Default Time to say good-bye AU

Time has come to sell my AU it has been a fantastic car for the 7 years, has never let my family or me down.
The last 18 months my G/F has been putting around in this car she now has a Honda CR-V, it’s time for the AU to go.
I would dearly love a member on AFF to buy this car and get a custom edit tune, this car has never been edit tuned and with an edit you can take control of the auto and do I decent 60 foot.
This car wont be to far away from running a 13 sec pass, its previous best is 14.30@97.66 mph, in street trim.
I never had the funds to do an edit on the AU, once I purchased my BA XR8 ute my spare cash was spend there.
All the work has been done and for $6000 ITS PRICED TO SELL you well never get a better buy.
More info on my AU its list of mods can be found in my bothers thread here:
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=100090
Thanks Hamo.

I confess... I am the lucky punter who is going to park the AU in my garage. :

I've got a B-Series and wanted to venture over to the 'other side'.

I'm going to use it as a track car and retire the XR6T to a daily drive.

As soon as the VISA recovers from the recent splurge, its going to head back to G & D for an edit and BA XR8 brake upgrade.

Looking forward to plent of :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_ around the track and down the 1/4 :thebirds:
