you need to create a 'image shack' or 'photobucket' account and upload them there first.

Very nice, looks like it could be a 220. The bodykit was standard on the 220 and the number plates show it is the right age (mine are QXN).
Nice pick up, got any more details like options, under bonnet pics etc? Threads merged too.

Very nice mate.
Re plates Russ your right i was going to start a thread regarding plates that were on AU T series. My plates started with Q aswell when it was first registered (im the 2nd owner), im not near car so dont know the rest but they were what it was registered with.
