Obiviously had an accident before. Dont buy. UNLESS you are hardcore and only care about the chassis in which case you can get a chassis jig to confirm that it isnt bent.

far out that is dodgy, is that even the correct front bar, looks like a prefacelfit one.

Ill give you guys a headsup, the black one at bosley park dont bother looking at it..

things i picked up on.

1. 93 - 97 front bar
2. 93 - 97 rear bar
3. 98 - 01 head lights
4. 98 - 01 quarter panels
5. Heatshield sprayed black
6. Looks like new ps, washer fluid, coolant reservoirs.

Could just have been a minor fender bender replaced with cheaper parts. from the pics the frame looks straight though. Might just need some oem bumpers and a decent matching paint job. Reason I think it's minor is cause the steering wheel is actually a genuine ITR one, if the airbag had gone off then i doubt he would have repaced it with ITR one. Looks like he cut repair costs at every corner.

But yes i agree definantly an auction job.

Yeh i had a look at the ad too milkman. The front and rear bar are definitely not from a DC2R, more like a GSi. The DC2R front and rear bar both have lips to them or some sort. The headlights are different too. And since when did the dc2r front bar have a fin across it ! It says Lady owner but the contact person is called Abdul? weird!?

Just to let you know milkman the DC2R in TAS is selling for 21K FIRM, couldn't get him to lower the price. After figuring out all the fees and costs to get it on road in Sydney, it was more feesable to find a local one. chargeR (Tom) had looked up the car for me so if u interested PM me your email and ill forward you the pics of the car took for me.

Just thought I'd add that as wu' says I went to check out the DC2R in Tas, and took it for a drive, so if any of the guys looking for a DC2 have any questions about it just let me know . It was in pretty good nick.

[milkman]

Thanks ChargeR Trevor has forwarded me the email with your remarks and pictues it looks the goods.

I'm considering it but like wu` I'm in NSW and tossing up whether it's worth it or not!

[VTECMACHINE]

Definately a DC2R... But def not a ITR front bar.

[milkman]

Not suss but funny

he's jacked the price up to 24k.. perhaps he's sick of ppl trying to bargain the 21k down? put up for 24k and sell for 21k minimum

Suss bits: The rear lights and front lip appears to be missing ?

Am I right ? I think I'm getting better at this..
