Purchased my first car around 6 weeks ago, a 1979 XC Falcon 500 Sports, currently in the garage being restored to her former glory! And i'm totally in love with her, stuff girlfriends at 18, working on your car is more fun the majority of the time!

1981 Cortina Wagon in Red. It was awesome. Could sleep in it and went well to with the 6. BUT! It used way too much fuel and a Big W wage could not take it :(

XE S-PAC with the fuel injected 250. I loved that car to death. I got it when i was about 5 years ago when i was 12. Parents gave it to me as a bus car. But being young it got thrashed and i blew it up. Id do anything to have it back

84 Isuzu TE Gemini, was white with 15 Inch advanti wheels on it. Red drum brakes, poo brown interior. Lasted me just over 9 Months. Good car, just didnt have a radio, and had absolute zero grip in the wet. Good fun on dirt roads but.

That's true.

Well I had a mate who had a VL, and yeah it was a heap of crap, because he treated it like it.

Even my old $1000 Corty was a better car.

1986 KC TX3 laser. 1.6 SOHC EFi. Went alright, modded it a bit with nothing too drastic ... a fun little first car.

'72 XA coupe, 302 auto, dropped on it's guts with 265s on the rear. Looked awsome, sounded awsome, ran crap, cabin leaked like a seive and boot floor was so rusted out I'm amazed the fuel tank never fell out onto the road.

EFIwindsor · 05-09-2007, 10:57 AM

1990 manual EA con with centre poinnt injection and snowflake 15" mags. sure was one pinpin ride. complete with 300+ kms on the dial.
I must admit this car copped a hiding and just kept going, I just couldn't kill that thing.

My first toy was an 81 RA40 Celica. I have had it now for 17 years. 4 motors, 4 gearboxes and 2 diff's and I still have it and love it for a small non-Ford car.
It's un-Reg at the moment now tho.. We had a baby and ended up with a Nissan Patrol now for the family car upgrade.

EA Bogan · 05-09-2007, 11:01 PM

1983 R30 Skyline..the most hilariously crap car of all time..it was made entirely of rust. It lasted about 6 months before i sold it for 550 bucks and got my first ford, a gold EA series 2 s pack..i know its not the most desirable ford out there but hey its a start..

EA Bogan · 05-09-2007, 11:09 PM
