Well you might have noticed the last week I havent been online much. Picked up a new daily driver.
I WAS driving a 93 Ford Fairlane Ghia which I turned into a DC LTD few years back. Unfortunatly the diff (no not from burning rubber ${L_SMILIES_RAZZ}$ From excessive towing and the diff being high K's) died. I was faced with replacing it along with alot of suspension bits aswell.

I then was told at work of a EF/EL going cheap. Went around to have a look. Turned out to be a Cobalt EF Series 1 XR8 Manual. Only mods being lowered with Twin exhaust. Picked it up for a tidy sum of $900!

Needs a bit of paint work on the drivers door and the bonnet but besides that drives great and the best bit, it has a hayman reese 1800kg Towbar! Great for towing the Z if needed ${L_SMILIES_VERY_HAPPY}$

I will put photos up soon. This will give you an idea of what the car is

Ah, standard one.
FXGT 'rolla is something Japan and England had, factory 4AGE. His is British, so it has absolutely no emissions gear on it at all. It'll do just shy of 200.

200? Thats crazy, id hate to think what my rolla would feel like at that speed.. At 100 the whole thing shakes and rattles and vibrates....

Oh god no, his is built like a proper car. The only problem is the stupid rims and suspension the previous owner put in it, the rims hit the guards if you run over one of the cats eyes in the road. It's an AE82 btw.
Oh and its not licensed yet.
