Thanks for the responses.

I like the idea of one restorer looking after the project. I have tried to contact "Try Down Town Kustoms, Taree" but still awaiting a response.

Do you have any other recommendations?


Thanks in advance

We are located just out of Sydney, but happy to drive 4-5hrs to find the right place.

Thanks for the response,

We have owned the car for 20 odd years, however it has sat in a shed for the last 5 years and not been driven.

So I am looking for a full overhaul to get the vehicle back to the condition it should be, including a check on the engine - I know it needs a new alternator, but there are probably more issues to find.

It will need a respray with some minor fiberglass body work required, and repair to the bonnet hood (currently no aligning properly when closed).

I am also interested in trim work to the interior - new seats, center cluster and door skins. I'm sure this list will grow very quickly.

Thanks again
