Photo looks to be LHD and the houses look distinctly American.
Wheels are stock Widey wheels not ROH blades.

Did you really do a widebody conversion to your 1983 Starion?

Does not compute.

was that before you imported the 83 widebody 2litre from america? And what did you do with the exhaust valves? What side skirts did you fit over the widey ones?

Its all factory i havent put any side skirts over the original body.
Like whats with the detective questions

usually when you dodge the same question twice (how'd you get an 83 2litre widey quest import) you'll raise suspicion... Don't suppose asking a 3rd time will help?

Hi

Let me get this straight:

Its a 1983 widebody?
you have a 4valve / cylinder SOHC engine?

Im afraid this isnt possible, and ill explain Y

Widebodies are from 1987 onwards
American ones are LHD with 2.6l, japanese ones RHD with 2.6l both have turbos other than tc-06's
No such thing as a 4valve / cylinder SOHC engine.
The pic looks like a LHD quest TSi blurry logo infront of door, and dash cluster looks like its on left side thru front window.

Please post up some more pictures If we are way off base here, as we'd all like to see another widebody in Australia.

Thats what it looked like before the conversion, it looked stock as it came.

well, thats a completley different car now isnt it, its not a widebody at all, Talk about a diet.

Were gonna need some convincing, a lot of convincing.

Show us some pics of the conversion process. . .
