As you can see that most of the $ were spent on restoring the car to stock form with some minor performance mods on improving handling and response. It is now healthy and capable to handle further mods.
Things to take note:
There are just two coin dents and a few scuff marks as is a daily drive.
Headlight covers need a bit of buffing.
Noticed that the steering rack boot is torn and needs a new one.
$9,300 nego

"Pajero" means "Wanker" in colloquial Spanish.

Actually the Pajero IO (not the normal Pajero) is around the same size of a Rav4zuihoujueding wrote:I dont mind a RAV4 or something of that size...but certainly not a Pejaro!
Check my post: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26127
My Mrs loves the IO's size, not as huge as the normal Pajeros hence a perfect every day drive to anywhere.
It's ok, nobody will know. There are hardly any authentic Taco places around Australia.silverGPX wrote:"Pajero" means "Wanker" in colloquial Spanish.

It was named after Leopardus pajeros, the Pampas cat which is native to the Patagonia plateau region of southern Argentina. However, since pajero is an offensive term for "wanker" in Spanish, alternative names have been used for many markets overseas.silverGPX wrote:"Pajero" means "Wanker" in colloquial Spanish.
Any way back on track .

Re: 1997 GPX Manual for sale, 136000km
I am very interested in purchasing this car.
Subject to an inspection and test drive, I'm all in.
Won't be able to make it up for a test drive for 2 weeks, so not this coming weekend, but the weekend after.
Would you be able to text me if it sells prior to then?
Otherwise, I will contact you closer to that date to organise to meet up.
My mobile is 0402 914 515.
Cheers

Thanks guys for your interest!
To be honest, swapping to an auto Fto seems to be the easiest way. But after owning the Fto for 4years, it might be time to move on.
Perhaps an auto 350gt is a solution. The harshness of driving the manual Fto in the city some times wear me out abit.
