Thanks people.
![]() This car is good for a comfortable ride. Hope to keep it until I finish Uni, which is a while away (5 years or so). If it can last that long, i'll be pretty happy. After uni, FPV! - F6 if they are still around then. ![]() I am getting LPG installed this Friday. Does anyone know if it will fit with the current extractors. I remember reading that someone had a similar problem. |

My first ride was an '84 vk commodore, trust me the au will see you through uni mate, I remember when Mr Hardware got his and we all paid him out, god what a surprise I got when I finally drove the thing!
Even more so when I bought my ghia! Congrats on the car, welcome to the club. |

I always thought it was normal to have a crappy first car. Apparently having an AU is good now. Yay! So i'm grateful.
![]() Still, having a car is good. No more public transport ![]() ![]() I am pretty speed hungry at the moment. I already want another car |

Here's two photos I took of my original colour, then the black-painted version about half an hour later. Thought you'd be interested to see:
