Welcome to inspect in Port Melbourne

Price above ($5400) ozvolvo price. Might be advertised elsewhere, if necessary, for more $$

As they say, not in any great rush to sell and would be sad to see her go

So far I still can't quite fathom a few things, did the gt come with power steering ball joints,
aka offset castor even though no power steering is fitted? The joints are genuine so who knows, Aussy spec maybe.....
Can someone tell me where the drain tube for the fuel overflow ( the one at the filler neck) goes please,
also are there any GTs in Brissy that I can have a gander at, this car was stripped (even though I always tell people don't buy a stripped car) and I just need to get my head around what goes where and what does what.

On another front I have rust bucket coming up from Sidders as this was part of the deal when I bought the car, ex dealer service managers car, from Parramatta Rd down Fivedock way. Apparently has a bit done to the engine and a slippery fitted. So I'll have a few spares and somone else will get the rest..........................

@markc88, After the Mazda, these are so easy to work on, once ya get your head around the k-jet ( bloody simple really) everything is quite simple with some really weird things but each manufacture has those......, so you should have some fun, but set a deadline or it will blow out then you'll loose interest etc ect....
