Hi everybody, I decided to stop lurking and reveal myself.
So i bought myself a 95 GPX (my first car

) a week or so ago, that needs quite a bit of work before i can get a roadworthy and register it, so as any sane person would I googled and found you guys! looks like a nice community of mechanically minded people (however i can never look at a barbie doll the same) A little about me, im 21, live on the sunnie coast QLD, ride bikes, I studied engineering at UQ, dropped out, did a aircraft maintenance course last year and now im a postie (wtf?)
Now about my car, previous owners have done quite abit of work and customization on the car, ill probably take photos and put them somewhere. Major problems are leaking water pump, needs a new front bumper, steering column wobbles and minor rust on roof. Then lots of little things. A project car that i intend to fix over a few months.
TL;DR Hi
