Hi All,

Some of you may have been following my recent repair on the gearbox of my Galant.
New box went in and the test drives were very successfull.

Upon checking out a leak from the driveshaft/xfer case this weekend I noticed that it has been broken into through the passenger side lock and a very pitiful attempt at the ignition.

Im essentially just over it - I am wanting $3K

The engine in this is smooth and strong. The body is nice and straight.

1997 Black Galant VR4
128,000 KM
Tiptronic
A slightly recond box from Kennith.
Very tidy interior - Bar some plastic shrouding broken off around the ignition.
No audio equipment
Paint fade on the bonnet and the spoiler.
The plastic shrouding on the passenger side front door handle is a crack in it now.
Adrenalin RE001 tires that still have a bit of tread.
Engine oil has been Castrol Edge 0w30
Box is filled with crisp clean SPIII Mitsi fluid

Have driven the car for about 80km after the new box went in and it changes gear very very well. Nice and snappy!

Passenger Lock still works fine - ignition doesn't spring back when turning on.
Warrant is due end of April.

PM me for contact details if your interested in coming to look.
Located in Auckland

Some of these pictures are a little dated.

Sorry to hear it Cory.

I probably have a spare ignition shroud which you can have. I think I have some door handles too, but they wont be in black.

Thanks Kennith.

The issue I have is getting it all sorted it will still be parked on the road and driven not more than 100km a month- this is the second break in iv had here on it in less than 6 months.

We are now going way off topic, but the 30M makes 200kw, no NZ or AU Magna/380 engine made over 180kw, whether 3.5 or 3.8L

Delayed bump.

Still up for grabs - cash offers accepted - additional theft attempt - ignition is now absent.
Car can start and drive.

Mt Eden is a shyte area for it, I used to live there - had my previous car broken into and then later stolen. I often see broken glass on the side of the road after a weekend where people's cars have been broken into.

One would have thought that the police would have stepped up extra patrols in that area because i am pretty sure that there is a syndicate working that area. I saw my stolen interior on trademe and somehow someone also managed to come into my rear strut brace which I am still wondering about too...

At what point did I say that you had breached any T & C''s , it was an "my" view point on your comment - or are we reds not allowed to have our own view points !!!

You may not have meant it in a mean way, but to me your post comes across like you are being a sore looser. On top of that you didn't bid or offer $1500 so why chuck a post up saying "I would have given you $1500....." just my 2 cents.

And Congrats with the sale dude

And the "winning" bidders come to "look"

FFS - the point of a $1 reserve is to sell it - not for people to bid and them come look after sale to decide if they want it.

Q - pending these folks decision - it may still be up for grabs, be for I re-list again as $1. $1300 and its yours.
