There should be a link in the showroom section on how to upload into photobucket, give that a crack its the easiest thing.

Jeez that is nice, I actually think 7500 is good for that. If its a manual I will be extra jealous!

Wow, looks like it's in good nick, but $7500 changover - Wow! I just bought a modified (lowered, exhaust, leather, $1k worth of Tickford brakes etc etc etc) AU1 fairmont for around that sort of money. Anyway, as long as you're happy with it.

If it were mine, first mod would be either a series 1 C2R grille (PM HotC2R, I think he still has one) or a hawke grille; IMO they look much better than the whale tooth grille, even though yours is colour coded.

^^^No way, the only AU that looked good with that grill was the S Pack.

The only thing I would change would be the dash colour, thats what stopped me from getting a S1.

exceptionally nice car mate, but the only time i'd effectively pay $10k for a 9 year old car is if it was a 'mont Ghia or an XR6/XR8...

Nice car aus. You have to be happy with that!

Chances are that a car that has been so well maintained bodywise has also been mechanically well maintained.

Have fun with your mods ;)

Nice car man.
Puts my TS50 to shame.

Good price for a car with low kms and the kit, wheels and so on.

Enjoy the car, its a good base to get you started to something big.
