1990 323 Astina

RYANabc · 09-09-2012, 06:45 PM

Hi guys,
New to the forum, this is my first post!
Just wanted to show you my 90' 323 Astina.
It's a 1.8L SOHC as you will see by the photos.
The chasis has done 344XXXkms so I assume the engine has done around the same, not 100% sure as I wasn't there when the car was purchased for me.
It has Auscar 16 inch rims and I have recently installed white H4 globes.

A bit of background on the car.
This baby was purchased for me approximately one year ago now, the man it was purchased off had two kids whom both used it for their L's. The son, who was the eldest, bought it off his father when he got his P's and used it until he found another car. By this time the daughter was just starting to learn to drive, so she brought it off her brother.
She also used it for her L's and her P's and then when she found another car I'm pretty sure she gave it back to her father.
He said that it had just been sitting in the shed and hadn't moved so he decided to sell it.
We picked it up for $800, which is good price! I was just starting to learn to drive myself when we got it and I have recently got my P's so it's had a few learners and provisonal drivers!

Anyway, here's a few photos.

My friend though it was a good idea to reverse into me last night :/
Also, sorry about the crappy quality, the photos were taken with my phone.

Do you have any ideas of some mods I could do?
I'm open to ideas so long as it's not tooo costly.

Cheers,
Ryan.
