Nice buy and being a 1999 model it should have some of the AUI running changes, good stuff. Its a sedan right?

A very good job with the pics considering they're from your phone!
It'll do very well as a base for mods. First mod suggestion, new grille! The S1 Futura one is an easy fix and very cheap. There are some really good ones available also, but more money, and could neccesitate a front bar change. Then that usually requires new alloys and tyres, which can lead to lowering and new shocks, which can lead to rear bar, side skirts and spoiler!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh run, it's the mod bug!  Just wait though, you'll get many great ideas here! GK

yeah, the new grill is an easy fix.
A mate of mine works at a ford dealer ship here in A.C.T and can swap my grill for a nicer one ;) As for the other mods, time and $$$$ will tell

Welcome to the forum Corp.
Hope you have some extra $$$$ cause the mod bug GK posted is catchy. Keep an eye out for some mags and you'll have a great looking ride in no time flat. Just remember to take care of your AU (and yourself) when you drive it. Uncle Ken (old fart)
