In rough order and I may have forgotten a few. Not a bad list for a 27 year old I reckon.

Holden LH Torana
Mazda RX5
Holden TX Gemini
Nissan Bluebird TRX Series 2
Ford Escort Mk II
Datsun Bluebird Series 1
Toyota KE20 Corolla
Datsun 1200 coupe
Datsun 1200 sedan
Datsun 180B
Datsun Stanza SSS
Datsun 1200 coupe
Datsun Sunny Wagon
Datsun 260C
Mitsubishi GJ Sigma
Datsun Stanza
Mitsubishi GH Sigma
Datsun 1200 sedan
Ford XF Falcon
Datsun 120Y
Ford EF II XR8 (still have)
Ford XD Wagon 250
Ford XC Fairmont 302 (still have)
Ford ZK Fairlane 351 (still have)

Most of the Datto's were pretty heavily modded and reckon I could just about build one out of the spares i've still got lying around. Love the tourque and sound of a nice Clevo or Windsor though...
