one of the cleanest most original EA's I have seen in a long time. First mod - MPFI conversion.

yep that's a nice car mate - should be fairly nimble too, with relatively low km's. Do you know if the head gasket has been replaced yet ? 150,000km is about the sweet spot for those things!

Enjoy it, and welcome.

im not sure. the car yard that had it spent about 2k on it to get it real nice. not sure if the gasket was replaced. if it wasnt and it goes, then it will be replaced with an AU gasket, cause i hear they fit the engine.

Great looking car, mate. Those kms are awesome for an EA! The fact it's manual makes it even better. That is one of the best condition S-pack interiors I've seen. The low-series centre consoles have a tendancy to fade and crack, but that looks brand new.
