Had a squiz at a JB for sale today...
Exterior - good condition, a few chips & scratches, small amount of rust under the door sills, but only minor. No rear spoiler, spoiler mount holes filled with silastic...
Interior - mint, very well looked after.
Under bonnet - empty space where the air box should be, and no turbocharger...eh? Wait - the engine looks wrong. OMG, it's an Astron 2.6, and it's carburetted...

ahh.. dammit.. I know the guy, he lives a street behind me.. kingsway/landsdale right???
apporached him once, had no interest in restoring the car or anything, apperatnly the turbo blew on the 2l and he saw this as a logical repair.

Damn good guess, Tom - you're right. I didn't think there were that many clues!
The guy wanted ~$2600 for it. It was kind of on the way to work, so I thought I'd drop in and have a look. Made me all depressed instead...

I haven't seen the red one - must have my eyesight checked, because I live in that area :)
