How much do you want to spend? there have been a few in the Trader over the last few weeks, anwhere from $3-6k

Put it this way, the less I spend , the more I can spend on it....
Noticed a few in perth for $ 6-7K which I couldn't afford, missed one a couple of weeks ago due to waiting for the insurance company to make up their minds- 1980 1200 with rust in sills, A14 and rego till December went for $900 -BUGGER IT!!

The more you spend the more someone else has already spent on it. Between me and the bloke I bough my ute off it owes at least $13k- you can have it for $8k if you like
Buy a ute for $2k and you will spend $5-7k getting rust cut out & respray before you know what's going on.... +wheels, + an A14 so that it can keep up with traffic..... and all of a sudden it has cost you $10k+ and is worth $6-7k (unless you have the skills or the mates to do the body work & mechanical work on the cheap)

Quote:

I can see your point but I would prefer to spend the money on the car after buying it that way I know exactly what, why and how things are done in regards to body work and so on. Rust repair , body work , mechanicals are the easy part . I'm a Shipright & Boilermaker/coded welder by trade/s with plenty of mechanical engineering experiance and my brother inlaw's a pannelbeater by trade .
Plus I still have my ute for spares like a bomed A14, wheels, 5speed and so on......but thanks for the offer

learn to do some of the work your self that way it donesnt cost stuff all to paint and cut the rust out, new panels are cheap as chips now days

mine went up for sale today, probably a bit more than what you want to spend though by the sounds of things.

i might be interested in selling mine... stocka with upgraded brakes and suspension... body ok... in padbury

$2500
