Just recently acquire this for $1250 with 4 months rego. AU2 Forte in Congo Green. Was traded in at my work in a sorry state. Filthy, no hub caps, needing a bit of work. But I seen potential so I grabbed it.
Has about 360,000kms on it but drives very well. Pretty much got the car home, fitted clear side repeaters and gave her a quick polish and cleaned up the interior. {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} then I picked this up for it, for a later date. Full S1 XU kit {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} Then I got a set of SL Pedders springs, some BA hubcaps. And also had the windows tinted darkest legal. Also clay barred the paint, and waxed it. {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} And this is where it sits today. Also have a genuine set of T1 TE50 wheels to go on it. Once they are painted and have tyres fitted

You will need a series 1 or XR bonnet to go with the kit. Nice score.

Glad to see there is a minority who will see something like this and give it a makeover. Cheers mate!

Good start on the make over. Are you going to paint the Bars and skirts and such Congo Green?
There are NOT a lot of XR's in that colour and I think it would look nice.

Pap Smurf: Of course lol. I just picked it up and got it home so I have it. Got it all at a ridiculously cheap price so I had to have it.
edfairmont 4.0: Yeh it runs so well. Little rattle for like 3 seconds when you first turn it on cold of a morning. Other than that, runs like clock work
