This cracks me, in a good way.
I found this dude like 6 months before you brought it. He was after carina parts and i wanted a carina so we got talking . He wanted 5k for it and i had to stop him there, told him i paid less for a low km injected modle with mint ext. Met him at 4k and he was gonna drive it to auckland for me. D day came and the guy bailed. Said his kids wont let him. After they went back to uni and realised its still sitting there he called again but i had other plans. The deal was he didnt want it going to be "a drift car. I told him i had a mint interior for one and he almost pulled the pin thinking i was going to modify and ruin this collectors item. After failing to explain the sg modle is the bones of it ass modle i promised id keep it original, which i would have. Any way i said i didnt have 4k can you go lower, he said no ill trademe it, but then you wont know if the cars been looked after? Well thats the risk ill take.
So i send him your build post via email just to piss him off haha. Good luck on the build, im keen on a catch up if any one wants to do a celica carina corona photo shoot
