Rupewrecht's Substitute
Withdrawal.
Trawling eBay and Gumtree Seeing that there's an Astina for sale for $450 Offering $300 for it. ...and picking it up this afternoon. The good: 2.0 V6 manual towbar very clean inside. new radiator cruise control The bad. 273XXX kms Blows a very small amount of smoke under load. Front end is a bit clunky Tint is fogged, peeling and faded A couple of dents Clearcoat is gone from upper panels. A few bits of broken trim driver seat base is broken The LOL Original CVs and clutch it actually drives very well. Did the trip back from Ballarat (1.5hrs) with no issues at all. Much torquier than the FP 1.8 4cyl that took me up there. Plans? See what it'll need for a RWC. Drop a Mazdaspeed seat in it quicksmart. If too much needed, then use bits off it for the one trapped in Workshop Hell™. It's worth at least what i paid in parts. Is it wrong that i bought a new set of Tein springs for it (the 3rd last set in Japan of discontinued stock) about a week ago? LOL
