    Classic- Only VJ's I've seen here with the louvred section behind the glass are transplants because of those great padded rust traps they usually come out with.
    Like the standard rims and hubcaps-nice touch. Ditched the wheel-arch moulding chrome-good idea.

    Never got that far with mine. Had branched exhaust made so I could run open headers thru knock-off caps for the drags (1/4 @ 13.1 from memory but had 340 w/ Holley 800, A-833 4-spd from '71 Duster -so not quite stock) with dual pipes for street. Ran with a full tank of gas as ballast most of the time-then always forget and floor it and drench the car behind me in gas -the oh-so-secure side hinged quick release gas cap!

    Had the same problem. Even worse with my coupe (CJ 360) big doors-average hinges. Not a good combo-especially when people hang all over them

    Sorry about the picture of paper way out-a-line!

    Both doors open-from door tip to door tip 4.9 meters- Just centimetres from the overall length of my current car! :evil:
    13.1 not slow (I've people around me telling me that a subbie does 1/4 @ sub 14 & I really try to act interested with smile and yehh which turns into yawn)

    I usually drive a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 Diesel!! Main reason = 75mpg

    I also have a couple of what could be called classics.

    1994 Nissan Skyline R33
    1984 Porsche 924s

    Both are currently parked on my drive doing very little at the moment :( If I get time one of them will be run during the summer.

    Mark.

    1990 S-10 Extend cab, with the 4.3L V6 in it and the 5-speed manual, with about 115,000 miles on it (not bad for a 20 year old rig :D ). I just picked it up about a year ago after my 83' caprice classic caught fire :(.

    Did a full tune-up on it couple weeks back, and it man does it have some power. First manual I have owned,and I'm having to try not to break the tires loosing going from 1st to 2nd :p.

    Only thing its missing is 4 wheel drive. But other than that I love my little pickup :D.

    A silver, 2005 Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon 1.9 TiD 150. Performance and economy, though I'm wildly jealous of the majority of those living in the US who can purchase V8 mustangs for pretty much what my Saab cost!!

    I'd have an absolute field day if I lived in the US/Canada! :D

    Does a VW Passat pass as a car - or would it fall into the 'barge' class my mates put it into :p

    I love my car, seeing that my now ex-wife wouldn't let me spend to much money on it during our marriage. One of the first things I did shortly after the ink dried on the divorce papers, was I went out and dumped some coin into the car by upgrading the stereo system, from the stock GM radio to a nice 1000 watt Kenwood pull out deck with a amp, cap and huge trunk mount sub with three 10's mounted into the box.

    I'm the car's only owner, bought it off the show room floor at Roseville Pontiac in 1999. It has about 187, 500 miles on it. Original V-6 Buick Series II engine, original automatic transmission, almost original everything!
