I think it was a good price. Does need a bit of work but then it is nearly 40. Just trying to get info on it. I've ordered a chiltin manual, so waiting to see if it varies much being that it's an Aus assembled. Ive got a leak in the steering box to fix for a wof as well as play in the steering column. By the look of it the steering column is from an xa falcon. Those are all that's holding it back for a wof. The body needs a tidy up, which isn't to major and also the gearbox crunches into second. So the plan is to get the wof then pull motor and box out and rebuild gearbox. Paint the motor and then sort bodywork. I'm gonna order some cragars from the states as well as a lift kit and do that after body work. I'm gonna look for a standard bumper and take that bull bar off. You keen on it?
