The car looks great, Jester!
(but, is that a fishing rod or a CB radio antenna sticking out the front?)

Cb antenna for the road trip I was on with friends, it's only mounted when it needs to be. Still looking for a good fishing rod solution! I've had a vision in my head for awhile of a tacklebox on a luggage rack with a fishing rod suction mount on the bonnet! Project for another day.

The car was off the road from mid 2018 - January 2022 so I've been just been busy enjoying it whenever and wherever I can. One day I'll get around to documenting it all in a build thread here.

Figuring the front mount points is painful

This was a couple of years ago when i drove up to the Snowy Mountains around Easter. Probably the only time in the last few years when the car was on a proper road trip. Had a minor disagreement with a roo on the early morning drive back home... just some fur and a small ding on the LH door, quite low though...

Why bother with roof top boxes in our cars. Not worth the hassle. Just drive the other car if you need to transport something.
I also don't understand why people put those big fibreglass boxes on top of their supercars. It's just a trendy oddity, done for attention.

For driving holidays for two people (or even one). MX5 boot isn't big enough and I don't like storing stuff behind the seats. And I don't want to take my Falcon as it is not fun to drive (but it is excellent on straight roads). My Celica was an excellent driving holiday car. I haven't found anything to match it in that role. Perhaps I should get another one.

Second that. Loved mine. Brilliant tourer.

Yep! ST162 5 speed, advanced ignition, 95 RON, ported, exhaust, springs, dampers and K-Mac rear bar (plus the 86 model front bar, which was thicker than 87+). I miss it.
(Should I mention cornering at 170 on the Snowy Mountains Hwy or averaging over 130 from Casino to Grafton? Probably not, but it was the 90s.)
