Moved to aus a few weeks ago and spotted a Barina GSi for $500 no pics, crap description on Gumtree, well thought balls to it and managed to get it for $200 (about £120 quid)









Paint is feckered, engine snapped a rod, gonna try and source a 16xe until funds permit to buy a Calibra for the engine. But it keeps us busy!

Away ready to begin work on



Also got project number 2 when we can find a donar vehicle



I'll be getting a project thread up in the next few days when we start work

Great project! Is there anything different from them to our version? If so then you should get all the parts delivered from here and have something pretty cool over there

Will be an interesting project anyway with the amount of work it needs.

I've got X16 rods if you want one sending over, not sure what the availability of engines is like over there.

Kenny - nothing I have found so far apart from it's got aircon

Vxscott - no rot or rust apart from a scab on the roof edge, underneath is near as damn it perfect

Ian - I'll get the engine stripped and let you know as that would be a big help

Stan - yeah they can be, cars over the west are expensive fullstop as they dont rot, etc
