Do I have a problem ?

Went to see another car today. Well two actually.

But one car really got to me. But its not ready to drive, a project, but not too big.

Almost no rust, converted to run on gas, (Actually gas only), has all the chrome trim, interior is good apart from the drivers seat, very very low..... and a reasonable bargain.

I would have to store it out the back of my brothers house. But I'm seriously thinking about it...... and it's not even a holden.

It just has the look.

VC Valiant Regal, auto 225. Matt Black...

Still needs a few things, rear half of the exhaust, tyres, but comes with a spare motor and original wheels (Mags are off a charger)

Do I have a problem ???????? An addiction ??????

Or do I worry to much, and should just go and buy it.
I think the concern is why I haven't mentioned it to my wife.
I don't think she would approve. Especially as I stilll need to buy a later model, good car to drive.
Seems somehow dirty.

I think vc Vals are great

, price would be a big factor, oh yeah and the missus

.
I think we would all have 10 cars if we had the space and money to keep them (Steve Jackson is an exception to the rule

), do what makes you happy man, Trev

Had a few Chrysler/Valiants in my lifetime

. One major flaw is they rusted like crazy.

Mechanicaaly they were bulletproof

If this one has as little rust as you say it does, you should snap it up.......thats if the missus lets you

Great looking car I think. I may currently have a biased opinion, but anything other than a japanese van or pushbike is gold. A matte black VC val is even more special! Go buy it!

Blacky as stogger wrote, you can ASK for forgiveness, but whether or not you GET it

Good luck with your decision Finny, make sure the dog house is clean just in case

Never say Buy...................or Guess what I just bought......

Better to say!

"look what I just picked up" for some reason money doesn't even come into it, that way.

Works for me

Damn.

After dropping his price lower and lower. I offered to buy, and he decided to increase the price back to his original asking price, which was too much.
He actually wanted more than his initial asking price.

I think he wants to keep it..........

I'll keep looking, and work faster on the EK.
