hey guys, im finally writing up a post about my car.
its a red rolla flatback 1988 model
i bought the car off my mate (thanks mark)
i've had it for 2 weeks now or more.. since then it needed a tune and i've fixed the simple things like power steering, battery and radiator fluid and cap the simple stuff to make a good safe ride down to v&e rigoli's
on the way there, i managed to get myself into a little boo when the engine died on me as i was exiting off the m4 turnoff
thankfully the guys behind me were able to push it further away from the intersection.... though they went a lil happy and ran it up the gutter and into a fence when my steering locked up 
thats twice thats happened to me.. so there i was stuck in the middle of no where *for that moment i was pretty f#cked*, with no credit on my phone,i checked under the hood and found that the engine overheated and drank all the radiator fluid, luckily *macgiuver me* had some in the boot.
i finally made it to v&e rigoli's in time for my tune..*watching the temp gauge go bananas*
they wanted to check the spark leads and found they had been worn to the metal  and the spark plugs need a change.. then finally when it came to crank over she pulled out a motherload of smog from the exhaust(straight backs pollution friendly)...one of the 2 bolts from the alternator had broken leaving it to squeel on ignition. I found rigoli's very good with the service and quality and i highly recommend anybody to them.
the damage was $370 inc a dyno run putting out 114.5HP
i was pretty impressed for the run, running much healthier now.
feels like a go kart and rc car put together hehe scares the crap out of me on how punchy it is. 
my future plans is to do an engine conversion into a sprwinter
heres a few pics of my car i hope you enjoy and cant wait for the feedback
