LOL hard!!! That's awesome. I would've done the same - "oh sweet another starion - i want how much?!" and I'd be thinking how good it'd be to have a parts car etc....
What are you going to do with it?

lol jealous much......
Im stripping the usefull parts off it like the rear suspension, diff, front suspension, and manual gearbox. I also took the clutch pedal and mounting out. Surprisingly the front left guard is mint, not rust at all, and straight! And the raditor is in real good condition too :)
Its been sitting at the wreckers like that for 10 years going by the rego sticker. Looks like it was someones toy at some stage as its got a 2 1/2 inch straight through exhaust and FCD on it. Would have been a beast in its day :D

It was that Rex Russell dismantilers.
Wasnt to bad to get it home, They used a forklift to get it on a tip transporter that I hired. Then I just tied it to a tree and drive the trailer out from under it :)
