mine was an 87 mitsi colt. it was a piece of s*#t but I loved it. I called it whiplash coz it was an auto and when it would finally kick into 2nd gear the whole car jolted and hurt everyone's neck.

td gemini, rubbed back to bare metal, freshley primed, got the door jambs and engine bay painted and a freshly rebuilt 2ltr with tx big valve head and single 50mm side draught.

ended up selling it to a bloke down the street from us who wanted somthing to drive around while he pulled his v8 vk apart for a rebuild.

he ended up getting the paint finished and a set of dragway 4 spoke indy's, sold the vk 3 months later.

was always kinda proud of that :twisted:

well my first car or should i say cars , were torana's . a lc 2 door and a lj 4 door, sadly they wern't the 6cyl versions . they had flat nose's and crappy
90 degree angle over head cam 1.6's. they were also filled with rust and ratshit :shock: . but they did give me a bit of experince in cuting, welding, painting , ect,ect,ect.
my first road registiered car was a white te panelvan , i'm guessing it was taken up to the snowies a fair bit. it had snow radials allround , huge foggies on the front bumper and a fair bit of rust.
but it wasn't a bad car to learn in and did nice burnouts. had a 1.8 in it and i still have the donk sitting in the garage waiting for a rebuild.

my first car and gem was a bunky TE for $900 complete with rusty floor pans and boot and 2 darker blue doors on the drivers side and 400,000kms on the dial but drove amazingly, almost as good as my TG with the rebuild. think the diff was f*cked, sometimes it would kick both on road then it would pull single peggers on grass :S then desire for a proper project grew so i started the hunt, after owning my TE for bout 7months i sold it and miss it :( and now have my TG/project/daily. Im still yet to get a proper job to fund my obsession.

it actualy looks pretty dam clean in this pic. Found out the car is now dead :( drove perfect when i had it and she had it for a week and the alternator went and then she did the breaks and the master cylinder? now sits out in the rain i think.
