Hi all,

I have an old C210 Skyline I was planning on doing up for my little brothers first car. I just haven't had the time to work on it and he is fast approaching his P's test this year and needs to get some driving in. We have decided to cut our losses with the money we have spent on it and sell up. I have no idea how much they are worth, but I would like to see atleast $500 for it. I got it off my cousin who purchased it off a little old lady who I believe had her sice day one!

Good points:

- The engine kicks over everytime and drives beautifully!

- New plugs, leads, air filter, oil/oil filter, washer bottle etc

- All electrics work apart from one of the electric windows

- I have brand new rear struts for it, I havent had the time to put them in but obviously you can take them

- Auto trans works a treat

- Interior is in one piece, there are a few little stains on the carpet, but that is to be expected for a car of this age

Bad points:

- There is a few dings in it, again, its an old car!

- One elec window doesn't work

- The AC doesn't work, there is no belt connected to the compressor and it seems to be seized

- Brakes need attention, they pull up, but wont lock up. I have bled front and rear which has helped a little.

Only pics I have at the moment are off my phone, but I will try to race home straight away this arvo and take some of the car itself and the bad points on it.

Thanks!

Please feel free to call me on 0416240433 or email [email protected]

I like...

How good is the interior, especially the seats and the boot? It's an all black interior Im guessing from the pic. Is the front bumper damaged, or is it just a funny reflection? Finally, is there any rego left on her?

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately it is not an all black interior, however the seats are in excellent condition. It has no rego, last rego'd in July 05.

Here are a bucket load more pics I raced out early this morning and took! Sorry I couldn't get any up earlier, we just got accepted on our first house so we have been quite busy lately! :laugh:

Oh and BTW, it needs to be gone before I move other wise I'll be a dead man! ;)

I am sure those would have answered a few questions and satisfied some needs :wave:

I have passed on your details to my friend Ali. You should hear from him tonight. Good luck with the sale, and if it doesnt go ahead Ill try to pick her up for myself!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
