looking at buying a 1982 City
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:51 am
hi guys,
from australia, central vic here.
im looking at a silver 1982 city, non turbo, 5spd man, $500aud. its rough, which i like, but what should i look for before buying it? its got bad rust where the boot spoiler holes are under the window, but seems otherwise fine. it drives ok too [more power than my '94 3cly charade].
i wanna lower it onto some fitted 14"s, rust up the bonnet and get a bonnet bra, yellow tint headlights, old school roof racks with a varnished ply board wind deflector and sticker bombing patches of course.
is lowering a problem? can springs be sourced?
offsets and tyre sizes for 14"?
are parts a problem?
thanks guys, keen to buy it but looking for info first...
