    Ks is the last thing I`d be looking at on a Mk1.

    The 1.6 engines will never die and can be replaced for peanuts.

    4 doors are cheaper and often have had easier lives.

    There are very few rust free straight 2 doors around these days.

      well if k's arent a worry...
      i have been talking to dado about his. i would have snapped it up by now but it needs a blue slip...im not going to venture into the exercise of dealing with the blue slip because i havent owned the car, so i dont know it ups and downs which means i could discover hundereds of little things that need to be fixed due to the thoroughness of the inspection.

      thanks,
      tom.

        That red one looks pretty good. Retrimmed interior and new paint, what do you want for the money?
        Mechanical stuff on a Mk1 is cheap and easy to fix. rust and trim are not.

        Blue slips are not the enemy, you can get a car through a blueslip that is still unroadworthy, they are just a measure of the MINIMUM standard that your car should be to be on the road.

        Interstate shipping is not that much either, or get a $50 permit and drive it back. If it can make it from Victoria to NSW, it should pass a blueslip.

          i've been thinking about it and i dont think that it will actually need a blue slip...because at the moment it is still registered in victoria until june. so all i need to do is bring it back to sydney, drive it around til june, then in june get a pink slip?

            interstate rego transferral needs a blue slip. it needs an identification check cause it wont be on the rta database.

              ok in that case i will pass because he said he will not get a blue slip for it then sell it. more that likely because hes too busy or just want to get rid of the car, but i have decided i don't want to buy i car without a blue slip...

              thanks fellas.

                He cant get a blue slip for you in another state. I needs to be blueslipped within 3 months of coming to live in NSW.
