Well i havent had much to report for a long time... theres no decent magnas (gt/elante) for sale anymore!

Oh yeah, car is far from its cleanest too :)

I reckon I like them plates better :) the colour suits the car more, but I reckon black with gold writing or blue with gold (if you can get that??) would suit perfect!

and my car is for sale!!! although it's not a GT or Elante, it is an Elite, with Elante bits :)

you know you want it :P

Needs parras

Good luck finding them for a First Gen... :P

Plates definitely look better, suits the car a lot more than the Yellow/Greens. Very nice. :D

looks really good mate, didnt see the originals but these look great

They arnt parra's dude, they are just normal headlights.

oh, is that what they all look like from the front?

Slits in glass to refract the light = not a parra =]

All youd need to do is put clear glass on the front of the headlight instead of the one sthat are on them at the moment...

i think...

would look a bit like an old square twin headlighted scorpion!

....someone wanna try?

Yep, it was sold on Friday. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever see it again. The buyer is in Alice springs, and after getting a Full mechanical inspection on it, they decided to buy it. I dropped it off at the Freighting company on Friday arvo and I'd imagine now it is on its way up there (or already there). I'll miss it :(

Got $1800 for it, which isn't too shabby for a first gen I s'pose. You reckon that was a good price Alex?

yea its a good price, i wanted it though!! but i couldnt afford to pay that much (not that its not worth it, just coz im stuck with what i have!)

but well done, pitty you couldnt just leave it sitting around after you put so much effort into it! intend to do it again one day or get a later model one, as everyone does! hehe, but its the smart thing to do!

what do you have left over? did the parts go with it?

I contemplated keeping it but it would have to be left outside in the weather for a year. And even if that wasn't the case, it would still be sitting around for a while and things will start to perish without regular use, so I thought why not sell it and hope someone else can treat it as well as I did :) It took 5 days to sell it too, I was stoked at how much interest I had. Had 6 calls/emails about it in the 5 days, including one while we were on the way home from dropping it of for freighting haha :D

proof that you can sell an early Magna at a good price :D

So yes, as you say I will probably get a later model (ralliart... hmm depends how much I can save over the next year) and do that up a bit when I can afford it.
But that car was excellent to me, was such as good one, and it did bring a tear to my eye saying goodbye to it after so many hours off work put into it.

And yes I do have a lot of spare parts left if you'd be interested in buying some cheap?

I have a heap of hoses, couple of bellts, alternator, the middle reflector from the tail lights, AC Compressor, 4 full brake disc setups, a head... umm lots of things cant think of it all of the top of my head lol. most are all off of my old TP that I stripped, but there were no problems with any of it, and the head is off the elite, just replaced it with the recond one. It was perfectly fine :)
