mullins Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Brought myself this 1980 323 wagon a few weeks ago. Story goes, I used to see it often parked outside this commercial place on the way into Levin and never had the balls to go and knock. Eventually I did take a man pill and what do ya know, it belonged to the guys son who was looking to sell it. I pissed around a bit and got the "it's going on trademe this weekend" threat. True to his word, he did advertise it, and Sunday night I thought "fuck it", and sent him a txt. Ended up heading to Levin the next night to secure it, as they'd already been a few offers from Northerners to transfer the monies. And get this, the price he told me in person - it went on trademe for 500 bux less, so that's what I paid, score! It's totally bone stock. Wheezy little engine that manages to do 100km/h, not even sure what it is - 1300 I guess, haven't bothered to check! Do know it's a 4 speed, and judging from the sparse dash and no rev gauge... povo spec. He had a dog as you can tell by the shredded seats, but carpet, door card, and everything else is ok. Mechanically fine, but was out of oil when I checked, small leak from head under rear plug so keeping an eye on that. Brakes are gay. Haven't got round to getting my NZ licence back yet, so this is in Ness's name. That's 4 cars she owns. It's got 90k on the clock. Fuel gauge has given up. Plans are to initially lower it on some decent rims. Later down the track go the whole hog and drop in the home built (not by me) 13B baby pp engine I have, series 2 gearbox I have and all my ex-RX-7 bits like carb, pump and whatever else fits. Got a stereo too with USB and iPod connectors which will go in the little shelf area. Got the wireless for talkback. Bit of background on me. My name is Hayden. I had a website called aotearotor.co.nz back in the day. I moved around a bit and spent the last 10 years in London. Started a old school rotary club there called Exile (exile-rotorsport.com) - that's been going since 2006. Moved home just prior to xmas 2013.
