Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Whats my mother got to do with the price of eggs??? Do you mean that she and I are somehow benefitting from this sale? What part of NO WAY JOSE don't you understand!!
Since you have mentioned my Mum, well I'll throw in my Dad as well and thank them for having a keen interest in car racing...the times we belted the FJ out to Oran Park are priceless memories for me...Ohhh, mustang connection, my Mum enjoyed and was thrilled by Big "Sneaky" Petes antics as was myself and thousands of others.
As for the cost estimates, I'm not going to go over the rough estimates to get the thing back on the road again. There are expensive restorations done for people where money is no object and there are equally as good restorations done by clever backyarders who know their limitations, spend their money wisely, beg, borrow or st...(no.. none that I know off) parts, working bees, spend carefully targetted funds with experts only when absolutely necessary because they want to/enjoy using their excellent handskills to begin with.
Genuine K Code???...hmmmm....wonder if that might be my friends...I think his work was done in Syd-a-knee....oil ask.
Never ever tried to glide a lilly...I think the aerodynamics would be all wrong though
