According to it's birth certificate, the MK2 turned 21 today.
Not too sure about it's early life but it sounds like an old woman pottered around the lower north shore in it for the majority of it's like.
When I got it it was running on three cylinders, one of the windows wouldn't wind up and you couldn't get in the drivers door. A week later it blew a head gasket.
Check out this water jacket death.
After I got it running again, with added twin manifold, downpipe and hi-flow cat, the paint needed a lot of love.
Before restoration.
Faded goodness.
Post restoration.
While still replacing things, un ripped drivers seat, un molested rear parcel shelf, a lot of the idle components, haha there was one which taunted me untill I manned up. The heater core.
Scary.
One it was done it would almost burn you!
Since those major hurdles it's had a H&R cupkit to make the ride height look normal and the headlight relay upgrade.
Now's she apples and back to her former glory, she'll be appearing on a few billboards around the city (Gordon, Liverpool, Heathcote, Parramatta, Five Dock) promoting a website called carhistory.com.au on the 1st of August. A fitting tribute.
I was going to take a photo of me pouring a yard glass of 98 RON petrol but that was a bit too douche chills.
