brett_celicacoupe Forums Junkie Location: townsville NQLD Registered: February 2004	Re: How early did you start your interest in cars? Tue, 05 April 2005 10:57 i have been into cars for as long as i could remember. i used to wait at the gate at the front of my yard (200m driveway) after skool for dad to come home just so i could drive his car up the driveway. when i was very young i would just steer, but as i got older i would drive up my driveway. then when i was even older i would drive 500m down the road or 500m to my house (i live in a rural area). then i got hooked on motorbikes for a while (i still work at a motorbike shop partime), and after hurting myself repeatedly and seeing my mate laying on the road with a broken feema (spelling?). anyway i started chasing around for scrub bashers and the first one i got was a RT40 corona (69 model) . we thrashed that thing and it would not die...no matter what. then, after searching for another scrub basher, i found an RA40 coupe (1977 model). i took it home and got it going, and couldnt belive the power (18RC with extractors ....i was only 14yr. old). that celica was far from repair, so i kept the gearbox and motor as a spare and told myself i would get another. a few weeks passed and i was told of one for sale by my brother. we went and checked it out and it was a excellent project car (yes, the one i done up ). it was advertised for $500 but i talked him down to $200 . so i got that home and thought i would just give it a "quick" paintjob and get it registered...... ...well 12months passed and i painted it(subaru WRX blue), had put a 18rg in it (i rebuilt it myself), and registered it!!. i done all the work myself with minimum help from others (guidance of spray painter). i think i am one of those people that look at something and just see how it goes together. my dad hasnt helped me at all; he is one of those people that think they just to get you from A to B, so he dont care of washing or making his car look presentable.....he fixes rust with pop riveting a piece of an old road sign over the hole, then painting it with a brush i just turned 17 the other week....so im only a youngen see my sig for pics of my car brett [Report message to a moderator]
