Car is mechincally great, except needing the turbo re-coed as the tranny has been rebuilt and engine has been serviced every 5k, all work carried out on the car by Pro-Mech in Richmond, Melbourne.

I'm really just trying to get a feeling on what ppl would pay for a vehicle in this condition and weighing this up against if i should keep it etc etc etc.

yeah i was hoping for around the 4.5k mark from my estimate...

and yes the car was insured as 3rd party fire and theft.... had planned to go to full comp but obviously got caught in accident before hand... ended up being 50/50 .... so i lucked out on it.. didn't have to pay for repairs to the other car , but am now left with it.

sitting at home for 4mnths... has ova time made me get ova it and want to move on :rolleyes:

Engine is perfect, except turbo requires a reco, box is just been rebuilt and brand new clutch that has seen less than 200k's

one rim has minor scratchs.. nothign that can't be fixed...rubber(rears are pretty much new, fronts 60% tread)

i'm trying to basically weigh up if some1 wants it as a whole or i have to start wrecking it... id prefer to obviously too off load the lot at a redueced price.. but yeah see what offers i get from you guys i get :rolleyes:

mark

sure, i'll be letting every know who have left pm's and emails etc with prices if i decide to seperate.

the box is in perfect like new condition... pro mech in richmond did the rebuild :) have all receipts :D

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
