Looks pretty tidy. Nice to find a red thats 20 years old and doesn't look too faded as well

Good stuff Rob!

Think we need to have a hatch party

Yeah it needs a goood polish but the paint is surprisingly not bad at all. Even the pinstripe / stickers are in good nick.

Hatch party sounds good. I had a thought of more of us buying hatches and hitting SDMA in a "Team SAU Hillclimb Series" or some such...

There's some guys on R31Club who have started there own "Pinny Cup" with limited budget, control tyres etc... Just a thought.

and yeah sorry Chris but the wheels I mentioned for your Charade are now in use.

Haha I saw that, but it's all good!

I've decided the small damage to the rim isn't too bad and got new tyres fitted yesterday

Red = Fav Colour. This is my first red car though.

Just took it for a small Fang to get some milk. Really weird driving at night with no dash lights.

Fun to drive though and more punch than the Micra.

Is that thing dohc?

Mine is a single. I find its really punchy down low but not much up top haha. Pretty nippy little thing. Heaps of body roll - Almost need a bucket seat

Might get some thicker sway bars and stiffer springs at some stage

Nah Sohc... Holden Engine I believe. (Astra and Camira?)

Might try the old "98 octane and advanced timing" trick.

Congrats Chris and Rob on your new buzzboxes

Shoulda bought my Swift Chris when I had it up for sale. Sold it for $750 rego'd and running mean

It was racing red too !

[dontyellpl0x]

Should have! If it were still for sale when I decided I wanted a cheap daily I definitely would have

[Anfanee]

Re did the washer lines (Richard is probably saying finally!!)

Cleaned more.

Found out the rear brakes on my daily are seized. fark. More money

Yep this^^^ but who knew?

I found one of the Fuseable links in the engine bay was fried and barely connected so I slapped a chunky bit of wire in it and it works!

Seems it was actually the main power link too cause the SkyHatch wouldn't even turn over without it.

oh and I slapped the dash and now the dash lights work.

Not sure about the 'slap' .... as with women I often found a gentle caress in the right spot could create a spark.

could be moisture in the joint
