Hey Everyone,
Here is my 1991 UZZ30 Soarer.
Done a bit over 180,000kms but is very strong and healthy (was checked before i bought it)
Got an exhaust system not to sure what it is as he didn't know much about it but sounds good,might change the tips to something different.
Guy was an animal, so interior needs work and the body needs some touch up and respray on the passenger side.
Took the door trims off in the car.
Looks pretty hard to get door trims for these colour, might try and get them fixed.
Pictures.

it's a shame really.
Hopefully i can bring it back to it's glory days
Interior parts are not easy but hopefully i can get them.
Just the Door/window trims are impossible to find. |

BAD NEWS!!
Smashed my car today 
On my way to work, it was raining pretty heavy before but was dying down and when i was turning some bloody cat ran across the street. Anyways you guessed it, i didn't run it over instead slammed the brakes and spun 180 and hit the curb and small pole .
Was doing the speed limit 50-55km/h.
Damage is mostly the driver side that's where the impact was and mostly the front and rear suspension is finished,driver's light that i just replaced got a small crack.
Front wheel was ripped off but the brake line was holding it , Rear wheel is bent of course holding on. Got a Big ding on the fender and behind the Front wheel where it fell.
Just renewed the registration on the same day.
I'm so devastated about it since I've barely owned it for a month and drove it delicate.
Good thing i wasn't hurt or anyone else.
Anyways gonna have a proper look in the day and take it apart but looks like a lot of trouble.

Yeah was bit surprised how the car took the hit most cars would be far worse.
Today I'm working afternoon so decided to jack the car up and remove the wheels.
Front Wheel.
Front Wheel cracked
Driver headlight cracked
Fender is damaged
Big dent below front driver Door
Back Wheel
Control Arms have snapped
Drive shaft seems buggered
Don't know man by the look of the damage gonna be a lot of hassle so might try and get my money back selling it for parts and get another one or might go for a aristo. |

I cringed looking at this.
It's like the kick boxing movies where you see a guys leg snapped in half at the bone.
That sucks mate! |

Holy crap! That is some serious damage by the looks of things. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that looks like a write off.
Reminds me of Richard Luongs car, which was written off with this much damage when he spun and hit a kerb.

Yeah, unfortunately suspension components for Soarers are very pricey. |

The good news is that Ahmed's car suspension is spring and should cost alot cheaper. But seems like alot of work |

Are you stripping the car for spares? I am interested in the passenger side door mold. |
