    Once Neil has finished giving this moron a British Leyland Sharn. Feel more than free too throw him into the boot of the Stellar. I was going too say, then once in the boot pour gas on him and set him alight. But no.

    Well let me decide, if i'm coming right up north in the Green Mirage or the Stellar to pickup you up, then your gonna have too chip in for a fair amount of that gas mayte. Shes a pretty big job aye? It will also require me too get outta bed fairly early and be there at around 6AM. You will also have to put up with my rambling on about Mitsubishi's all day, and "A groovy kind of love" I have for a particular kind of Korean car.

    How exciting, my first project thread. So here it is. My new 1988 Hyundai Stellar. I've wanted one for the past 2 or so years. because their such an odd-ball car, hardly no one knows what the fuck it is, and there are practically none of them left now. As they all rusted out. My Nana and Grandad had one for a short time between approx 2008 and 2011. Theirs was the pre-facelift model. I've got the facelift model that came out in 1988. The front end on the facelift model doesn't look so naff. A bit of history behind the car, it was brought by a south African guy down in Christchurch about 9 months ago, and then driven up to Auckland. He did about 11,000KM's in it, during that short time. Before that it was owned by an old couple down in Christchurch by the name of Mr and Mrs J.D Dale. They owned it for 24 years. Before them it was with a rental car company called Southern Cross Rental Group for 3 years from when it was first registered in 1988. So it was obviously a rental car for a while. Furthermore it was sold from the local Mitsubishi yard. I discovered the Stellar while I was driving up White Swan road in Lynfield. I was in the green Mirage at the time, and was like shit, it's a Stellar. So I turned around and gave chase, but yeah I lost him. I then noticed he was at the Z station in Lynfield filling up. So I went in for a chat, and got his number, then went in about a week for so later too have a look, and a test drive. As I discovered he only lived 5 minutes away. Basically for those that don't know, the chassis is the same as an early 80's Mark V Ford Cortina, and has similar Mitsubishi mechanical'sto that of an early 80's Mitsubishi Sigma, with a 4G32 engine and Borg Warner 3-speed automatic transmission. Another reason I brought it, was it ticks off three boxes, it's automatic so will be a good cruiser, it's rear wheel drive, (it can drift but not that well with the 1.6L) and finally, I had too set myself apart LOL. It does have a few issues that need sorting for the WOF. It's also got a few pretty mean oil leaks, and smokes like a typical Mitsubishi engine should LOL. But I will get onto replacing the seals, head gasket, rocker cover, and giving it a damn good service, replace leads and all that normal stuff when I can free up some money. For now I just want too drive it when I can. Well enough rambling. Time for some pics. Cheers

    It's looking good with that new carpet man. Actually that whole darker interior looks quite good.
  20. MIRAGE-MAN
    Yup I'm coming.
  21. MIRAGE-MAN
    It will be a good drive for my new Hyundai Stellar which I have not brought yet. Some days I think too far ahead of myself.
  22. MIRAGE-MAN
