The Hatch is now gone and i needed a ride so i spent a week looking for a new car and came across this sitting on the side of the road. She was owned by a little old lady who passed away earlier in the year and it was passed onto her son who i bought it off. She runs a Reco Blue 202 with an auto and 143000km on the clock. The body is straight and rust free and the interior is almost immaculate.

She is a VC and although she is'nt a Torana she will do the job of towing my Go Kart around and for only $900 you can't go wrong.

Cheers

I have a Senior Kart with a KT100S. Its a race kart.

Plans for it when the Kingy is on the road is either sell it or keep it and do it up a little and keep it as my daily.

Cheers

Thanks Fellas. Yeah she will remain stock apart from a cd player as the AM radio is driving me insane! I will keep an eye out for some wheels just to make her look a little nicer but thats it.

Scored a LPG system for it the other day for $15!!!! Afew little problems since i bought it. I had to replace the LHR hub seal and the water pump and i need a new heater core for it if anyone has one that doesn't leak? I got bored and put an alarm in it and central locking on the front doors only. She just keeps going and going. I have a cam in the garage and some new lifters too that i might get around to putting in it soon.

Cheers

Josh
