Is the radiator overflow bottle from the GA15DE going to become surplus to your requirements? The one on my youngest's Pulsar is cracked and has a hole in it.
You're fucked. I've just recently replaced all those hoses on mine. You'll have to take the manifold off to reach anything. Check the distributor cap, rotor and leads while you're in there.
Is anything happening this month? I'm coming home to Northland for a few weeks to help out my brother who has broken his leg. Would be keen to attend a meet and put faces to names.
Obviously the beemer, lol.
But seriously the slightly older Swift could be the go. Can't see the logic in paying $3k more for what is effectively the same car.
Mini seats are smaller.
edit;
Left and right front seats in these are interchangeable. Could you get away with putting the fucked one on the passenger's side when you take it for a wof?
