June 2004 - to date
My current car is a 1979 Chrysler Avenger 1.6GL Saloon
It is the first car I've ever bought off eBay and I paid £285 for it.
I would rather have paid a bit more for one in better condition, but they don't turn up very often and I was becoming tired of the Vauxhall Chevette I had at the time.

The car has had new front wings, new rear lower quarters and a new front bumper as part of its refit.
Also, much of the chromed plastic trim had become somewhat ropey to say the least, so it was all removed (new trim parts are hard to find now) with the exception of the stainless steel strip that adorns the front of the bonnet.
Also, the vinyl roof was becoming a tad ragged, so this was removed as well.
Finally, the car was sprayed with two-pack dark red paint.

The car still needs a new dashboard (mine has suffered sun damage) and a new rear bumper (without the rubber strip), but at least the car now looks smart enough to make it worth keeping clean (even though I hate cleaning cars!)

Here are the picture I took just after painting and refit.
