Perhaps I'll just have to build it ground up from the best parts from two dozen models. :lol:

My dad wouldn't let me, given that it's almost half his money. Hoping I can pawn it off to my brother when he has the money.

Sucks :(
My parents gave me this car, as my sister needed money, so she sold it to them, who then gave it to me :lol:

Too easy. Would've been easy to follow up if there was I suppose.

Hey hey, I would've used my own money, but I couldn't sway my dad towards the FTO at all, so it had to be compromise.

My FTO will be half my money :lol:
I'll probably get around $2,000 for this car,
And the other 2000-2500 for the FTO will be my money :)

Got your eyes on any at the moment?

The one I posted about a while ago that needs work is still there, haha. But if I think I'll commit to getting one, I reckon I'll just spend more and get a better one.

You can polish a turn, but in the end, it's still a turd underneath :lol:
If it wasn't for the Ks I would be putting a bid in on this :(

Ahh, yeah. Always the Ks. Most of the one's where I am (South Aus) are either high K, auto, or both.

edit:
Or have hideous kits.
