My car is currently parked in the driveway and gets about 20km a week. Tuesday so I can go play volleyball and Sunday to a mates place for pizza with the boys...
It's waiting for a new owner to hopefully come along and enjoy my pride and joy... Don't need such a big car to do so little km's.

The VCT has just had diff rebuilt and new 2 1/2" exhaust to pass rego. Getting new front rotors and pads put on tommorrow (nothing special just standard stuff). Spent a too many $$'s on her lately. Think clutch may need some attention soon too. Happy days.

The Ute is sitting in the garage being unloved, waiting for some new globes for the head lights, and for two days to be up so I can wind the window down because of the new tint.

EA - getting flogged all over the place. Will be selling or wrecking it soon.
EB - In the garage on stands awaiting the new clutch, would have had it back together tonight but Ford didn't have a spigot bearing in stock. Once it's back on the road i'll look at getting the bottom end rebuilt, then dump it on it's *** and enjoy driving it. |

Au gathering dust - as it seems almost futile to wash when it's parked next to a highway. Its also patiently waiting for a recently purchased turbo to get put on.

My BA is currently at the local Ford dealer, awaiting the arrival of their motor trimmer to repair the dodgy seams in the back seat.
Also getting the gearknob and boot replaced as they are damaged. And the best part is that Ford are paying for it!! My XD is sitting at our bus depot still in a million pieces, and hasn't been touched for about 3 years. I'll get to it eventually.... My other XD Ghia got sold last week, to a friend of my Dad's who is going to run it into the ground until he kills it like he did his last car. This makes VERY angry, and he'd better stay the hell away from me, or I'm going to let him know about it.

I thought i would post a pic of my xb in its current state, i was lucky damage was cosmetic and all the bolt on bits, so i ripped them off (or they fell off)and am looking for replacements. The chrome bumper i put back on has a slight dint in it but will do for now and i need new headlight over moulds, bumper got pushed back in and damaged them, couldn't have asked for better timing, i was running out of things to do

Not much is happening with my EL (see sig) at the moment. There is a problem with the tailshaft clunking, so I need to get that looked at. It's serving me well as a daily driver.

My merc is getting the gearbox and engine pulled out, then we can size it all up for the BA I6 to go in.. and if all goes well and I get the thumbs up from the guys doing the conversion for me, i'll find an engine and start buying the bits and pieces I need to do it all early next year.
For now though.. just driving the little laser around and trying to save up every cent. |

My car is waiting for the NW dyno day before I get the extractors and exhaust fitted - I want to find out what it's putting out as it is now before I do anything to improve it's power. Then after that, on go the extractors and exhaust, give it a good tune, and then bring it down to the AFF Vic dyno day to see how it goes.
Other then that, waiting until I've got the spare $ to get two new tyres so I can put on my 15" alloys. Being on such a tight budget bites :(
