as a newbie on the starion scene.
its quite an interesting and vaulable read.
however some of the articles don't say year/model which makes it a bit harder. but def worth the 40 or so bucks

[quote="Junkers"]If you want to find out more about those two particular starions their featured in this video
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 14539quote ]
in the video the car at the start of the video isn't a wide body, is it the equivalant of the JD (Aus)?

I'm fairly certain that car was a JE . I'll see if I can dig up some detailed pics I've got somewhere . I can't tell from the video .
( JE was not sold in Aust.)

Its the same as my car, 86 ex. You can tell from the worlds biggest number plate holder on the front, the wheels and the rear spoiler.
Here's some advertising.

You can't tell from just that .
Are the wheels 4 stud or 5 stud ? That's how you tell if it's a JD or JE . There were other improvements but the wheel is the easiest way to instantly identify it . You can't tell from the video .
