Depends how patient people are to find one. The body needs a fair bit of work in it so I was pretty happy with the money I got for it.

If I was buy another for a project I would want a better one for that kind of money but the thing is that they don't come up that often and even rarer are they running, complete and with rego.

All depends if you want to keep it or not I guess?

I had $4800 on mine last year and that sold for close to what I was asking.

All depends on the body for me. The better the body the higher the price. You can always find trim bits and things but to fix bodywork properly is expensive.

Was there supposed to be a link in your post to pics?

I think you'll have to try them to figure out what's the most comfortable for you, too much variation amongst people'/ reference, height etc.

A lot of the cheaper seats at Autobarn and similar places are quite hard and can get pretty uncomfortable after a long trip.

I have a pair of early Recaro LS seats and l find them to be pretty good, I'm happy with how they feel and how they look once in the ute,

Other car forums would be good to search for them, especially sites dedicated to cars a similar size eg MX5 forums or something. eBay and Gumtree like most things is always good for a staring place to look.

Nice buy! Seen it at the Nats and at Powercruise and looks nice.

What are you're plans for it?

Heaps of manufacturers started coming out with similar silvery blues like on the 1200 ute a little while ago.

Toyota had it on the Echo, it was called Aqua Ice Opalescent, code 761.

The Yaris had a similar colour called Glacier.

The Camry also came in a similar colour.

So did the G6E Falcons.

I run the 135 Nangkangs and I find them fine. Chances are if you're running them on your car it's going to be drag oriented so it won't be set up for taking corners like a circuit/hill climbs based car would anyway.

I find that driving sensibly that they are fine in all conditions. Obviously if you plough into a corner too fast the tendency is for it to under steer but at normal speeds I've never had a problem. Same in the wet, I'm more worried about the tail stepping out than I am about the front having troubles.

I think they star at about $750 a wheel, but don't quote me on that. Just give them a call. If you do a search you'll find what others have done. You'll need to modify your guards and potentially the area near the footwell at the back of the wheel for clearance when you turn.

Tempe tyres are remaking them if you want a brand new set.
