Years ago I had a little 85 hightop sierra, 3" lift, 31" wheels, and just generally a nice little car. It went everywhere, and I was sad to see it go.
My sister was sick of hering me whinge about it, so I have just been offered her 94 softtop in original condition for pretty cheap ($1500 including pinkslip...), and am wondering where I should start. It has high km's, but most of that has been a daily commute from Kurrajong to Granville for the last few years. And it's never been offroad.
What are some of the better, ummmm, cheaper mods I can do early on?
It needs new carpet and a new soft top, new tyres (so that obviously means new 15x7 wheels.....), and the suspension has sagged a bit (what a shame....). I am reading through this site, and the virtual lift looks quite good, so that'll probably get done fairly soon as well. The motor has done 170,000km, and is still the original, so I'd expect that to need replacing or rebuilding soon too, as well as the gearbox (it's a little looser than I remember my old one being). Oh, and the steering is very loose - pretty typical, I think..
Anyway - anything else that you guys can think of that will improve it's performance / ability / looks fairly cheaply? During the week it'll be my wifes running around car (welded diffs are probably out for now - lol), but on the weekends it'll be mine.......

) and it keeps up with cars with 33's and lockers easily!

tried looking for it on site what is it, is it a brand of springs ?:?
