1. 1983 Mazda 626 My first car, got it off a mate. A real bucket but was fun. You could put your hands on the glass and pull down to open. The locks would open with any key. Was not water tight. The roof was dented from the inside out as my mate and I went over a speed bump way to fast and hit our heads on the roof.
2. 2000 AU II Wagon Current project. The stroker motor is in. Should be running by the end of th month. 3. AU Coupe Just a shell at this stage. Currently sitting in he desert so it does not rust. 4. 1986 Toyota Corona A cheap car I bought for my sister.
