super saloon

Postby ripthesystem » Wed Jul 14, 2010 11:08 pm

hey everyone,
look what i picked up for $450
Image

brand new king springs, new suspension, reconditioned 2.6 auto (of course), bit of rust on the left side under the doors and on the bonnet but no structural damage,
the interior is like new, everything is in granny spec condition, the bumpers and doors sit flush. Was driven as a daily by an older man who kept it in immaculate condition and had it serviced regularly.

--------------------
UPDATE
--------------------
it took me a while to gain enough courage to slap some tint on the tail lights,
i didn't know what it would look like but it came out alright.
also painted the exhaust pipe
Image

also i re painted the bonnet with rust stop after patching up a few holes

Nice one dude, bargin at $450. Not bad hay, you could get another 10 years out of that car if you wanted to, for $450. A $12000 hyundi Gets will be looking pretty second hand by that time and both cars would be worth similiar amounts (well, kind of).

There is a Super Saloon , exactly the same colour, in an old Mitsu dealers showroom in Maitland. The guy that owned the dealership bought it new, and has had it in the showroom window ever since.

He also has a Mitsu 380 that he uses for a daily driver. Every couple of weeks he takes the Sigma, and his Mrs for a leisurely drive, then puts it back in the showroom.
