Hey All
Just wanted to share my progress. I should probably start from day one.
Went to pick him up, Drove down to NSW (8 hours...KEEN)
to get it. lol
The way back was Bumpy as f**, all the shocks had gone and all springs had been hacked away to nothing with no power steering. Made it home though without a problem. I purchased a white fto wreck, (which is still sitting in the yard haha) and stripped the parts i needed. Straight onto changing the Springs/Shocks.....Later i discovered the car had no air-con condenser, the compressor was shot and EVERY pipe had been cut?!! The guy i bought it from assured me the air-con would work once i fixed the power steering... WTF
as if!... lucky was able to pinch the whole unit from my wreck. Got it re gassed yesterday..ahhh
Long way to go yet, but baby steps
