Sooo it looks like I have found A car :D
1996 GPX manual, 123,XXX Kms, completely stock :D
He has accepted my offer, and it will be picked up and driven down on monday, unless someone else makes a better offer 8O he said no one else has shown much interest though, apart from 2 test drives.
So it looks to be almost certainly mine :D

it's a bit more than i would like to have spent, but for the condition of it, I'm quite happy :)

I'll get some good pics of it uploaded tomorrow :)

Will say again.

Screw you scoring those gauges.


Car looks good meanwhile, looks like the mis-aligned panel issue was fixed...

Haha yea, Glad I got the gauges :D
The panels look all right, could still do with a little work though.

Finally cleared out the garage so that I can park it inside.
So I decided I will give the car it's first wash since I got it on Monday :)
Looks much better now :D

Thanks guys :)
Yea it looks muuuch better now that it has been washed.
I've never seen this car clean before haha, when I went to view it, the previous owner didn't have time to wash it, and when it arrived here it was dirty :lol:

I waited until the garage had been cleared out before I washed it though, as it's been raining most of the week :(

And now not only is the outside clean, but the inside is spic and span! Hired the rug doctor and cleaned both Braydons and mine!
