future plans are to transplant either a 4g37 or 4g63 DOHC in there.

I saw a lancer a while back with a silvia subframe init, so that got me thinking of the idea of also changing the suspension for that of an evo or something?? but who knows, that will most likely be a few years down the track.

so future plans will be : save for the next ten weeks ( this is roughly until the next tech holidays ), during that time it is on trademe for a ridiculous amount of money. If it sells I will be stoked with profit, if it doesn't sell I will be stoked to keep the car. After that time, It will be

2L awsomeness
time.

There is some structural damage to the car.

I had a look at the parts car, and it is in worse condition that this. So... I will go around the panel beaters on monday and get a quote to fix. Unfortuanatly I don't think it will cost anywhere less than 2 or 3k. So will see what the future of the car will be.

Had a professional Panel repair guy look at the car today. There is NO structural damage. It's all cosmetic.

However.

I will not be fixing the car.

If any of you guys want to buy both cars for 800 o.n.o then you have first dibs.

Otherwise will be going on Tardme.

In other news, I will be picking this up tomorrow :

So long story short,

After I sold the MX, I bought a vr4 Legnum. That car was a blast to drive around, so comfortable and generally awesome. Then someone decided they needed it more than me and kindly removed the car from my possession one evening.

Time for a new car it was. After trawling trademe like one does when searching for a new car, I finally found my dream car. Drove to Auckland one fine Sunday to pick up me new vehicle.

it looked something a little like this :
