10yr update since post #19 (can't see the pic, same carpark)
View attachment 69983
191000km hasn't missed a beat. Family luxury, daily commute, 480hrs of learner driving (still got same L plates all 4 kids used),towing beast now on its 3rd van (talk of another van has started). It's done it all effortlessly from being a school bus, kids sport, milkbar run, off-roading, move house hualer. ...........just a normal car with all its original paint and some scar's to show it's been used but not abused.
Regular servicing and maintenance looking after it and it's rewarded us. Every month we alternate the keys so they wear evenly, still have GM batteries in them too. Have replaced cranking battery twice, we've installed rear airbags, catch can, trans cooler, rear drawers, roof tray, intercooler pipe kit, free wheeling hubs, remapped tune, uprated lights, AT tyres & mags.
Not a tare or crack in upolustory leather, hood lining or steering wheel. Still gets 740km commuting or 860km highway to a tank of fuel.
Happy 10th Birthday C7.
The Paces.
