Hi everyone,

Well ive bought another GT Magna.

This one is... the best one available i reckon?

It is one owner, 185kms, brand new motor put in at 133kms. Manual, Tint, towbar, beautiful condition. It Had a dealers release form in the glove box explaining what a GT Magna was along with the specs (ive been hanging out for something like that!) and a few boxes with the gold striping in them!! Ill probably get some copies made up from them.

Oh, and the number plates... GT 2600... I love it!

Had to give the wheels good scrub with degreaser and a toothbrush before i could take the photos though, pretty solid with brake dust!

Anyway, sorry theres so many photos of the same car following... but i just think it deserves it!!

good job, thats in awsome condition

verry nice mate there is one of those around here

that looks very original condition!! nice find ... i miss my old TP :(

edit: Hey what did the GT have diff from the standard besides what i can see in the pics ?

That looks nice, best colour for them. :D

Looks clean as! Wana swap? lol

Wow! That's in awesome condition. One thing I never liked about the grey interior, is the colour of the dash never matched the rest of the interior.

My TP had brown interior and the dash didnt match either ... the dash had a purple tinge to it :P

Oh my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my . :drool: :drool:

Of course you realise, I now hate you. lol

Thats shweet :2cool:

That's fabulous! One of the best looking 1st Gens I have ever seen.

Out of the 1000 GTs, how many do you own now?

astrons go well with a turbo

never underestimate the power of a chilli sausage

GOD DAM U SUX j/kS:D
Now serious , u got the best color one thats for sure, gotta love the blue gems.
Alteast i know where to go for parts in the future hehe

I've seen this one around before :D

I've seen this one around before :D

U might have been mistaken for Breakers (think it was his) blue gt thats on the new amc flyer. It got written off last year this ones different.

man thats awesome

Damn, what a score....:clap: :2cool:

Very nice buy :thumbsup:
That car looks like it's brand new (or at least a Dealer demo car just driven out of the yard!




...It Had a dealers release form in the glove box explaining what a GT Magna was along with the specs...
...Hey what did the GT have diff from the standard besides what i can see in the pics ?Interesting question. Mind posting the GT list... :pray:



Is that (below) the air filter box? :shock: - you'd fit a Pod Filter in that thing! :think:

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_0841.jpg

verry clean, mind posting the gt build numbers i have number 667 in white

whats the extra box on the firewall? alarm?

This guy needs to be restrained before he purchases all known GT's left in existence!!!!

That is such a nice car.......group photo of your GT's FTW

At least when you meet people and they ask what car do you have you can say "about 15 GT's.......................magna GT's:redface: "

Your a freak...Keep up the hunting!!!

I never thought I'd say this about a first gen... but that's **** hot.

Oh My God!!! I dont think a first gen magna has ever had so much attention!! hehe. Thanks for all the comments...
I have a dilemma though... what do i do, shall i leave it as it is... completely as it was new, or should i do my customizations i do to them?

Including... TL magna badge, gold gt badge, wheels, gold pinstriping on bonnet, gold elit grille, elante kit (magna badges on skirts) etc etc... see photo below for my other blue one

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_0429.jpg
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_0434.jpg

I reckon im gonna leave it as is coz its soo nice! (that one there is my other one) I reckon i should have the totally stock one kept liek it is though?


Out of the 1000 GTs, how many do you own now?[QUOTE=Gav]

Of the 1000... i have 2 burgandy (1 auto, 1 man), 2 blue (1 auto, 1 blue) and a white manual. I also have a blue smashed up one.

Heres the smashed up one upon delivery for those who havent seen it hehe
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/wreckers.jpg

Plus 6 Elantes and a few normal ones!

Heres an old photo of the collection, plenty have come and a couple gone since then though!

Thats been written about a few times on here... basically not too much, theyre more of a run out model than anything i think. I just love them coz theyre rare and i reckon they look great! Almost not like a standard magna does if that makes sense...? The colour, front spoiler, rear spoiler, black door handles, wheels, Elante suspension, redesigned front seats with better trim, gold stripes:P Thats all i can think of off hand! Add to the list anyone?

[QUOTE=PeteW]verry clean, mind posting the gt build numbers i have number 667 in white

Yea thats an alarm, how do you know youre build number? Its only like a double sided page... dosent get that in depth. Says 40% of production in white and 30% each for the blue and burgandy.

Anyway, keep up the compliments hehe, i can see the magna's smilling outside haha

Alex.

Oh yea, i forgot to mention, apart from my first gens i also have a TJ solara that i bought written off (and still is, but i use it on trade plate)

Its smashed in the rear, but here it is on the last sa magna cruise!!

I thought i had to have atleast one 3rd gen magna.... you know seeing as i have 17odd 1st gens hehe:redface: :D

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_0809.jpg

See you cant even tell its damaged... from teh front :doubt:

last three digits of the vin number i belive, picked one thing what its missing from the engine :P

last three digits of the vin number i belive, picked one thing what its missing from the engine :P

Hmmm, I see two things missing, from a stock TP engine bay that is.

Nice find Alex, you must be searching long and hard to find these things :P

Oh My God!!! I dont think a first gen magna has ever had so much attention!! Credit where credit is due.



...what do i do, shall i leave it as it is... completely as it was new, or should i do my customizations i do to them?With that many 1st Gens and one blue one already modded, I'd leave this one stock/restored.



......i have 2 burgandy (1 auto, 1 man), 2 blue (1 auto, 1 blue) and a white manual. I also have a blue smashed up one... ...Plus 6 Elantes and a few normal ones!...I've noticed there's not so many 1st gens on the road lately - You've got them all :shock: lol

I've noticed there's not so many 1st gens on the road lately - You've got them all :shock: lol

Hmmm, I kind of respect Alex for having them. Have you seen the state of some first gens out there?

You would think the owners thought they were commodores and didnt deserve attention or something.. :nuts:

Owning a car is a privilege, you would think the owners would look after their cars. I've moved on to all cars in general here, not just 1st gens. :D

Alex is preserving some old good first gens, and keeping them away from bad owners in the process. I think thats good, if I had the money I think I would get a second one, maybe even buy one of Alex's (cause there's none left available in SA). lol

I think you need a TP stretch limo dude! get to work on one .. you have enough spares! :badgrin: Photochop op?

haha thanks for the Respect!!:cool:

I dont know if i could get anyone to pay to go in an old magna limo... there may be some crazy people out there liek me though hehe. (no offense to anyone who would lol)

Ok, i now have the proper names for the paint colours.

Riviera Blue (FX) 30% of total production
Regency Red (JA) 30% of total production
White (WK) 40% of total production

Total Production value is 1000 vehicles, 600 manual and 400 automatic transmission.

Also the seat trim material design is called "plato"

Theyre from the Product Information Bulletin from the Marketing didvision of Mitsubishi, witten in August 1990.

All your cars look good mate but I have to ask, What the hell are you going to do with so many cars? :P

REGO COST x (# of cars) = COST OF HOBBY :P

All your cars look good mate but I have to ask, What the hell are you going to do with so many cars? :P

Maybe he going to hire them out to us:badgrin: GT hire anyone?

Here's one you missed!! (WA)

"This car is no longer available for sale. Please click here to search again."

:bowrofl:

Carcycle isnt going to like this, whatever the car may have been.

:bowrofl:

holy shi!t that was quick! rofl

edit: nar its still there $1000 for a white 1990 GT search it on Carsales.com.au "magna under $2500"

You're right... Not Happy!!!

hehe, that $1,000 white one used to be $1,500... not good enough though, no wheels and just dont look good enough!!

Plus a bit hard to get lol, havent got one from there before!!

Dont worry, i check out those carsales sites a couple of times a week !!

That's the second GT ive seen advertised from WA... both of them have an extra red stipe in amongst teh gold, also have grand tourer written on the back next to the magna badge and on the rear end of the stripes... id imagine thatd be a dealer's thing they added from new for it to be on the two ive seen, the same!? Unless some crazy magna collector owned them and added them at some stage? Anyone from WA and have any answers?

Alex!

Yea thats an alarm, how do you know youre build number? Its only like a double sided page... dosent get that in depth. Says 40% of production in white and 30% each for the blue and burgandy.

Alex.

And 1 black one. A guy who worked on the line managed to get one painted black through the paint shop. If you want the rarest GT then look for that one. Only genuine Black GT built. :D

Beautiful example you got there, pretty much perfect condition.:cool: I have to ask though, where do you keep them all and do you drive them all? Say, one on Monday, another on Tuesday etc? Would be fun though to walk out and think which car should I take to work today.:think:

Is this sort of like the manual Elite?

Yeah i know! I've heard of this black one... does anyone know who owns it, and if its been looked after and still fairly good?

I saw it once late last year and thought i was imagining that it was black but then it got mentioned so yea... any more details on it?

It will be mine someday!!!:badgrin:

i saw u in ure new gt lol near my worh again....u should whack ure gold rims on it...it'll look the part:cool:

Man id have the manual elite. with the kit and lowered. would have to have the whole luxury pack...man that would be a good car...

Well i thought id post it on the end of this post rather than create a new one...

I bought a white TN Elante on Sunday, manual, nice condition:badgrin:

Will post up some photos when i get some... The collection continues to GROW!!!!

There's a damaged TP Elite and a TN Elite coming up for auction on friday, will porbably grab those two too, ill let ya know!!

you are truly a freak:P
With all this money youve spent on first gens you could of got a nice AU XR6 or something:P

Ok ok...dude, i love my first gen as much as anyone, but why buy so many? :S

Ok ok...dude, i love my first gen as much as anyone, but why buy so many? :S

I really don't get the 1st gen collection either, it's like making a collection of turds... not something many people would be proud of and aren't exactly thrilling things to keep.

hey its his hobby and personally i would love the opportunity to see all of these first gens :D

Can anyone say, money-pit? :confused:

Can anyone say, "They're all for sale?":doubt:

Can anyone say, "They're all for sale?":doubt:
Can anyone say, "They're first gens and from what I have seen lately they aren't in that much demand?" :shock:

Leave him alone he obvioulsy loves the cars..
hey if i could have 20 odd 2nd gen GT's laying around (if there were such a thing? im sure they'l look good :eh:) i would too..
Ugly to me as they may be, the GT ones look pretty nice and he has quite a few nice ones!

That's right, i think they look nice, and are rare to come accross (although im finding that im buying quite a few :doubt: )!

No offense to anyone, i dont over greatly care for the 'standard' TM - TP Magna unless its in great condition because most of them are not in a half good condition getting around these days.

But hey, one day, one day.... $$$$ :badgrin:

Haha, who knows, i doubt it but theyre so cheap nowadays that i dont care! Even Chargers now are worth a fortune just in bits or whatever so theres a bit of hope!

But the thing that may shock you all is that Magnas are not the only car i like hehe! Like i have said before, we have a car/bike yard so i do have plenty of cars myself... just 15- 20 Magnas in stock as well!

I'll get some pics of the new elante up soon:D

Alex.

carcycle iv had a look at your website and noticed you sell some cars on it. are there specific cars that you own as your hobbie that arnt for sale or are all your cars for sale?

Everythings for sale, including all hobby cars etc... at the right price (to me)!!!!

For example... The blue GT magna this thread was started about would be $4,500... because you cant get a better one than it... if noone wants to pay that, then i dont care, im happy to have it :)

If someone wants to pay up... im even happier hehe!

yeah fair enough, i was just wondering. i might pay you a visit in november when im in adelaide. just for a browse:D

No worries hehe.

Well heres a photo of the newest addition, the TN Elante... Is a really nice genuine car, looks better in life than in a photo actually!

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_1002.jpg

Bonnet Protector is creating those yucky looking marks on the nose cone (just dirt that cant be got to without removing it!)

I also got my old white GT (first one id ever owned myself!) and the auto blue one out over the weekend and gave them a good wash and polish... theyre looking pretty sharp at the moment.

I bought a polished head cover for my burgandy GT and put that one the other day, will post a nice photo of that once i get one!

I cant remember if i wrote about the two Elites smashed up that i was considering buying in a previous post (shouldve read it first i guess!!) But i bought them, a TN & TP Elite...

And finaly, got one of my smashed up Magna's repaired.

Before and After!

So yeah, been busy... not really gaining much... apart from satisfaction in my cars i guess :)

Alex.

professional 1st gen collector?

Heres the photos of the damaged and undamaged one.

Alex.

I miss my first gen....

Well last friday i bought yet another damaged TP Magna.

This one looked beautiful (condition wise - apart from the damage) done 170kms, 1990, but is only a GLX (so carby motor unfortunately).

Anyway, damage wasnt too bad so ive fixed it over this week and took some photos this morning.

I had a TN Magna (wreck) with the same colour front so this is wearing that front now. Also put the alloys off my wreck TN Elite on it to make it look that bit nicer!

Also just bought back a TP Elante that we sold a few months ago that got pranged up!

Alex.

But hey, one day, one day.... $$$$ :badgrin:
Sorry but I can't see the values of these cars sky rocketing in the next century.... i could be completely wrong but seems like a waste.

I'd rather have 1 or 2 nice cars rather than having 20 old rusting heaps lying around.

How many of them are actually registered and insured if you don't mind me asking?

I think its awesome, you hardly see these cars on the road at all today (and for good reasons) and to see someone taking care in these cars will one day pay off (keep em for another 30 years lol)

']I think its awesome, you hardly see these cars on the road at all today (and for good reasons) and to see someone taking care in these cars will one day pay off (keep em for another 30 years lol)


Even in 100 years there price will not increase, there 1st gen magnas!

Regardless if it makes you happy go for it although if your thinking that one day it will all pay off then im afraid you are mistaken carcycle sorry!!

Well in 30 years i doubt we'll see one of these on the road, so the less there are the more they would be worth.
He has nice ones though thats the thing, regardless or not if there 1st gens, He really takes pride in them and they are some of the best 1st gens ive ever seen

Geeeesh!!

I dont post on here to get attacked hehe, nah thats ok... I'm not disagreeing about future values... Magna's are not the only cars i have and indeed not my most 'favourite' of all my cars. They just make up a big group of them.

I have a Jeep, Range Rover, VT, XG ute, TJ solara, TE Magna,
several motorbikes, a 77 rolls and my favourite car is my CSV Corsa Volanti Commodore. As ive said before, my dad has a yard so i have plenty, i like to think i have a few 'nice cars'... and 20 Magnas:redface:

But Magna's just bring out an obsession in me. But i dont over greatly care, atleast i dont have crap heap ones that you see on the streets. Most people laugh at them i know, most people think theyre nothing, i know... but, i dont.

Its not hurting anyone so i dont see any harm. But yeah, im not having them in the hope that they will be worth a fortune... theyre just here coz i like them and because... i can! But you never know........

And i agree you you too TuffTR... good comments hehe, thanks :)

and my favourite car is my CSV Corsa Volanti Commodore

ummm a lot of ppl don't even know they exist :D
like me with the GT magna :redface:

PS for the record as i'm sure you know the volanti isn't a commodore
actually isn't even holden :D

well i dont consider it to be, but you have to say that so people have some idea of what they are hehe...

photo for interest sakes!

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/VOLANTI.jpg

But dont get me wrong... i love my magnas too!!

are you selling the CSV and if so pm me the price
curious :D

Heres an old photo of the collection, plenty have come and a couple gone since then though!
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_0058.jpg



Whats that one on the far left (the red one) is it a elante post some more pics of it plz!!! looks awesome

So who makes this CSV? Looks like an identical copy of a commodore (body wise)

']So who makes this CSV? Looks like an identical copy of a commodore (body wise)
And so it should. Corsa Special Vehicles is another semi-factory Commodore tuner.

CSV "used" to get un complied shells from holden and fit their own interior trimmings and engine packages (either 5L or stroker in the VS days and from VT2 onwards the LS1) and a bodykit of their own design and had individual compliance plates.

i THINK from memory you won't find a holden plate on the car
HSV's have the holden and the HSV plates but i'm pretty sure these don't
charged a bucketload for the cars and eventually went broke but were considered a manufacturer

REGO COST x (# of cars) = COST OF HOBBY :P

This is easy, just swap the plates around whose gonna know :bowrofl:

If you wanted to be a bit more liegitamate just register one gt in every colour ha ha

Seriously though I have driven allot of nice cars in my time, but yeah the 1st gen magnas I felt in some areas were better than any other magna.....
I liked the light steering, the seats, digital dash, front mounted badge etc
They drive really smooth and some of the features they had were definately ahead of there time.

Looks great to have them all together, top job for being diffrent. I like :-)

I dont have many photos of that one... but heres a couple hehe!!

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_0061.jpg

200kw_vn, its ok its common knowledge how much im after, $12,000. So CSV are out of business hey? i had heard it but i wasnt sure!


JET-BLK, hehe, could easily be done! I dont need to though, generally what i do, is one runs out of rego... i buy another with rego :P Most magnas (of any decency) you look inside are all in pretty good condition inside, and they are very nice to drive, theyre powerful for what they are and even roomy! Mitsubishi advertised it correctly when they cam out as a new class of car... which i agree with!

Very nice :)

Good lord, ive just come accross two more GT Magnas on ebay...

a blue manual in nsw and a white manual in vic.

Went and had a look at a burgandy one last night, not sure whats going to happen with that yet.

An Elante that we sold a few months ago was smashed up a few weeks back, bought it back the other day rather than just having it sent to a wrecker. (the tow truck company sold it to a wrecked without my permission as i had bought the car back... so had a bit of a battle with that. (this is the one that is on the far right of the photos above!)

Photos anyone?
You can see the collection of wrecks in the background.

Now im going to sound totally insane, but i had to give it a wash and some tyre shine:redface:

These are obviously the uglier side to the collection. hehe.

Until next time....

Washing a damaged car...
you are insane:)
But that said the grey one looks like the paint is in tip top condition

Oii...let him take pride in his umm....portions of 1st gens? :bowrofl:

The paint is mint on that grey one, did you respray it as well despite the front end damage? lol

carcycle, are these wrecked magnas available to take parts from?

Hey Eveyone!!

Havent posted for a while... been a bit quiet on the Magna buying scene! But hopefully that's about to change... currently arranging a white GT Manual Magna to be coming my way from victoria... with only 73,000kms!!!

So yea, ill let you know what happens, but looking like it will be going ahead at this stage!

Ill then have 2 of each GT Magna colour made :P

As for my damaged Magna's, at the moment theyre not available for part taking. While im still in the process of fiddling around and repairing some damaged ones i just want to make sure i have the bits when i need them... but ill let everyone know when anyone can come and raid them!!

Speaking of which, i need a front for a red tp magna... nose cone, front left guard, bumper and bonnet. Anyone know of an abandoned/unwanted wreck in Adelaide that may have any of these bits? Trying to get another one back from the damaged state its in so any help would be great!

Alex.

Oii...let him take pride in his umm....portions of 1st gens? :bowrofl:

The paint is mint on that grey one, did you respray it as well despite the front end damage? lol


And no... i didnt paint it. I try and have only nice magnas... whether theyre going or damaged!! hehe:nuts: That Elante used to be one in my collection but someone bought it and smashed it... hence the niceness :D

Great to see people with interests and passion, nice site too.
Haven't seen your thread before, will keep checkin back from time to time.
And for the knockers, I don't think I can find anyone who loves magnas more.

atleast i know where to ask for parts in the future.

Its hard to find?

Dont you just click the last page link of my thread on the TM-TP forum page?

Anyway, if everyone agrees let me know and ill do another one next time.

Well after cleaning the motor, painting the exhaust header cover, washing and a good cut and polish the Newest GT Magna to the group is readyt to be revealed!

90, white TP, GT, Manual, 72,000kms!! One Owner.

Here she is...

Sorry about so many photos, enjoy!?

The sun makes it look not quite as good as it should... so i put a few in the shade in there!

Shall keep you up to date... here, or on another thread... you decide! haha.

Alex.

Oh, if you clicked on the last page link, go to teh page before this one for the full story :)

Thanks

Maybe you should try get the V6 model from NZ to complete your collection :)

Ack! Where the hell do you find all these cars from!

You should mod some, they would be much more appreciated. :P

Well ive got 2 of each of the gt editions now, and plenty of elantes... a v6 (v3000 are they called?) would be good to have though!

This last one come from victoria as you can probably tell by the plates, bought it off carpoint, was on there for ages and ages. probably because they were originally asking $4500 for it!! Dont worry, i paid a lot less than that :) when i got it it looked as though its been in the sun for the past few years, but now its been polished it really does look like a 70k car... so now youd have to pay me $4500 if anyone wants it hehe. Hopefully its the lowest km Grand tourer still around!

Looking at the photos again, they dont do it any justice, it does look a lot better than in the photos.

Oh, and i modify some of them!! Its just having so many you cant pour all your resources into one. But this one is definetly going to stay original. Just coz its soo nice.

Im in the process of fixing a tp exec with 104,000kms that i bought a few weeks ago, so look out for that one soon!

I also sold a TPSE i had for $2000, a week odd ago which went into the GT. Luckily didnt have to spend more.

By the way new, youre wagon is looking great and if you ever have to get rid of it... you know who to talk to :P

Anyway, thats all for now!

Alex.

wow, just read through this thread.

that is one immense collection, im one of those people who thinks that no matter what youre collecting, if youre passionate enough about it then its pretty awesome. :D

curious to know why that TJ solara is written off though...looks pretty mint to me? :p

should mod one to make them go better :)

this is about to go onto mine in the near future hopefully by mid jan

new head with the following done: shaved, combustion chambers shaped to M9 stile but not as crasy, intake valves cut at 45/35/25 getting 100% seal, gas valve seats, intake and exhausts ports flowed, cam sent off to the make her go good place (wade) for a custom grind. stock intake is being welded round the narrow bore of the throttle body neck then opened up to 60mm to suit trottlebody & a fuel reg to adjust the mix

waiting on cam to come back, looking for stiffer valve springs and plenum work to finish still, its all a process of time and money lol

Cheers Pete

they made a v6 tp? sweet!

they made a v6 tp? sweet!

yep. they used same 3lt v6 thats in our 2nd gens. i belive but if i'm wrong i'm sure to be corrected:D
but the body was different to our first gens. it looks close to a tm-tp but has a narrower body (by about 2 1/2 inches) thats due to it being modeled of the sigma body from japan i think.
Our first gens were also modeled off the sigma but the bodies were widened for us aussies.

anyone got one?

anyone got one?

Not sure. haven't seen or heard of one in australia. but you never know.

i want one!!!

Interesting as to whether they go any good or not... need to find a manual!

whats that? DOHC 3L conversion to a 1st gen?:bowrofl:
Imagine having a 3000GT engine in a f***** 1st gen OMG HAHAHAHAH
that would go SO HARD though!

I think this is it.
http://magna.trynsave.net/index.php?title=V3000

Interesting, i guess that would have a completely different transmission then the aus magnas.

Not sure. haven't seen or heard of one in australia. but you never know.
There was one that I knew of in Victoria, that was in Jan '07 though. No idea any further, tbh.

[QUOTE='[TUFFTR]']whats that? DOHC 3L conversion to a 1st gen?:bowrofl: QUOTE]

can't be a conversion if it came like that from the factory which it did in N.Z. Guess you could say it was the first 1st magna v6 even though it's not really a first gen magna.

No no i mean get the V6 over here and then do the 3L DOHC conversion.
That thing would go mental

Found another GT magna Alex, white, great condition rims and body kit parts etc.





At U-Pull-It northern yard. :|

http://www.joshuaburford.com/gtwreck.jpg

Sorry for the crap quality image, camera phone is all I had.

Had good interior and good manual gbox aswell.

how do u know a gt magna over another magna

Circled a few things that give em away. lol

http://www.joshuaburford.com/circled.jpg


I'll let Alex explain, he's the expert here.

LOL @ big red circle :bowrofl:
For me the stripes and grille give it away

How much to pull the entire car off the lot? Last I heard U-Pull-It were paying out $500 for these trade-in cars, although they'll probably go twice that amount to take it. Project car anyone? lol

i know where there is a blue gt magna then here in brissy not far from me .........i should get some part's of it for myself as for the circle around the bonnet ( side mirror ) whats the diff has mine looks the same as that

Yeah, some stupid price no doubt. I was wondering what was wrong with it.


whats the diff has mine looks the same as that

Oh, those are the slightly upgraded seats.

got ya now as mine has the same grill ...... heya neo u got any pic's of the inside of your magna wagon ?

got ya now as mine has the same grill ...... heya neo u got any pic's of the inside of your magna wagon ?

not really, dont have many, might take some photos later on though.

What!!! I was there last weekend... dammit! I even went to lonsdale too! The GT sedan and Wagon that were there are both gone now.

Must be fresh! Thankyou for spotting it for me.

May have to go and have a look... id probably only want the wheels (if tyres are reasonable) and the spoiler on the boot and maybe the seats if theyre great... so if anyones there and wants to get em for me, go ahead :) May have to head out there soon and check it out.

Is that your tool collection under the bonnet there? Get anything interesting?

As for the differences!!?? hehe, im sure its written somewhere, maybe even earlier in this thread??

Basically... limited build of 1000, 500 white, 250 burgdany. 250 blue. I own the biggest collection of them in the world haha:redface: i actually only have 2 of each colour and a wrecked blue one. they have the stripes, coloured mudflaps, lowered sportier suspenion (elante) made in 1990 only, nicer trimmed seats spoiler front and rear... umm... gold wheels!

Not that it all means much today, but i like them, and they are a 'real' thing, not a car yard done up and sold thing or something... dont go any better but just have more appeal over a standard one. Speaking of car yard ones, im 'releasing' my own special edition model!! just a few standard nice ones i have, putting TN Elite alloys and some pinstriping that im having sent over from canada and special edition stickers... Just doing that to the nicest of the plain ones i have to make something a bit more interesting!

Think that about covers it!

Alex.

Yeah it looked like a new addition to the yard. Yes those are my tools, it was clean underneath so I got some dust covers for my headlights.

The seats are in good condition, the rear left rim has a little damage on it, but there was a 'NEW' gold rim in the boot.

Yeah they had decent tyres on them, but you can get them to take tyres off and they'll only charge you $10 per alloy wheel.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/27122007365.jpg

Looks as though it belongs there a bit more now :badgrin:

Managed to get the grille, wheels, rear and front spoiler/bar cover and i think thats about it. Personally, i didnt think it was in that great-a-condition... but too good to be where it is :( 220ks.

Oh well, still reasonable condition GT Seats and coloured mudflaps there if anyones interested!

I got some Elante-esque wheels off a mazda 929 whilst there, thinking of using them on my special edition magna im making up... rather than the tn elite wheels. Will see though.

Looks as though i have another GT Magna on the way over from victoria... wasnt too keen on it as ive spent enough and have too many, but when they cant sell them and have to get rid of them cheaply i cant help it!! Strange why i keep buying them when i keep hearing of them at u-pull-it thesedays :confused:

This ones a white auto with 180kms. When it gets here it means ill have an auto and manual of each of the colours of GT magnas :redface: and a manual white one left over hehe

Anyway, heres a few preliminary photos from the seller, as you can see it looks like it needs a good clean up, but once thats been done ill get some new photos up... id say that wouldnt be till next year!

Im off to put the money into their bank account!

L0L at the transformation picture, did you get all that stuff off it or was it like that?

Also, is that a lug nut missing from the front wheel on that last pic?

Yea, i got all the missing bits, woulda cried if i got there and it was like it is in the photo after your shot of it a couple days earlier hehe!!

...well not really, almost though!?

As for teh front wheel... im not sure, the original pic is quite big and ive zoomed in on it... but cant tell, id imagine its a) a lock nut, seeing as theres not one on the back, i doubt it b) cracked wheel nut, on some of my other magnas with mags ive found that the chrome nuts have lost the "head?" of the nut so its hard to see or c) missing a nut/or a stanard black nut.

Hopefully its not the thread missing, doubt it... not a drama either way though... well i dont think it is anyway. Becuase the centre cap thing is missing, id guess its the spare wheel on the car and theyve dropped and or lost a nut when changing it. The front bumer (conveniently avoided in the photos) look a little damaged on the left side so id say theyve hit something and deflated the tyre that was on it, hence the few marks on the side of the car also. They look like theyll polish out though, i hope.

You would be surprised. I've had both, threaded spline inside the hub, and threaded bolts so I couldn't put nuts on.

those mudflaps? wat condition are they in and how much are they likely to cost?

id guess probably $5 each... or just take over and tell em youll give em $10 for the lot hehe... maybe.

Theyre no different to normal magna ones... just painted is all, if you have one with the mudflaps on it you might be able to get away with just a can of white spray paint?

But in my opinion they do strangley suite them, normally id put them under the category of completely nerdy and geeky but i painted some silver on a silver tn exec i have and not it looks like an elante if you look fast hehe.

Anyway, theyre at upull it elizabeth if youre interested. I dont have any in stock, only blue and grey (elante) ones spare... which arent really spare if you know what i mean hehe. (on wrecks, may use some time!)

i have alredy got a set. but i just thought it might be easier to get some white ones rather than painting. i need white ones to go with the kit. im also after the drivers side side skirt. got everything else.

If you have the rest of the skirts... that need to be painted the same colour id say paint teh mudflaps as well... that way they all match up and are all like new

Heres the new one!!

180kms, Auto, Beautiful Car. Came with a letter in the glovebox from Mitsubishi to the specifying that their car was a limited run of 1000 vehicles known as the grand tourer!! Dated 1994 and lists all the features. (Owner at the time obviously wrote to them asking if there was a reason their magna had gold stripes and wheels etc... i imagine?).

Anyway, interesting point i read, which im not sure if people are aware of or not, but option code A24 covers the Grand Tourer Package!

Alex.

Gosh i have to stop buying them!!! Atleast theyre all some of, if not, the nicest ones out there i suppose!

now you just need a safari wagon. saw one for the first time up close yesterday. the colour was werid 2 tone white on top and grey\silver on the bottom.

Used to have one of those... light blue over grey... dont like them though.

Gt's and Elantes, they have good interiors, mags, spoilers etc... safaris are well... not much hehe.

Sorry, dont mean to offend anyone!

But yea, if i come accross the best one left, by all means :)

yea i know what you mean but seeing as your crazy enough to own soooooo many than i thought for your museums sake you might just want one cos there not common and wasn't there less safari's than gt's?

Would like to see a copy of this letter to see what it mentions. Tried ringing mitsubishi when i first got my wagon but they didnt have any records . they mentioned something about the A 24 option .

This thread's been excellent reading.

carcyle, I love your enthusiasm of these hot, rare GT Magnas. And I agree they look very nice indeed you have brought each car up very well :clap: :clap:

If I had money i'd love to start my own private collection of all sorts of cars :drool:

Do you have a girlfriend/missus at all??? If so, just wondering if she is as keen as you with this unique collection :bowrofl:

Well done again mate!!!

if you come across a gt steering wheel spare pm me the orig one on mine was fubar had to go when the rwc got done, hmm 1st one ive seen as an auto? im happy with the 5sp.

Awww thanks, hehe, im glad ive encouraged an entertaining read :)

These days as cars seem to be more disposable (certain ones... ie:magnas) its not so much the cost of getting them all that creates a burden... its where to put them!

I do have a gf actually! lol, no shes not a Magna :) and no, she has no interest in my collection or in cars in general unfortunately... although she has a TH Magna hehe.

Yeah, ive seen yours plenty of time son the net, looks youre youre up to some good work there! Do you think youd put some gold wheels on it if you come accross them, or not looking? If you get lucky there could be a GT at a upull it wrecker place nearer you and you could get the steering wheel and wheels in one swoop!!

I think autos are just as common, i prefer a manual though. Have a GT Magna in each colour and each colour in an auto and manual!
If you feel like selling one day, let me know!

local wrecker has my moblie number if one comes in :) gave my self a cut off point on what work is being done to make it go harder after the next two engine mods are done thats it as it will have to run on 98 octane no doubt he he then ill just focus on looking after it

Massaro Motors in Morwell Victoria were one of handful of HDT by Brock agents after the split with Holden, they also happen to be the Mitsubishi Agent at the time and Brock Built them a White TN with custom Brock Wheels, steering wheel and suspension and exhaust mods as well as build number 001, I spoke to the salesmen who sold it and he hasn't seen it since it left the showroom at the princely sum of $28,590. Apparently it didn't even come back for its 1500k nuts'n'bolts check. Just wondering if anyone here has seen or has the car? It was white with blue and red narrow waste stripe and it has on the back RHS of the boot the HDT badge with by Brock under it.

their pretty low kms, good find

Figured as much!!!

My girl wouldn't be keen if i tried something like this. MAYBE if money and space were no issue!:bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Hmm! so the plot thickens... i now have two magnas to find somehow.

The elusive black GT and this Brock TN... If you saw it out and about youwouldnt believe it and just think someones messed around with it... but if its true, sounds pretty special!

I would imagine its just a 'myth' but could be wrong. Someone has to find some pics and ill do one up as similar as i can to match :P

Anyway, this week, went against buying an elante TN off ebay in vic... you may have seen it on there, red, cut springs etc, sold for $520... over 300000kms and smokey... and things just didnt seem as good as they should be (just a feeling about it!!)

Also, looking into a nice TN Elite on ebay atm... might well be a buyer, but ill let you know haw that goes :)

Alex.

Oh crap. Great car by the way.

From the striping on the side did they make ant ina wagon? I think i just sent one to the scrap metal bloke. Pays $200 a tonne

Do you mean what i have the GT model? or the brock one thats been mentioned?

If you mean the GT then yea there was a GT wagon made.

Had silver striping though, and the shiny silver elante wheels rather than the gold ones.

Heres a few examples just to varify!!

I like ya exhaust in ya display pic by the way!!

I want one of these!!! anyone know of any... apart from ones that are now in the scrapper hehe

That last pick is how my wagon used to look before the Qld sun got to it. When i first got it i thought tha someone had nicked the fender 2.6 badges then i realised that the GT wagons dont have them.

Wow! just noticed....


Thats interesting, i woulve agreed that they were missing but looking at the photos... seems they dont have them!!

never noticed, good spotting! Guess it does help when you have one though hey hehe?

Better get some photos of yours up!!!??

It has no clear coat on the roof or bonnet and has four seperate hit and run dents so it looks pretty ugly, but still is a nice car to drive.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/W866815094892.jpg

I want one of these!!! anyone know of any... apart from ones that are now in the scrapper hehe

Well, the blue one is for sale in Bayswater Vic at the moment but I presume you know that since your pic. is the same as their trading post ad. They're asking $3,995 for it.

Incidentally the Elite you referred to has gone off eBay.

Anyway, lay off the Elite's, Carcycle, especially the wagons! I want one, so ya can't have 'em, right! Elite wagons are getting very hard to find in good cond. I'm keeping an eye on a couple but the prices are not realistic. One is $2,500 unregistered. It looks fairly good but there's always at least a grand's worth of work to do plus rego, which brings it up to $4,000 plus - just too much unless it was low mileage and exceptional condition.

Yeah i seen that add.

And as for teh elite on ebay, got outbid in teh last 15 seconds... said reserve not met though, ive emailed them but havent heard anything back.

Hmmm, i dont have any elite wagons at the moment, used to have a white tn. An immaculate one would be nice though.

I guess what youre saying about them being too dear at $2500 is right, for you. Like over here in SA you dont need any of those roadworthy things and you only have to register for 3 months etc... if you bought one for $2500 you may have to spend another thousand before you can drive it round, here all you have to do is have an id inspection (if from interstate) but apart from that, just take in the paper... Did i just repeat myself hehe??

Anyway, its late, goodnight!

i would have to say you guys would hate me atm as i just picked up a elite wagon electric window's , digital dash , gold rim's for $200 buck's here in brisbane ...... i am really sorry guys that i have got one i will bend over so u can spank me now lol ........anyway's good luck in finding 1 guy's

Wow, that was a good deal. It would be worth that just for the rims.
There's a nice Elite sedan in Sydney on eBay at the moment but it is an early carby model. There's also an Elite wagon at Pick and Payless for $1,685. I haven't checked than one out yet but if the owner sold it to a wreckers, I don't think it will be up to the standard I want.

Is yours a white one from Mt Tamborine? I saw one there in the Trading Post a while back - fairly low kms but unreg. All the good ones that come up seem to be in Melbourne or Brisbane. Buying from interstate is a pain even if registered because of the bs you have to go through here having a blue slip inspection done etc.

nah the one i just brought it blue over silver ........ blue top silver bottom and it's efi it's was from just just mt gravett about 20min from my place .....what i am thinking of doing it i got a set of polished elite rim's might put them on and take the gold rim's of and turn it into a gt look alike hehehehehe ......... it was on ebay for like 7 days at 200 buck's ......need a little work like new gearbox but hey can't expect it to be perfect .....i know where some gt part's are here in brisbane so i might get the steering wheel and put it on the wagon ....

Sell me one.

Well its been a long time coming but i can now say that i am a proud owner of a GT Magna Wagon, bought one this morning... damaged though... but it will be soon and easily fixed.

Repair first then cleaned it up and show us all mate:dancin:

Good work but a little advice, repair it then polish it


Awww, but its more inspiration, to get a good looking car repaired and put effort in rather than a dull faded thing.... I only polished one side:redface:

hehe, got the bad front bits off today... probably not much happening over the weekend or next week as i am busy but after then... back onto it!!

Ok i took the advice... got the front bits on today, finished the polishing and general tidy up, still have to do a lot of red touching up around the place like mudflaps etc, but.... heres some pmore pics

Hopefully shes looking a little better than the last photos!

holy crap, you could use that for a before and after shot on an infomercial, it looks so much better now, good work!!

Looks fantastic, like it's just rolled off the production line, if not even better. Good work :)

Holly crap thats awsome, what a great job.
It's actually a really nice looking car for a 20 year old

he he , I wonder what your next project will be...
If I ever go interstate im gonna pop in for a look lol

nice work.

Is that the original bar simply with new rear brace and put back on correctly? I managed to do that with my front bar which also had elante kit, u can tell its been wacked, but it's not to bad from afar.

Good work on the polish, reminds me the day I bought my VW

Ooohhhh, some nice comments there, thankyou!!

And yeah, it is the same front bumper.... amazingly, i bought a replacement but while i was starting to take the spoiler off the original i thought... hang on, this has gone back to shape! What great cars hehe.

Heres a couple more photos, ive tidied up the interior, tidied up the mudflaps, done my GT magna badging on the back and also tidied up under the bonnet and painted the heat shield to match!

By the end of the week ill have whacked a couple tyres on the front and hopefully have it registered and ready to be my new driver! Seeing as currently none of them are any longer registered.

Anyway, Im really proud of it and ive never had a GT wagon before so its great!! Its and 8/91 model so probably one of the last TP wagons made before they got going on the TR??

Enjoy!?

Would have been one of the last, my TR was made in 08/91 so possibly the very last to come off.

Out of curiosity, what paint did you use to paint the heat shield? Looks awesome, been trying to do the same but the paint I used is just too cheap I think. :P

looks nice and clean inside.
p.s. fix ure rear wiper. :D


Whats wrong with the rear wiper? Am i missing something??

I cant remember the paint i used but its just a normal heat proof one... its half black now... useless heat proof paint hehe. Still looks a lot better than normal though!!!

Well i think its good & Finished now, registered, tyres on the front, new front indicators!

Ready to hit the track! err maybe just the road hehe

Im quite pround of myself actually considering it started like this...

Ive gotta get my "AH Special Edition" in progress, so if anyones in adelaide and knwos how to work on cars and wants to pull out and replace a front left strut for me and the control arm and little bits and pieces let me know! I actually might be grabbing another one tomorrow but see how that goes. Just a plain white exec.

Alex.

Alex.

Your wiper is sitting to high, meant to sit level with ure window edge, hate seeing up in the air wipers. hehe

I just learnt how to pull out struts and stuff, and have the right tools.

So if you wanna pay for me to be down there when you need me, I'll help you :D


BTW, you still using Hilux housings for your indicators?

Really?

You sure yours just isnt customized so that it does sit flush hehe??

Yeah, theyre Hilux indicators. Its amazing how different the cars look with them... doesnt look much in teh photos, but looking in the rear view mirror with it travelling along behind, looks like an import or some extra special thing rather than... "just a magna"! Notto say that a clear set of original orange ones dont look any good!

Anyway, i think i mentioned somewhere that a bought a TN Elite the other day, just a cheapie but turns out to be not too bad at all! Also bought a wrecking white TP exec the other week and a gold tp se of which ive now sold. So yea, still things happening!

I dont think i could afford your expertise hehe, maybe a hot lap of my block in the completed car :bowrofl:

I reckon we should all enquire about getting some custom lights made for the old magnas... they do it for Vn's and EA's so its possible!! The headlighst would look fantastic with just clear lenses rather than the i dunno what youd call it "contoured" (?) glass that they have that sort of washes it out so to speak.. they look like verada lights... anyone ever tried that or heard of it done or anything?

Also, anyone got a boot mat for my GT wagon + the carboard/wooden bits? :) might just have to wait till my next excursion to upullit.

Ill let ya know tomorrow if i get any more Magnas!!

I made up custom clear indis, there still in my wagons pics on fastmagna, yet to update, atm due to have a silver bumper i lightly sprayed the bar lights silver, you cant see the orange, but the mist of silver turns to bright orange when the indis go's on.

I was actually looking at silvia front indi housings, VERY similar, i think may be a bit longer where the bulb goes, but they look a treat and i think are the right dimensions, but cant be assed buying them to install em.

Alex.

I replaced all the cardboard in mine with 8 or 9mm plywood. A couple of coats of Estapol on both sides gives the plywood extra strength and helps it stay clean. There is a bit of work involved in drawing up a pattern and cutting it out but well worth it. Before that, if I had to kneel in the back while loading stuff, my knees would go through the cardboard. No chance of that now. The mat in mine is still the original (grey) carpet.

dont know if I like the red mud flaps

see it has a tow pack

the rear wiper is better sitting up off the lower window rubber
if it hits the blade in its sweep, sticks or pops off

result one scratched rear glass

how your supply of working digi dashes and senders holding up ha hah

the wood in the rear is a good idea... especially if you know, you have to get in it and things!!

Sounds like too much work for me though hehe... nah, i think id just rather just have it original... i wont be getting in the back... i hope

As for the digi dashes, ive never actually changed one over! Ive only got one TP Elite wreck with one in it atm and a TN Elite (goer) with it... so i dont have any so to speak compared to cars hehe but havent changed any over so dont need them.

I wouldnt mind putting one in one of the nicer magnas, but the ones i do have had too many kms on them and i dont want to go buy one... just wait till i get a wreck elite with low ks i think.

Ok, for those of you who have been up to date on my thread... sorry! this will be the last time i post some pics of this car i promise!! unless something happens to it that i gotta show off hehe,

i justgot to take a few nice pics of it today complete is all so here they are!

No more till i get hold of my next magna... unless i get one of my damaged ones up and going...

ill keep quiet now

Alex.

Looking good.

Is it just the pics or is the nose panel a different shade of red?

Also in where the nose meets the drivers guart, is it bent up on the end?

Like the red grille, will try that with the silver TP I am painting at the moment (silver that is)

Damn... i was hhoping noone would notice.

Yeah, the front nose is a different red... as with the blue and burgandy sedan GT's, the coulours are hard to coem by so getting the right red is too hard as i didnt want to wait around.

So i just got a normal red one from u-pull-it. its not to bad, you cant over greatly tell unless youre looking at it in particular...

its not bent up, i dont think, i think teh headlight is sitting a bit odd, after ive fitted it hehe. I am going to get some headlight covers for it as soon as i can get my ahnds on them to tidy it up/"fill in the gaps" a bit!

Was also thinking of putting a bonnet protector on it just to throw people off of the odd colour... Obviously still clear, but they just create like a bubble type look so you dont pay attention to it. What do people think of that idea? Trouble is they dont sell them anywhere new anymore so ill have to hunt around for an ok spare one from somewhere.

I only have one and thats on the GT with 70,000kms... so wanna keep that original so to speak!

As for the grill, that came from an Elante, same red as the nose cone, but the GT's come out with a painted grill so thats not really to my credit hehe!!

So unless i wanna get it painted, which i dont really... thats how it will stay. I dont mind it...much still looks good! Unless you know, you wanna paint one for me :P

and to everyone else... dont study the photos that hard!! haha

Alex.

and to everyone else... dont study the photos that hard!! haha

Alex.
Hard no to, I can pick so many inconsistencies, but whats the point of pointing them out, mine has so damn many i forget after a week if that's a new dent, or an old one.

mind you, wouldnt hut to get a new bumper and fix the kit lol

Trouble is they dont sell them anywhere new anymore so ill have to hunt around for an ok spare one from somewhere.

I saw one in pretty good nick down at U-Pull-It, very end of one of the back rows. Should still be there because nobody so far can get the bonnet open. lol I think the bonnet release cable is snapped, but if it'll open somehow...

May be worth taking a look down there anyway.

What is your fear about painting the nose, looking at the work you have put into these, I can see no reason you could not paint it yourself.

THere are some paint shops on SA that have great colour matching people, if you ask for a spray match you will be good. Take off the nose and just paint the nose. You seem to be in the trade so should be no issues there.

So how many of these do you now have lol?

As for the rh corner, it is sitting up in the pics, should be easy to back off the bolts and gently nudge it down a little, head light protectors may solve this but to be honest they can also make it more obvious.

Astron Boy, would be glad to only you are a little far away lol

the clear indicators? are they from a hilux or something?

Well today i went to u-pulle-it, elizabeth... there was a red tn elante there, side skirts wheels, spoiler gone. Front bumper ans poiler was there though... hanging off n a bit beaten looking but could be tidied up i reckon.

Anyway, i got a bonnet stone protector thing for the wagon finally to help cover up the problems you all spotted haha

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_2014.jpg
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/IMG_2013.jpg

Along with th ebrand new headlight covers that i got from repco last year for $12 i think it does the job quite nicely and actually suites it! looks like a fully loaded accessories wagon!

In my opinion anyway...

What do you think?

Oh, i also got the GT Magna white guard (GT at u pull it earlier in this thread) after someone had vandalised mine (kicked it in) through out car yard fence, luckily that was still there!!

And then after all that i bought a GSR sigma on the way home... had a good day! :D

any pics of the GSR Sigma?

you can just see it through the tailgate of the wagon in the first pic, hehe but nah not yet actually!!

Ill post some up on here when i take a few.

Damn! i just realised i didnt take any pics of the sigma.

Will take some soon hehe.

Well i was just outside and it was a nice temperature so i thought id take some photos of some of the magnas around the place, for interests sake heres some!

thats if you dont mind of course

Haha, nah i dont mind!

Theyre scattered around the place though so i dont quite get the visual effect!

But hey, let me know when youre coming and ill put em all together, rope em off and put a $5 admission sign up!

hehe, nah, joking... Obviously!!

All welcome :)

interesting avatar carcylcle:cool: ... is that you driving?

oh... yeah, i think, could be me!

In other news, SOLD!!!, my GT wagon, the red one, has gone off to Victoria. Left by truck to its new owner yesterday. :cry:

Lovely looking car that was, now, i need another one!

I have two of them now...

Its been a while... finally got another though!!

You may have seen this one on ebay...

I let my negotiating skills lapse a bit in the end, just in order to get it. Paying for it tomorrow and it should be here for some new pics mid next week!

So theyre obviously just the pics from the seller... have to get rid of that roo-bar straight away!

Anyway, its an auto with 74,850kms!! so im hoping it looks a lot more appealing when its infornt of me than what it does in the photos...

will definetly post up more when its here!!

Alex.

First gen fetish?

Saw that one on eBay a few days ago. Was going to send it ya the link actually but thought you'll probably find it anyway. Proven correct. lol

Damn that wagon looks good inside. Makes me want to get one now :D

well for anyone who does want one, theres a red grand tourer wagon for sale in nsw at the moment!

apparantly its quite nice but is missing the front spoiler.

:)

Where is that advertised? Can't see it on eBay.

Just a coincidence but when I got home from work last night, there was a white GT sedan or Elante parked in front of my place.

For a moment, I thought one of you guys had left me a present but unfortunately it was gone this morning. I might have known you wouldn't be that generous. How mean!! :cry:

It probably belonged to somebody visiting the neighbours, so I didn't want to appear too nosey. Otherwise I'd have checked it out more thoroughly.

It was dark, cold and windy last night, so I didn't get much of a look but it definitely had front and rear spoilers and the side stripes. I couldn't see the wheels clearly but I don't think they were Elante mags - looked more like TN Elite mags, so I think it was a GT. If they visit again, I'll try to corner them and ask some questions.

Ok, found the red GT wagon in the Trading Post. Looks good inside and out. The red is a bit harsh on the eyeballs though.

There's a couple of Elite wagons for sale here too, both TNs. I will try to check them out tomorrow.

Oh i see! There wasnt any photos of it before, just spoke to the owner and took his word.

It looks really nice, but i just went to have another look and its gone!! Whats happened... did you buy it!?

It looks a bit funny because that shot was in the direct sun, but the red does look quite good. Also the lacking of a front spoiler and red grille just made it look less like it should... easy fix though!

Did you or anyone save the pics of it, coz i didnt and i would like them to keep with the collection of pics i have.


Also, am in the process of buying a tn elante with 119000kms, so let you know hwo that goes!!

Alex.

Heres a pic of the NSW one

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/ahsilvershadow/3835596.jpg

So if all goes well, should have some nice new pics up here of the two new magnas by the end of the week!!

No. I didn't buy it, but you are right, the advert has gone.

I didn't save the pictures. I thought I might be able to find them in my internet cache (temporary files) but it is an impossible task.

We're having horrible weather over here, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Elite wagons. They're cheap, so probably fairly rough. I thought if I got a cheap one with a clean interior, I'd swap its seats into mine plus the mag wheels, etc. Alternatively if the body was better than mine, I'd go the other way and transfer mechanicals from mine.

How Much GT Magnas Do You Have:d

How Much GT Magnas Do You Have:d

9 GT's at the moment

Coldamus, i think the wagon was advertised on carsguide too so if youre interested you could find the number on there??

ps, only 7 Elante's though.

Currently that is, ocassionaly one or two get sold.

Alex.

QUOTE 9 GT's at the moment
ps, only 7 Elante's though.:shock: I would like to be you.:redface:

haha nice work mate ;) very interesting thread to read... took me a long time lol... and now its late!!

So where can I see this magna museum haha. Is the carcycle dealer on Main North Road? I reckon I know the place haha. Go 1st Gens!!

Oh do you have a white (preferably) elante body kit that would fit my TP elite by any chance? cos I really want one and havent been able to find one haha. :cool:

once again, Nice collection :P

Nah, my uncle has a yard on main north road... but thats not where i am... im down near west lakes.

Ill have a look but i dont think i have a white set... might have a few bits.

Well just picked up the GT wagon, heres a couple of early shots.

74,800kms.

That looks nice. Mine used to look like that.Has the front grill been replaced? I thought they were colour matched to the body paint not chrome.

Thats right!

Not happy... will have to get a grey one in there soon! wanna swap? hehe

Also, it has no badges on the back... ill put a TL magna badge and 380 GT badge like i do on the others.

Id say its been repainted at some stage coz teh paint seems too good for it...

So yeah, im on the hunt for a Grey elante grille!

I was told the silver tn elante will be here on monday :)

once again, Nice collection

Apparantly theres a couple of elantes at upullit lonsdale... as of last weekend they still had the kits on them... and one of them was white!! may be worth a look??

Heres a couple of pics i just took, painted the grille black (a spare i had) seeing as theres no paint made for the colour... almost looks right, better than it was anyway. And also removed the front nudge bar!

Not sure about the spotlights yet.. might just paint the covers on them a heavy black tint so they dont stick out as much? Any suggetsions?

Oh how Gay! I went there yesterday, but got there 15 mins after they shut!!! grr!! was gonna go up today but have work in the morn... at 11, and am now desperately trying to find someone to replace me... surprisingly nobody wants to do that 1st thing on a Sunday morning...

WOW this keeps getting better and better!

A BROCK TN MAGNA???

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me. Any info or pics??? I'll do a google search myself......

The wagons look very nice! I love wagons there's something bout the extra shape in the body that i like about them. Not to mention the practicality!

I'd love to start a personal collection of original, clean VL Commodores. ESPECIALLY CALAIS! Seriously, they're becoming an endangered species! All the fully sick people love to destroy them by turbo-ing and excessively modify them then smashing and thrashing them up

MORE GT WAGON PURCHASE STORIES PLEASE! And nice Sigmas by the way!

Thanks for the comments!

big_russTJ, there will be another story in a little while... going to collect another TN Elante within the next couple of hours!! hehe. From NSW and has 119kms so hopefully shes not too bad!

BlazinTP, Did you manage to get to have a look at upull it?
Its worth teh effort as it makes it so much easier just to get them like that... rather than have to wait forever and hunt them down and then pay heaps on top!

Here's the latest,

One family owner from new, 119,000kms, Auto.

Not as good as it could/should be for those kms... looks quite alright though.

Best TN Elante wheels ive ever seen though, of course the sun wasnt in the right spot to get some shine off them but theyve got the black paint inserts in the wholes etc which i havent actually seen on a TN Elante wheel before...

I didn't manage to get down there no... had an exam today and was reviing yesterday... hopefully its still there if I get a chance to go down tomorrow...

you'd prob know how my car looks... its white, with the black around the bottom about 30cm high... dunno if a white body kit would look very good on it or not... may look crap haha... but i'd line it up on my car before i buy it anyways...

um if you are down there b4 I am could you have a look out for me and see if it's still there just to save me a bit of time in case it isnt? I'm hoping to go down tomorrow, but lonsdale is a fair way away for me so i dunno... c what happens...

oh btw that elante looks really good.. i wish my wheels were in that good a shape haha... previous owners have scratched em to buggery :(

Damn thats nice!. If mine didnt have rust in certain places, id get it resprayed that exact color :)

EDIT: So i dont have to make another thread, does anyone know the weight of the 1st gens and the engines ?

My registration paper has got the weight of my car 1160kg.

in regards to the elantes in lonsdale. if anyone is down there. i need a drivers side, side skirt,prefferably white, but ill paint it if i need to.

i live on the eyre peninsula so cant get there myself. if anyone can get me one ill pay you and organise pick up next time im over. if not organise frieght.

thanks, luke

My registration paper has got the weight of my car 1160kg.

Cool thanks :)

I'm going down tomorrow haha I get first dibs on it, but If I see another one, I might grab it for ya... I'm looking for em too haha.

i only need the drivers side. ive got the rest of the kit

I'm going down tomorrow haha I get first dibs on it, but If I see another one, I might grab it for ya... I'm looking for em too haha.


well?

do tell... :)

Grr!!! bloody Upullit. There was a white one there with the drivers side but the way they stck the cars up on the old rims crushed the skirt at the front and back... so it was cracked and bowed...!!!

There was also a grey elante with the whole kit but there was the same problem! It annoyed me so much, they should have been more careful considering I thought the kit would be one of the more desirable things to take of the car! It caused me great frustration. I shoulda taken some pics now that I think of it to show you what I mean. But it didn't all end up bad, I nicked some badges off of a 2nd gen (cant quite remember the model, but its the one with MITSUBISHI in chrome letters on the back) for my dashboard just above the gove box, looks quite good imo ;)

all in all.... the 150km round trip turned out to be rather frustrating lol, probs gon go back on the weekend tho... or maybe just to the elizabeth one which is a tad closer :P

also, I went to the mitsi clearence house. OMG!!! theres so much mitsubishi stuff there! I bought the power antenna shaft for my car since its broken on mine, for $10, which I thought was pretty good, the bloke there was pretty helpful too.

Sucks about the kit. it may have sprung back though once it was off the car.

if the kit is broken get it plastic welded

yeah thats how they sit them... i had to search for a jack when i got some skirts from there once... jack it up off the ground find some wheels laying round and drop it on them!

well i think thats how it worked... id imagine theyd bend back to shape if theyre not too bad...

there isnt any at elizabeth apparantly so if youre gonna go for those, go there (Y)

Goodluck :)

yeah I'm going back on saturday... so maybe ill grab something... where would you get it plastic welded... and how much??

hmm gonna be interesting....

I could probs grap front and back bits anyway... although migth look a bit silly without the sideskirts..

Oh one more thing.... my car is the white, with black around the bottom about 30cnm high, would it look silly having a white sideskirt underneath :S I'll need to get at least on of em sprayed anyway if I get them... so yeah...

do your doors have any black on them. if its just the part below the door the side skirts should cover that. im still keen for the side skirt even if its damaged. as long as its not too far gone.

the front piece of the kit that i got. came from an elante with a really banged up front end. i nearly left it there. then decided to grab it. it sprung back after it was removed from the car.

oh and blazin tp. if you want to see a magna with the front and back kit only have a look in this thread. http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53922 theres a few pics of my car

My car also had black on the bottom of the doors so yeah the kits not gonna cover it all... same with the back, if I get the rear kit I think there may be some black showing, but i'll have to doble check on my car first.

Um, how much would you be willing to pay for the drivers side skirt anyways?? I might be able to grab it for ya. PM me about it if ya want, I could even send you a mms on ya phone of it on the day so you can see the quality of it, and whether you want it or not... thats if I can actually get it off while its sitting on the wheels there too... might have to politely ask the staff to borrow their forklift haha!!

ya car looks pretty good in that thread, but it does look like theres something missing without the sideskirts...

I have 2 options now haha.
1) dont bother with kit
2) Repaint all black bits white which will be very annoying but maybe I will do it...

it'll prob make my car look a bit funny with black patches everywhere just above the kit...

hmm now for decision time haha.

heres a couple of pics of my car so you can see whet I mean...

edit: I was thinking how it would look if I painted the kit black... and painted front and rear 2tone black/white how the ones are on there atm... would be one of a kind then :P

yup paint them white. my back end is white and the skirts and front is black, but suprisingly it doesnt look out of place. i will be painting skirts white possibly but the front looks ok in black... just my opinion...

pm sent. your car looks pretty neat blazin tp.

thanks for your help even if things dont work out. its hard living in the country with this kind of thing.

theres only one wrecked magna here i can take parts from. and thats a glx. thats why i got a parts car lol.

yeah haha, there are 2 u-pull-it's with probs close to 100 1st gens in total haha... they are both relatively far for me but it can be worth it sometimes.

i sent u a pm about the kits, but i'll still keep my eyes peeles for ya ;)

I spotted a burgandy GT sitting in a Autogas installers yard yesterday. Looks like it needs saving anyone want to know where it is? :D

Alex.

I hate roof lining too! I was going to get it redone but my brother decided to staple it to the roof before I got a chance! lol

I was thinking about making it blue like the carpet and the rest of the vinyl and dash!

I was thinking about getting new carpet in the car too because I can't get all the dirt out with vacumning and steam cleaning and it's getting old like real old house carpet or something

Is that in Adelaide?

Sure, ill look into it!!

...Maybe they were just getting gas fitted?

It wasn't there to have gas fitted. Looks like its been sitting for a while. The car is in Hackham.

the roof lining on my old TP was real shotty, it was held up by 5 or 6 thumb tacks haha. but the one I have atm is in excellent condition minus a small stain on the pasenger side :)

Hey Magnabydesign, if you want to, could you pm me the address so i can check it out one day... if you know where it is?

Today i took a couple of pics of the first gt magna and the latest gt magna ive bought... both white manuals!
