Hey guys, picked up my very first GZ20 Soarer this morning, just so happens it is also my very first turbo car/real car/'expensive' car.
Previously I've owned a stock R31 and a KE70 Corolla with a few little mods, which I am driving now and selling very soon. I study Marketing & Communication at UniSA in Adelaide, should be finished up next year sometime.
I got this car mechanically checked over before I purchased it, a few little things but pretty happy with how well it went for a pre 90's car.
