Shes nearly there, bonnet and bootlid yet to be fitted but ill send these pics (and one of the receipt) to the freight forwarder to get it under way. Sold the pressed metal wheels and chucked these on just to get it over (have a set of original rs3100 wheels with new tyres for it). Whoever had it last, had the springs adjusted so she sits higher - good for travelling on the boat but then ill lower it back. Anyway, it was an interesting exercise:
paint & panel beating $3000
new battery, windscreen rubber, door & boot seals, carpet (from Knox carpets!), trim repairs, clutch release bearing, radiator, bonnet, bumpers & over riders re-chromed, new key strips, oil, filter, $20 fuel, new fuel filter and quite a few little odds and ends - approx $1700, labour $1400 and the car cost $3800 ($3040 AUD at the time - aust $ is down now - blast it!) - all NZD. To bring it in - approx $3500 (AUD). (Scaved some juicy bits out of the mk 2 v6 i wrecked to finish it).
(the lower chrome trim isnt on the door yet..)

Arn't we all (old). It IS a true love thing - but you try and make your wife understand what true love is all about? She wont have a clue! Life can be so cruel.....
