It is now running t400 instead of m21 but could be changed back I guess if I really wanted to. Engine is original (rebuilt). Will let you know what I find!
gday there- tags can match the chassis but the body could still be from any other vehicle. you really need to rip up console/carpets, have a look for hood liner teeth and courtsey lights etc etc. It's becoming more common to see rebodies as the value of these increase. many people would remove tags when painting without a second thought... might come back to bite them now as once off, it's very hard to prove the body belongs to the tags/chassis unless it's pagewood which has a firewall stamp ( i think)

my opinion is that it's too much at $35,000 for a car that is not very original and not a colour you are happy with.
