oh thats a shame..it was a really nice car!! good luck with finding the perfect stag

Too bad I already own the perfect stag :P lol!

Seriously what I mean is that once you find a stagea you're happy with and have owned it for a few months, ironed out any problems (if any exist), and start to personalise it and modify it (if you wish to), it will be your perfect STAGEA!

Good luck with your search. As long as you get a stag in fairly good condition, you wont be disappointed. :)

wtf is going on in perth did someone take out a full page in the west advertising stageas? they seem to be walking out the door at autowholesale.

there is going to be more stageas in perth than in the whole of australia soon if people dont stop buying them.

good point mcnamq....

Well ive seen 3 stageas. (as in, ive seen another stagea 3 TIMES) since i got mine here a YEAR ago. (my 12 mth rego is up for renewal). to see another one of your own ca 3 times in a year is prety cool. at least 4-5 times a week i get asked what it is, who makes it, what is in it etc by randoms at petrol stations etc. love it.

A few more stageas in SA wouldn't hurt :D

Its great to have a unique car, but maybe not so unique everyone's first reaction is "what is that?! is it a volvo?".

I'd rather people think "nice stagea" than "is that a volvo?" :(

you just have to make it unique... and I hate the 'is that a volvo' too pixel... AS IF I'd Drive a volvo :D

I drove a PT and they are common these days but not so much that you'd pull up next to one, and people still commented 'nice car' etc..

stageas would never get as common as the PT so no need to worry guys.

Cant wait to get my new one. THAT bad boy is gonna turn some heads.

Especially when you nail the throttle and the noise of the open dump hits - you can hear it a mile off!!!

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
