Default My new ride

Gday all,
First time poster, long time reader of these forums!
Just a week ago I purchased my second car, a 1999 AU1 Fairmont :
she's not in the best condition cosmetically (exterior), but the interior and mechanicals are pretty good (only 114,000)
I've fixed up some of the paintwork myself, and as I'm going to be using the car as a daily driver, at this stage i'm not too worried about paying too much cash to get the paint in A1 condition.
The brakes need attention though, they are starting to 'shudder' when coming to a gradual stop... i suspect the discs may need machining (not sure about the pads)
Oh, and the car struggles to start every now and then. you really have to keep trying to crank it over. but once she's running it's great. not too sure what that's about
anyways thanks for reading my thread! :evil3:
