I think the red one is only worth 1500 max due to how long its been sitting, 4 new tires, all new fluids, think the soft top is a writeoff, new discs and pads, paint is very faded. Im going to offer 1200 and see what she says, offered her 1k a while ago and she was not interested, but i think it nee...

I also know of a red one with a hard top that has been unused for about 3 or 4 years, i might use some of my tax money and see if she wil...

By fogged i meant its opaque, but have found that plastic polish can apparently make a significant difference, so will give that a go. Ive got a huge to do list on this car, its a bit rugged, has a wof, but not sure how due a couple of things ive seen so far while getting it on and off the trailer. ...

Rented one from place in Albany, had to pay whole day as they dont do part days, but made it a little easier to deliver back when i was finished.

Car starts and can move under its own power, will see what $800 gets me in surprises when i get time to give it a good going over.

The cost of any engine conversion seems quickly put to shame by the ease and power that canbe had from turboing the stock 1600 engine. You need a cert regardless, but there is no "easy" conversion engine. I wouldnt touch a 3sge with a barge pole after having one in a fraser, a stock s15na sr20de eng...

There is a company in East Tamaki that does custom tube bending, had thought about just getting them to bend up a few sets if i was going to make one for my car (if i get one :) ) Also was going to do the 4 point, wit...

In saying that, the pipe benders on trademe are cheap, and materials doesnt add up that much. I can tig and mig weld them, but will prob do all tig for looks...

Did Torque give you a idea of what the tuning cost would be? A mate took his car there with a Link G4 that he had tuned himself on the road, wanted them to finish off the tune, the car ran fine when it went in, but had flatspots and felt average after the tune, and a $1500 bill. I do a bit of tuning...
