Yeah I think I'll stick with Peter from Bond...I already had a price...which was $800 fully fitted and includes a certificate for my CAMS log book.
Just on the $3000 statement...
I bought a fairly straight...with a little rust in the sills 1200 coupe road car...it included a Jeff Taylor A15 with twin DCOE Webers.
It has a Sunny 4spd and locker H165...all for $1300
Roll cage $800
Carb rebuild by Jeff Taylor $400
Respray and rust work $300
Seat $225 (Australian Stds approved)
3" 4 Point Harness $330 Repco (FIA)
fully adjustable struts with Tokiko inserts and 200B GX brakes and calipers $200 (from dattodude...sorry to hear about the throat cancer....that thread was a sick joke)
engine oil cooler and gemini radiator $150

oops edit thats $3705....a slight exaggeration, but if you guys help me with the harness and seat and cage thats well under $3000..
but $3700 is still not bad

oops edit again I bought alloy wheels for $70 and will need yokohama control tyres $400 (new) $150 with 60% tread
Thats $4000...But Im still confident that $3500 is achieveable with alot of scrounging
