Hi all.

Just wanted to mention my new GT4 arrived from Auckland yesterday (a day earlier than I'd arranged for). I'm relieved to say it really is a mint example, and apart from getting dirty seems to have survived its trip without damage. The colour (gun metal) is even better in real life that it is in the photos. Seems to have almost blue/silver flecks that give it a lovely shine. I've checked the bodywork very carefully and it has the two very minor little "push pin" type dents on the left hand side (one at front and one at the back) so small you could not notice unless you were really trying to find them.

It also came with a lot of parts, most of which I'm not exactly sure what they are. I may take photos of the parts and post them here so you guys can id them for me :-)

The only negative about the car (and it's not a biggie) is the plastic trim in the boot area has seen better days with a large amount of scratching and scuffs. I'm considering swapping it with the trim from my 94 which is in much better condition, or perhaps see if I can source it from somewhere else. Since it's the same as an ST202 it should not be hard to find.

The head unit seems very high end (Soundstream VIR-8004) but it appears to be a non standard size (smaller than double din but bigger than single) so there is a gap exposing the cables behind -any suggestions? I also notice there is an ipod cable supplied but oddly it has not been installed which is annoying as I guess I'll have to remove the head unit in order to fit it.

Can't drive it yet (apart from into the garage) as I'm just waiting for confirmation of my insurance to come through. When it does I'll take it for a little run and snap some photos.

cheers
