NZGT4 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Kia ora! Meet Helga, the newest edition to the line up. Just got it off TradeMe for a massive $500. Its an insurance write-off as you might be able to tell from the picture. The damage isnt that bad really, the radiator is poked (if anyone has a spare hit me up) and and the top rad support is pretty bent. It still runs just fine though and it sounds awesome! Straight six for the win! The plan for Helga is to be a paddock basher at my folks place and to also enter the Dirt Drags in October down Cambridge ways. If you own a 280SE like this one and you need some parts then let me know and I might be able to take it off as long as I can still drive it haha I've got a little to do list.... -Fix radiator/retro fit another one off something at pick a part -Weld the diff. Need all the tractions for on the dirt -Straighten up the bonnet -Strip the interior to make it light weight (hahahahahaha....... its a bloody tank!) -Mad max exhaust through the bonnet -Pod filter -Maybe give it an oil change -Any other suggestions? like I said before, if you need parts hit me up, I'd rather see them go to use then just get completely smashed up. If you have any ideas on what we can do to it then also comment. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
