    That is a ridiculous bargain given how reasonably tidy it looks. How many kms on it ?

    Should be a good project.

    shaggin wagon! I wouldn't mind a wagon as a daily.

    also, armadale reppin. there are a few JC members around our area. you'll probably see my barge on the road.

    I've got a set of statesman door trims if you're interested. two tone grey with pitted grey suede pads with the holden wreath logo embroided on them. complete with ash trays, I don't have the little lights though.

    I got mine cheap too and i gotta say spending the little bit of money on the outside (cut n polish and engine bay clean) was definately worth it mate.

    That would be nice. Shaved doorhandles I see. I think you should get rid of the trolley strips too though, and paint the ones on the bumpers white
    Oh and white side view mirrors which you now have
