turns out its just not gunna be worth fixerising the protege.... bah so as such i'm just gunna get me a new car...

bought a 97 astra yesterday, quite a nice car, certainly a lot quieter than the protege!!! but i'm not that easily gotten rid of!

still gotta do some parting out with the Mazda... anyone want egg rings etc, i'll be writing up the new thread next weekend listing what i'm selling and also wat i'm wanting to exchange.... (engine mounts etc)

unless someone wants to buy a now unregistered car, in need of 3 things only...

a RWC (to transfer to QLD)
tyres to pass RWC
gearbox repairs to get car to said RWC

the hoops that QLD DOT make you jump through are a bit crazy!!!

but thats all that needs doing... and now topping up the fluids as there is none in the car (drained)

suppose joint cruise with opelaus.com would be in order now?!!

RedAstina will take your egg rings! So everyone else can get lost!

That's bad news about the car, and not so good about the protege either.

haha, i think i'll cry when i load the car on the tow truck! as dented and as bad that car might have been its still my baby and the car i've had the most involvement in thus far... the asssstra will be a standard grocery getter... although its already scored a new stereo (recycling at work here) and HID headlights!

platypus · 27-08-2006, 08:58 AM

oh yeah it has 2 supergay features.... AUTO (aaaarghhhh stop reminding me!!)
and a colour i'm calling midnight blue (becuase the DOT says it's purp)

MitchEG · 27-08-2006, 09:50 AM

you have put so much work into that car over the years. the amount of time you spent on it, day and night. and so proud of the achievements w/ it. the amazing cruises/drives in it. didn't hit ne wildlife w/ it thou....

and DON"T give it to a wreckers!!! i'm sure if you put it in the trading post SUM1 would b looking for a project car, or give it to an auction house? You'd make more money that way wouldn't you??

i can't belive i'm letting it go either - too much heartache in that car too!

and yes it will be going to the wreckers 2 weeks from pick up of the Astra - i'm outta patience with Mr. Plough

We aren't, definately plan to keep it another 3 or so years yet now that we have a new 6 as well. Unless a cheap used MPS 6 comes up then I might be swayed.
