August 16, 201016 yr comment_459891 My Sister (the blood blister) came around a few weeks ago to service the civic. The car's pushing 36 years old and she's no car buff, so I mentioned that it might be time to start looking for a newer daily. As I've got the 'rolla bug, I was thinking AE92 with auto, air and power. The budget was as cheap as possible, so planned to grab a nice one and fix 'er up. Last week I spied a ae82 with super low ks that had been sitting in a paddock. The same day I went to look at it one of the girls at work approached me and asked; what should she do with her N13 Pulsar? I listed the usual, carpoint, evil bay etc, and she said she wasn't interested. She just wanted it gone. I said you can drive it down to the wreckers and you might get 200 bucks. Then I thought, shit, I can probably get more than that if I part it, so I said I'll grab it. Went and looked at the ae82 and it was a POS! So I thought, I'll check this pulsar to see if it's worth fixing. I asked a few questions and she mentioned the bad. heater core by-passed 6 months ago and head lining hanging down. Not major, it may be worth it. Over the weekend, went to the wreckers and got a good headlining and "practised" removing a dash, while grabbing a heater core. Picked up the pulsar tonight and was stunned. She has owned it since new. Payed 26k in 1990. Pulsar Q hatch with auto, air, steer, electric mirrors and 1.8 engine. (yes the camira one) Interior overrated. Needs a wash. Full service history since new. In 2009 spent over 2 grand on CV's, cam belt, water pump, exhaust, pwr steer pump and dizzy. Been completely book serviced. At a dealer until 06 and same mechanic 'til 09. 229,000 ks. 2 months reg. I got home in the dark, so no photos tonight. I'll update soon.

August 17, 201016 yr comment_460113 How the heck did your sister get the name "The Blood Blister" ???? Is it not obvious? Blood Blister and Sister rhyme. Must admit, some sisters are more like a boil than a blood blister.. Back on topic: Sounds like a wicked neat car :D Report
August 17, 201016 yr Author comment_460189 Put in new heater core and headlining today. Much nicer for the freezing melbourne winter. Still needs a bloody good wash and polish, but I've been driving it around and it runs so bloody well. But it isn't a rolla, and you can tell in the build quality. This thing was built 5 minutes drive from where I live! Report
August 28, 201016 yr Author comment_463542 On Friday, the N13 got a RWC. Not bad, my blood blister gets a perfect car for $750, on the road, in 2 weeks. Best part is the car has now left my driveway! Oh, and my sister commented on a test drive, what is that clock to the right. (tacho) She said she'd prefer a clock to a tacho! You cannot win! Edited August 28, 201016 yr by Bamboo Report
