WTTC

There are a few guys in your area that might be able to help you out ;)
There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others

WTTC:

You're bound to find em a lot cheaper on here and a fairer price/assessment from club members as opposed to trying out your luck at a car yard or classified websites.. :)

    WTTC.

    I can also look at FTOs in the Sydney area for you. That should open up your options a bit too.

    I've owned 4 FTOs total now so I know what to look for ;)

    Had a look at an Fto in Sydney today with the assistance of Daniel2019 (thanks heaps for the help)
    However I don't think I will get it there were a couple biggish issues that I would rather wait until I have some experience to tackle.

    so the search continues :(

    Thank you to Daniel2019 once again for looking over the car for me

    No worries.

    FYI for anyone interested, noisy thrust bearing, had front and rear enders previously, paint farked, leaky front rocker really bad going all over starter, sump soaked in oil, and eitger leaky rear rocker or cam seal, too hard to tell without pulling timing covers off.

    Random black (badly) resprayed suspension bits too :(
