[break]

Toyota Celica RA60 ('82) - First car. Was a bit of a bucket, but had brand new interior and a sunroof and did some awesome circle work :mrgreen: Car was white.

Ford Falcon S ('90) - This car was in the family since new. Has the sporty 139kw 3.9mpi engine. I sprayed the interior in metallic cyan and had blue/black leather. steering wheel and blue/black seatcovers. Another white car.

Holden Barina ('01) - Just a simple XC 1.4L manual. My folks bought me this to save me money as the Falcon was getting to the point in its life where it needed alot of little things repaired. This car came with its wheels fitted already, so all I have done is fit the new head unit (with the fascia adapter), stickers on the rear window, full set of white AXS seatcovers... and then I detailed the engine bay (which reminds me.... gotta redo a few bits again).

[oneightoo]

my ex girlfriend had one of them excels, she also had a nice fibreglass body kit on it, which i ended up fixing for her about 5 times cos she doesnt know how to go over speed bumps.. those excels dont do too bad i must admit.. i never really challenged anyone cos i had only just gotten my licence and wasnt used to the clutch.. but when i did give it some, it did go very quickly.. my SRi would still rip it a new one tho..
