Hi there, I bought this car ages about 2 years ago after it had been cleaned up ( new paint job, and some very minor engin work ) When I got the car it had only done 20,000kms, crazy I know. I was told it had been owned by an old lady in hamilton, then stored in a hay shed for years. I am acquaintances with the people I purchased the car from, so have no reason to doubt this is all true. They own a panel and paint business and cleaned up the car.
I have replaced the window seals, installed a stereo and alarm and had some small rust patched removed. Apart from that the car in as new and running really well.
I have just joined this fourm, as I ran into a nice guy at a local petrol station who recommended I do so. I think it would be helpful for me, as I really dont know much about cars at all.

Hiya, lass, there's probably an easier way to do it, but if you've got the pictures hosted (uploaded to a internet server), then you can use (img)the image location(/img) - but using square brackets, rather than the round.

 just click the bottom of the 3 codes below your pics, it should copy automaticly and paste it on page... That car belonged to someone who was on here... remember the before pics... Good stuff, coupes are awesome. Try www.oldschool.co.nz too if you wanna get out and about with other old car fiends, plenty of cruises and meets happening over the summer months especially in/from Aucks. |

Hey, that was me at the petrol station. I've seen your car around the area a bit more since - good to see it getting out and about!

Yep it's not lol, someone backed into the driver side door ( or kicked it ) its hard to tell what happened I just found it like that after work. There is no paint marks or anything, so hopefully can just get it knocked back into place.
