ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

.
Well... It's always hard after a torrid love affair to settle down...



That which at first seems to be a new beginning often ends soon after it's started and what in normal circumstances could have led to a long, happy relationship is over too quickly...



...especially when something younger and more attractive comes along!!!




Ladies and Gentlemen, please introduce yourselves to Zaphod's Third:
















No mods yet (other than chucking on a set of cheap 18" wheels), but I've washed it three times in the last week...!

Nice ride Brother

So first Car was the Blue Cj
2nd Car Blue Colt
3rd Silver Cj nice

Nearly -

Zaphod's first was the bloo car
Zaphod's second was the 'warm' silver 2011 Activ
Zaphod's Third is this 'cool' silver 2012 Activ with the RA-style front-end

Unfortunately, not being a Lancer, the MicroMachine didn't count towards the total! (but it was a heap of fun and would have been great as a second car...).

What did you do with standard active with out RA Front and how much have all these cars cost you buddy just wondering

Wait whoa whoa whoa, you swapped an activ for an activ? o_o

Was it just a straight up trade or?

Aaaand hey so there's the VR-X wheels!

Looking good Zaphod!

Love the VRX / Ralliart rims in black!

nice

Yeah Silver on Black wheels looks good

ZII (the warm silver one) was picked up & paid for yesterday morning,
ZIII I collected Thursday last week (from Rockhampton! - that was a big day...)

Price... well, let's just say ZII was cheap, ZIII cost me zero dollars, after a small profit on ZII and was a near-wholesale buy from a friend of a friend...

Yep! - went from a 2011 to a 2012 for no-dollars up-front and zero repayments!

I picked up the wheels, with reasonable tyres, for only $400 from Gympie - they had a bit of peppering from stone chips, but half an hour with some gloss black paint and a few cotton buds and they look pretty good! TBH, they look a LOT better in real life than on the photos...


@Andrew, @Kayla: Thanks guys! - One more Lancer and I'll beat the number of Commodores I've owned (not including the Monaro...)

Three in two months, four since the end of December...

As I said earlier in the thread, a zero-dollar upgrade - be mad not to have done it!

sweet martin i thought u just put the RA front didnt think u swapped the lancer for a another

That's actually hit the nail on the head Kayla - I was planning on swapping the front-end out, but by the tme I factored in the cost of the parts, the new wheel arch liners, the under tray, firtting & painting etc it was going to cost well over a grand, so I started looking around and stumbled across this car through a friend of a friend and got it nearly wholesale! - so, basically it was new-for-old!

nice work
