I had a 1989 Pintara Wagon for a while which was a very under-rated and reliable car. Drove really well (so well, that one of my ex's drove off in it and wouldn't give it back - long story)  :Pout:

There was a bit of Karma... She ended up writing it off when she ran up the back of a council ute (unfortunately she had it insured though)  :disapp:

I got the pinnie on the road :)

so far, it has a manual conversion, and lowered springs (no pics yet) and 15'' silvia rims, but i'm dying to find a set of 15'' steelies for it so I can run dress trims on them!

No, I actually don't! The house is #1 priority, then saving money for the bills.

I just do things slowly, and I do everything myself, so there is no Labour cost ;-) Plus im always scheeming a way to make some pocket money!

I used to be like that.
But in these days of "drought and flooding rains" I save my water for the garden and let nature take its course with the lawn. I just keep it weed free.

I don't have time for gardens unfortunately :-( I have a half arsed hedge I'm trying to get to come good (the good parts were removed for the driveway/car port), a golden cane palm, a Lilly Pilly tree and something else, the rest is lawn because of the ease of maintenance with how many hours I work.

The first thing I did was remove the large palm trees, and clear the side to get good side access!
