hey Guys here's new car. It's an '83 model with 160k on the clock(s) (original replaced with a VDO unit). Has a 75 transaxle so LSD. 6 stacker, good amp and speakers. Reconned interior at some time in the last 5 years or so. Paint is good, 2 bits of rust, good sunroof. It has been lowered by someone, and I have it booked in for new Konis and bushes all round. Good motor, but it will either be modified or changed at sometime in the near future. The photos aren't from the best angles but I will get some good ones done when she is freshly washed. Note my other baby in the second photo. The camera lens is dirty too. ENJOY! Tom, Australia.

NIce :D

I NOTE YOU R COMMENT ABOUT THE INTERIOR HAVING BEEN REFURBED AT SOME POINT. IT LOOKS LIKE A REPLACEMENT ACTUALLY, SINCE THIS ISNT A GTV INTERIOR. THE REAR SEATS LOOK LIKE THEY ARE RECOVERED ORIGINALS, BUT I WONDER WHERE THE FRONT SEATS ARE FROM?, ARE THEY 75 SEATS MAYBE? :?:

Actually I'm fron Canberra, but I bought the car from a guy in Epping. It drove really well on the highway back, though the front-end vibrates a bit at some speeds but I'll try a wheel allignment and balance for the time being.

Got some 16x7 inch speedlines I'm about to order and after that and the suspension mods (Konis, Poly bushes, maybe some anti-roll bars and Giulia castor rod ball-joints) it should be a cornering master.
Then, depending on what I can afford, I'll go a Glenwood 3.0 or modify the engine in stages myself.
Gearbox is good and so far no synchro issues.

Umm I was just thinking, I don't think they are from the 75 because they are for a 2 door. They have the latch to fold the back down to access the rear seats.
So, I don't know.

Actually x-rad, I don't have a wallet.
Instead of getting deposited into a bank account, my salary gets paid straight into my GTV. :)

That's ok,
I've ever only owned French cars so I can't comment but so far it's been quite cheap.
