Alright, I promised I'd write up a build topic when I bought my Liberty so here it is. It will now officially become a work in progress.
Reason I got the car? I blew the engine in my VS Bombodore and was in desperate need of a new vee-hicle. I managed to get the car quite cheaply with only 123,123 km (I know right) on the clock from a wonderful family out at Turramurra. After a little under two weeks of owning it, I can honestly say I'm in LOVE. It is the best car I've ever owned and has met my every need. I can't wait to join the bandwagon and start adding some mods and giving it my own sweet taste. Didn't particularly like the colour to begin with, but after seeing it in real life I kinda fell for it. And to those that posted in the topics I wrote when I was looking for a Liberty; well, YES. It is a wagon!

Here are some pics of her a week after the purchase.
Thanks guys! I'll try my best to keep the topic up to date as I continue doing things to this beast. In the meantime I am gonna try and give her a name... Suggestions welcome.
