Mario, no, the engines are in the garage here and the rest of the car is at my Mum's place. It will look the same again when it's finished. Not rusted out badly or anything, just needs rewiring and basically putting back together replacing worn brakes, tie rods and kingpins along the way, it had a hard life in my earlier years used to run the XU1 spec 202 and celica ironcase 4 speed with 3.89 ratio in the rear, in such a light car with that gearing it 'never' blew up a diff and fairly hammered off the line leaving many wondering WTF! but would run out of puff before it got to 90mph I love the old girl and never really looked at it as an investment but yes, I suppose it has appreciated

just out of curiosity,  would anyone on the forum know who'd be able to restore the wood on the steering wheel pictured below and how much this type of repair may cost?

When I figure out how to put pics on by myself I shall show my list of cars from age 17 ['36 ford sedan]  through MG TF 1500, A/Healy 100, and a fair few more, including things I should have never sold [500cc Excelsior Manxman] and some that I should never bought! cheers pancho.

yea burgundy was one of the more popular colours in the vj range. i picked mine up from wagga wagga. that isnt the original colour. its a few shades lighter than the original. it got restored in the mid 80s. it had been my dream car since i was 8. when i twas 15 found one for 8k... i came up about 5 k short.. ha. was spewing. 10 years on this one came up. i couldnt let her get away from me. they are a wolf in sheeps clothing... people wont understand what they go like for a stockie until you ride in one. mine has a set of extractors an some pipes an it leaves my mates vu ss as if it was standing still. staged or rolling. it wont care.
