P_Star Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Riding home from work on pushbike Thursday night and one of these past me. I was all 'wow Wtf is that! That is cool and I want it!'. I've never seen one before. It was a grey or gunmetal grey colour. Are they very rare in nz? Very cool car. Yay to modgies but definitely turbos would be better. I'm stoked my hb wagon came with a set of turbos. Haha, they weren't super rare but most of them have rusted to death and used in paddocks etc so not toooo many left on the road now. Wheels are very much a temp measure to get it rolling/going plus the idea is to spend as little money as humanly possible on it... buying the wrong bits isn't helping my case much haha. There's actually a couple for sale at the moment which is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There's one for sale on the side of the road down here at the moment. Over-priced, mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berjjj Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 For some reason I always picture old Mitsi's in some form of turd gold , so I guess it's kind of fitting.edit: also think those wheels are perfect hahaGET ON WITH IT VINCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That scheme looks like it wants to be Italian. I'm sure I posted on here that Colt that is for sale... I'll dig it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Shit do these look nice when tidy, sooooo cool Oh my yes, I hope he has found those pillar vents now though! Other than the gold accenting and wheels (including the yuck steering wheel), that is fucking sweeeeeeeeeeet. Yeah, not a fan of that gold stuff personally... don't mind the wheels tbh but the exhaust tip is rancid lol... the factory steering wheels on these is rad, dunno why you would change it... shame I also don't have one lol. For some reason I always picture old Mitsi's in some form of turd gold , so I guess it's kind of fitting. edit: also think those wheels are perfect haha GET ON WITH IT VINCE I'm a fan of turd gold... I'm seriously considering a dark bronze sorta colour for this thing when it gets to fill rather than cutting holes... along these lines: That scheme looks like it wants to be Italian. I'm sure I posted on here that Colt that is for sale... I'll dig it up... I'm Italian... fitting? I don't know lol but yeah the gold on red is a very 90's supercar kinda vibe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a steering wheel but it's missing the bit that attaches the horn button etc so a wheel may be handy too, putting an 1800 in so motor bits less useful... I guess it depends on what you want for everything but keen to keep acquiring necessary bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
