Hii guys, my names Brenton, just about finished skwl up here in QLD, and lookin to do a mechanics apprenticeship hopefully *fingers crossed i get the job at local mazda/subaru dealership* :p
I got a 1991 BG SP Astina, bought it for $750 with a blown headgasket. Let it sit for a little too long and when we got to getn the heads off found half a pool full of water in no 2 + 3 pistons :mad: so since then have had the engine totally out, and is almost back together after $950 and brand new pistons, rings, bearings, refaced both sides of the block, head, polishing the crank journals, im left with a car that will hopefully be going by Christmas (me and my father have done all the pulling apart and putting together, and got all the engine work and parts at Re-Power Toowoomba)
Will be good to have it on the road, my first car (im only 17), so yehh... Hi guys :) :cool:
