  4. Hi, Yeah it has a kph speedo - goes up to 240 from memory At the time I painted it the 2-tone was very 80's (still is methinks lol)
  5. Hey Guys, I been lurking on the site for years but hadn't posted, probably because my JD has been a static ornament on the nature strip for the last couple of years. I bought it in 1996 with 90,000Km on the clock. From the log book it looks like it came from Young/Forbes area NSW. Was in immaculate condition when I bought it, complete with pot-purri in the ashtray to create some ambiance while driving. I drove it for the best part of 15 years as my daily driver. One day on the way to work one morning it ground to a horrible stop 2 blocks from home. Seized balance shaft I believe but haven't checked yet as I towed it home and it sat on the nature strip ever since. Had a couple of kids in the meantime but methinks now is the time to get it back up and running. The engine is still original - now done 290,000Km. On my third turbo though in that time. Current one is TD06 with machined TD05 front so it points in the correct direction for the inter-cooler piping. Had it resprayed in 2003ish as the original paint was peeling - now the respray is peeling as well so it definitely needs a paint-job amongst other things. I'll post some pics - from original to respray to the ugly truth now 8( This is how it looked when I bought it - was in fantastic condition with 90K http://www.urbanoceans.com.au/scratch/starion/smaller/001.jpg This is after respray: http://www.urbanoceans.com.au/scratch/starion/smaller/002.jpg http://www.urbanoceans.com.au/scratch/starion/smaller/003.jpg and unfortunately - this is how it looks now: http://www.urbanoceans.com.au/scratch/starion/smaller/2013-06-08%2014.07.30.jpg http://www.urbanoceans.com.au/scratch/starion/smaller/2013-06-21%2015.28.26.jpg
