My brothers XB fairmont was $180, with 6 months rego in about 1991.. yes ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS 1 hour ago, gerg said: Starting to make me paranoid now...

ESPSIX 143 Posted August 13, 2019 My neighbor buys cars at auction for wrecking and fixing, when he was getting XD and E’s, he used to let me take what I wanted for free, so I stocked up, glad I did, I’ve got 2 to maintain. doing the same now with B series. 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted August 13, 2019 I bought an entire S-pack bumper for I think maybe 60 bucks. I cut it up and screwed it onto my Corty. That was a meat axe of a car... Still miss itSent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
