for other people pricing similar I got 16. Probably could have got more if I wasn't so remote but I'm happy with it. Sorry Losh that you wont see it around town...

It's gone. I'm a tad more depressed than I expected and barely slept last night :D Anyway chapter is closed and on to a new life. Thanks for all the advice and kind words over the years. I probably didn't get into the community as much as I should but hopefully someone got or gets something...

Well there you go Losh. You were right, but I stand by what I said.

Just unlucky.

I'm confused, I do remember you've said something about troubles you had back in the day I think.. 90s commodores are equal bags of crap like the Falcons are. There is little difference in anything. I've had several and there is no difference in tyre wear. They are all basic cars in general.

Haha yeah I'm kinda slightly hoping it doesn't go as well as I know I'll regret it one day. Na stuff it, I'm going to cuss in here and say I want an EBXR8 or 5.0 Ghia :rolleyes: I know I'm sick guys but I've been fighting it for years and can't help myself...

Yeah, It's Christmas it aint going anywhere. I'll deal with it next year when I'm home. I'm not really stressed at the moment as I shuffled some funds and got myself a little bit of kit to keep myself occupied for now :)

You're probably right. I'll leave it on carsales till I leave but don't think I'll push anywhere else. If it sells it sells if it doesn't it doesn't.

Got a pre roady on Tuesday and of course a few days before the clutch fluid disappeared and found it leaking in the cabin. Just ordered a new clutch master and some engine mounts. The fact it was just the engine mounts I'm pretty happy about. He was fairly impressed with it for a commodore :D...

Yeah I know work doesn't insure them when their freighted which sucks. Never had an issue coming up but have heard of lots of people having problems. Hopefully it's gone by then.

Yeah I totally agree. I've been watching the market crash so bad in the past 6 months. No offence to anyone because I own this also but most average bogans types like us who love these cars currently have stuff all money :D There's the odd wog who has cash to splash but most people with money...

Cheers mate! Like every old car there will be issues in the future but I totally agree, I have spent heaps of time and money staying on top of most things. Haha hit up the bank ;) Yeah since I put the new shocks and spring insulators in the rear last week it actually drives like a treat. That...

Thanks mate! Like I said it's not perfect but it's much better than 90% out there. I have an entire dropbox folder with a heap of pics and a vid over the last couple of years if they are interested.

Thanks mate! Awesome to hear such positive feedback! It's hard to think that simply putting up some waffle about your cars problems over the years can help someone in a positive way. Cheers! Yeah I hope so. The paint really isn't that great. It has some cracks and chips in the bonnet and a...

:D thanks and yeah we're mad as they come! I'd rather wear a jacket all year than stick my head out the front door and sweat out 2 litres in 5 seconds for 5 months of the year. We just need a change of scenery and FNQ is so remote and boring when you've been here a while. I need mountains and...

Thought I'd update. Things have changed in a life and I'm done with it. I'm going to sell it. I'm not only doing that but I'm selling the house and moving down to Tassie so wont have space/time/money for it. To be honest I don't have the want for it anymore either. I was on the fence for the...

Tan the carpet like I above I think. It's not your daily and you keep it clean regardless so who cares. As you said floor mats will be in use anyway. What about the roof lining?

I have a soft spot for BMW 635s from the 70/80s I think. They have a gorgeous cream interior in some of them. That will be my next purchase If I run into some money.

Thanks man and yeah I go back and forth but currently its staying. Will move interstate in the next 12 months so might spice it up living somewhere different. Will need a new daily then so I will probably get a e-series over this time and see which one I fall in love with more. XEs are getting...

Yeah mate get it out! I was at the stage where I was reluctant to rack up the ks on it but realised it's just a car. Seeing those Monaros out there dropping mad skids changed my mind even more. I mean it's a VS S pac lol. Regos $1250 a year so might as well drive it. It really was a fun drive...

I don't get it. Must be inheritance, realestate investments or the lottery. I struggled to get the money together for fuel and a camping pass let alone a truck from WA with 6 sets of tyres, a 20k bottom rebuild end and a new diff.

Mate, first night I sat next to the track with my camera when that gold XT opened up 5 meters from my face and my ******* eardrums instantly started popping. I pretty much dropped my camera and jammed my fingers in my ears straight away. It was on par with a belt fed .776 and no ear pro. After 2...

And some more mostly Holdens for you freaks. Let me know if you want more as I have thousands!

I took the ute for a big drive upto Northern Nats on the weekend by myself and did about 800kms round trip (No I didn't enter I just camped out of it as it's way to slow). Before I left I serviced it and flushed the cooling system and it ran flawlessly. I think the back shocks are pretty much...

That looks absolutely mint! Wheels look much better than the white. Gotta be proud of yourself! For now...

There's been like half a dozen pages since I last looked so I had a quick read through. Looks like a similar gremlin I was chasing for months. I put an earth from the PCM right next to it along with separating an earth from the loom to the CAS in order to fix my o2 issues. I do have sequential...

Lol at least someone noticed. Just standard Mag Wheel silver. Like the generic one on most vehicles. It was a mag wheel joint that did them so I just pointed at the wall and of course it was in stock. Looks nice and clean in real life also.

Maybe a tad :) Certainly not full time anymore but used to be. Not automotive but I spend some time most weeks shooting someone shooting for my current employer.

Haha yeah mate I've seen 2 other people use my pics as well. I generally send them a message asking if they want mine for 25k lol.

Cheers mate, It's a bit of a passion of mine!

Never posted in here before so thought I'd show off. Cleaned my ute and took a bunch of pics.

Here's some photos from tonight.

Na mate it's all good I like it, as said get around it yourself. It also can keep you motivated into maintaining/modifying you car more than you think. Also I find I don't really have many people that are too interested in cars around me so it's hard to share what I've done with people in my...

Haha that's awesome mate! Looks really nice, I love the kit and lip! Also being thinking about putting the trim back on it myself. I love the bright red strip but god your chrome one makes me drool aswell. Ks, cost price please?

Got another set of engine covers and had them repainted as I couldn't handle that crack any longer. Much :D

You're on the list.

Yeah, 93kg is nothing. I'm 6.2" and 93kegs with a bit of muscle and in almost all car seats I can feel my hips and lats spilling over the sides. I don't know much about physics but regardless of who you are in a seat, weight will almost entirely be directly down from you ass and barely anything...

@losh1971 you have literally replaced it with a significantly more expensive car that needs even more expensive TLC. I get why you sold it cause I'd scrap this if I did the same. Sometimes nostalgia and hindsight can be a bitch though. Just keep spending money on your new pit like the rest of us...

Was thinking of getting a whole tub liner so I didn't have to think about how badly it needed a paint. Your old one has just made me depressed. Mainly because you wrote it off shortly after getting it to look that good :(
