Seen a white LJ driving down the main drag of Goulburn today.

It had XUI rear spoiler and weird looking white number with thin black lettering.

Also on the way home I saw a HX panel van restored to look like the old NRMA road service van.

A fair bit, the receipt was three pages long - highlights being the engine came out to have the bottom end reconditioned and resealed, virtually all the suspension / steering components were replaced.

Licensing requires 19 items to be fixed + we found 8 new ones when the work was done - 23 done so far = 4 items to go ... then it's on the road :rockon:

Quality of work there was excellent and worth the money, actually. Noting all the items that were replaced or reco'd over the 4-5 weeks it was there, I was only charged 35hours labour ...

Silver LX with all the fruit - AHH-304, I presume heading back to Jerra. Looked ace.

What are the odds of two torries being out at the same time in the same area for a Sunday drive?

Saw an LX hatch convertible yesterday. It was black with a roll bar and it was travelling just west of Coffs Harbour.

I know a few of these were converted years ago but it seems a terrible waste of a hatch. It was still nice.

I've noticed another green SLR with flares in town lately. There aren't many around.

I agree I would be hesitant to do something like that nowadays, but remember a lot of hatches have just been written off or converted into speedway cars. If it's out there being enjoyed by someone, it's getting a better life than a lot of others!

I agree. Better to enjoy it that have it wrecked or worse still rust away in some yard.

Spotto white box Torana in SL/R 5000 warpaint on the back of a tilt tray on Albert St Preston heading south towards Fairfield.
Looked like straight from the paint shop. No lights etc. SL/R 5000 shadowing on the boot spoiler was silver. BIG wheels 18"+?

Spotto a bronze coloured UC hatch in Coffs Harbour on the highway. It had hot wires and looked like a daily driver. Nothing special but it sure stood out amongst the other traffic.

I liked it.
