fairlane wanyway, from the 80-s, whatever model designation it is... extra rear quarterlight behind door = fairlane

[Speedyrr]

Yep its an aussie assmbld 79 ZJ Fairlane, just had to do a complete engine transplant cause the other ate #1 piston.
Now back to the car in question, what do ya all think of "Little Red Colt"

[CaMpylobacter]

more pics are a must.

[Speedyrr]

Will do once I get some time off and a bit of decent weather, way to bright today. There's 3 pics up now, http://www.fotothing.com/speedyrr

[Muzzie]

Is the pic in your avatar the same car im guessing?

[Speedyrr]

The car in the avatar isn't "Little Red Colt" but thats very observant of you escort_boy, I'm the one that bought EVLGTO in the end. Pity lots a little things a crapping out on it so now its hiding in the shed till I get a bit of time to go over it properly and fix a few niggles. Now that ones out of the bag I'm guessing people might want to see pics of that one 2?

[CaMpylobacter]

hell yes, colt gto's are pr0n

[Speedyrr]

Will take a while but I've got an extensive archive from the guy I bought it off with Lots of pics all the way thru the build-up process for the GTO. coltspeed wants me to have it all fixed up for the meet at mystery creek next year but not sure if it will be ready by then.

Lovin all the mitsys comin outta the woodwork thesedays
Is this meet you speak of for GTOs only? I must be made aware of it closer to its ETA

[Speedyrr]

Yes redseven it was in the mag, one of the conditions before I bought it was the owner wanted to get some recognition for all the work he did which I thought was fair enough too. Are u still after 16L parts because I've tried to contact you?
lowlancer I'm talking about NEW ZEALAND NATIONAL MOTOR SHOW
MYSTERY CREEK EVENTS CENTRE
HAMILTON
17 - 19 MARCH 2006.
There will be a lot of different stuff there and the EARLY MITSUBISHI COLT GTO club will have a section for the GTO's.

[Speedyrr]

I've noticed lately that a lot more of the old colts are starting to change hands, especially on trademe. I think the 16L is highly underated considering there going for aroung the $2-5k mark, the 1850's seem to be a little less, while the GTO's are still under the $10k mark for one in good nick. What do people think about this?
It's something I'm weighing up as I do more of the old 2-door coupes up. What they seem to be worth finished and how much money I would have to sink into them doesn't add up the best right now
And which of the 3 models would be the rare pick? There's plenty of GTO's hiding around the country, but you don't see them out that often. But you don't often see 1850's either, and even less of the 16L's.
