Hey guys, not sure where I should put this but here goes.

 

I bought a new car last night, it was an absolute bargain:

 

 

 

The pics are off carsales - we picked it up with the landcruiser late last night.

 

I paid $300 for it, 1985 swift, 1.3L motor, 5 speed gearbox, immaculate interior, original stereo, started first go no problems in the cold and wet weather yesterday.

 

All it needs for rego will be four new tyres (having a girlfriend who just bought a barina and bought new rims, her rubber is 90% so I'm paying $50), new window seals at the back quarters (free from pick and payless) a horn from pick and payless and a service.

 

So really, I got a perfect running car, with an engine only done 140,000KM, for $400 plus rego. I couldn't pass it up. Mind you the car has only done 220,000km, which is nothing for a 20 year old car.

 

Best thing is, its raining today so james is at home, he's going to go pick all the stuff up and we can service it tonight and clean her up ready for rego on saturday =) Can you all tell I'm excited? LOL

like a suzuki swift?

that one looks like a holden barina... and you could've at least gotten a holden nova =)

haha, at least you wont have to worry about wheelspin =)

the wheels even move? =)

i have a turbo intake for one

most of the efi parts will interchange with a 4KE

Wow!

I'm just thinking loose the boot... more subs.. more amps... thick wires... lots of batteries... (devilish grin) hehehehehe (rubs hands together)

 

 

Nah, don't mind me.. typical "mario" with my stereo ideas :( Good pick up... you wanna run on a sniff of a oily rag, that'd be your first shot to it. Good stuff =)

Big block it... whack a 5K in it :( hahahaha.

Dunno how she'd behave in FWD though =)

the thing isnt too slow for a lil 1.3 :( so settle down boys!

 

I bought the car to get to work and back, and drive up to qld to see everyone. I didnt buy it for performance - I don't expect much of it.

 

I will however video tape it loosing traction for you all oneday soon when its registered =)

not sure yet, needs to be registered first!

good buy, if you need any techincal info, i've got heaps of stuff.

just PM me.

what happened to the sera?

Sleeping in the garage more often, I presume...

yeah she likes her warm carpeted garage =)

 

She will like having her accident damage fixed and her bodykit and turbo motor in more :(

i sooo need to chop that =)
