KE25_rolla Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Tally - I certainly did mate. Had it shipped upto QLD. Was looking for one for about 9 months and saw it. Was the cleanest one I had seen for quite a while so took a gamble and put a deposit on it without viewing. You wouldn't believe it but the next day on ebay the most original 25 ever popped up on there is Brisbane for $9k - lol. Always happens that way. Anyways, I am reasonably happy with it but being an ex-panelbeater I am particularly picky. I did see all the previous photo's of it but not sure about the previous engine? Assuming a dirty old 3k? Anyways, lots to do on it. The clutch is shuddering really badly so not going to put it back onto the road until I really go through it and get it to a point I'm happy with. Do you know Frank well? Was Frank in the old Rolla's circle? He seems like a nice, genuine fella which is why I took the gamble on buying the car without seeing it!!

Tally Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 apparently went good, it deserved to be cleaned up though, was parked in that spot for a year or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE25_rolla Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 So I see you collect a few parts. Would you happen to have the missing badges from the front and rear of my car as well as a matching set of wiper arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
