Ok, I promised JM that once i had a definite idea of when my baby would be back, that i would post a build thread, so here goes 
The Car:
I bought her last year from a local import place, for only $5,000 - with only 81,000 kms!!!!!!!!!!
The guys that sold it were absolute morons - she was so cheap because the IC piping sucked teh wang - may as well have not even been on there!
$50 and a quick trip to the hardware store later, and she was running totally PERFECT!!!!
They also agreed to fix the brakes before i picked her up. They didn't think to look, and obviously though it just needed pads. All 4 brakes were overhauled, costing them about $700... YAY for me playing dumb!!!!
Whilst i was there, i also managed to get a brand new Blitz bov off them for only $120... Again, signs they are incompetent fools, the same one was selling for about $300 at the time...
***PICS OF CAR WHEN I PICKED HER UP***
Note the dodgy ic piping - so glad i replaced it with pvc for a bit!!!!!!
The day after i bought her, i decided she needed some new rims... I loved the rims i chose for about... a month... As someone said, it was a blessing in disguise that they were stolen!
***PIC OF CAR WITH MY GOD AWFUL RIMS***
After having her on the road for 3 glorious months, it was time to retire her to my garage, thanks to me not having the money for registration (registration here is about $1,000 a year).
As some of you know, she was stolen from this garage in October last year.
It would have been no easy feat, as this garage was underground, incredibly secure, and you needed TWO keys to get in. However, they managed to do so, and take my gorgeous baby with them...
Thanks to the dire nature of the NSW Police Force, and a huge lack of resources, it was 3 weeks before i had any news... But when i did, it was good!!!! They found her about 1km from my apartment, she was missing a ton of things, but thankfully relatively undamaged. *happy dance*
***PICS OF CAR WHEN FOUND***
The thieves stole my rims and tyres, yet i got 2 12-slotters on the rear!!!! Worth over $600
Missing ic piping (was custom done a few weeks before she was stolen)
Missing pod filter (JAV this one's for you)
They took the steering wheel + boss kit - note the dildo of a shifter in the background
More damage - ended up having to replace both the steering column and ignition barrel.
They ripped the headunit
Damage to the driver's side handle
After stealing just about everything from my car, they left me the early model MkIV rear lights i had... LOL!!!!!!!
Seeing as i have hit the image limit for this post, check the rest of the thread for more of the story and plans
