well hello everyone at australian magna!

my name is mitcham, i have a ts magna executive which has been my mum's since new, in reality i have had the car for months now but it has been sitting in the back of our shed under wraps, until now.

next year it will be registered and put back on the road, but before then it needs a few things, first of all, new head gaskets and seals for the taillights. and on a not so important note, wind deflectors for cruising with the windows open, and a cd player.

about the car-

it is a 96 [?] model ts, with a v6 in it, but i have no idea what one that would be. i might have a look when i go out, it is couloured rose grey, which is a light silver with a tinge of rose which is extremely hard to see mind you. since last night, i have removed hubcaps, debadged the rear end, [except for the mitsubishi badging] and polished all of the rear end, bootlid, rear quarters and the bumper, well doesnt sound like much but it ytook me until 1 30 this morning.

plans for the future- keep polishing, polish the stock black rims and wheel nuts, and basically it will be then run around as an everyday driver.
oh by the way it is a 5 speed manual with a grey cloth interior.

other cars-
2 hr special strationwagons [1966 holdens]
1 hr premier stationwagon [same as above, all are restorers and the prem is in the shed with my magna ready to have the engine taken out]
1 hk brougham [1968 holden, basically the first statesman, beautiful interiors, look for pics of a hk interior i promise it is worth it, the material is $300 a square meter to import from america!]

also in the family-
1 hk premier [1968 holden]
1 vl group a ss [1988 walkinshaw, first ever hsv]
1 ford ghia, late 80's, dont know model.
1 vs commodore
1 ba ford [government car]
soon to be 2 celicas, [76 and a 84, acquired for $150 for both, the gearboxes will be put into the hr's. i believe one celica has a supra gearbox or something, the 84]

well thanks for reading this and i hope to be here in the future with queries about the car and just for a chat. oh, i heard about the website from my mate sam kosky, and go the gareth twin turbo, whic i was lucky enough to riude ion adam's blue example on its return trip from melbourtne to sydney.
goodbye all- mitcham
