Default My new toy
Hey guys for those of you who don't read the T Series Appreciation Room
I thought I would share with you my new toy that we pick up on Friday.
107k on the clock. 3 owners full service history. $15k
I have dreamt of this day for years.

Definately, it's the company daily driver so I will continue
on my path that I have planned it will just take a little longer to achieve now.

Looks like a beauty. I love my T2, much prefer the body kit over the T3. Should clean up very nicely, you got a bargain. That's even less than T1's go for.

Thanks Dallas, I just can't wait for Friday to roll around.
No doubt over the coming months I will need assistance again as I start to look
at different concepts for the car. Although I do want to keep her as standard as
possible so will prob be more of restoration back to imaculate than it will be
performance based mods on this one.

Where your ECON button is on the gear shift it instead reads TCC ... Press that and those bottons allow you to change gears and add an extra 5th gear into the rank .... With TCC turned off and you hold the buttons it doubles as the horn lol

.....

Also dude VERY VERY VERY nice pic up. Congrats.!

Incorrect the button is ESS, Electronic Shift Strategy. And technically there isnt a 5th gear either. But yes you can shift via the steering wheel
