    Yeah they will try and rip you off every chance they get so one can only hope they give you at least 90% of the actual value but they probably won't. Although you could try and buy it back and sell the parts to get the money back but that takes time and a few of tools. Also could be worse could have given you a Mazda or Hyundai.

    HadAcoolName, You asked for pictures of our Silverado. I posted them but they were lost in a flood of posts, So I'll repost them
    . image.jpg
    to keep this on topic; Look what I found in the garage with a box of old valiant parts
    image.jpg
    Its definantly a collectors item, I was thinking of selling it because I need some money, But then I thought about how the falcon and commodore are dead so I kept it.
    image.jpg
    It is a bottle case, Most likely had jimbeam in it, It's in very rough condition. It was sitting in a box with Pistons and carburettors and such.
    image.jpg
    Completely made from tin. It's got text on the bottom about Australian racing history.
    image.jpg
    It's a very interesting piece. I'll definantly be holding on to it for quite awhile.

    Just found out the guy who built this (Laurie Starling) was murdered late last year :( Was shot dead by bikers in a case of mistaken identity. Poor bastard.

    Ok this is a bit of a bump. But important to aussies. As you know Toyota Ford & Holden are dead men walking. But a new Brand is starting up. And they will be R.W.D http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/new-car-factory-planned-for-adelaide-31135 Link added


    Thanks to hadacoolname as Told me on facebook :]

    Part of the story below. Sorry about the way it looks.

    The Melbourne-based firm expects to roll 12,000 cars off the production line in 2018. That number would increase to 50,000 by 2023. The company has not decided on a name for the car brand. The first model produced would have a rear-wheel drive layout.
