Well already we have spent approx. $2000 on fixing up brakes renewing door locks, and ignition, generally going over all the running gear.....Because it has the wrong motor, gearbox, and all interior, etc. we expect to spend $7000 on the motor, $800 on a gearbox, and clutch, $8000 on soda blasting and body prep, panels which we have cut off a wreck in Forbes $800, $8000 on painting, which also includes Decals, body parts, and will prob spend $2000 on the interior, radio, hoodlining, seats, console....we have also have to renew the exhaust whatever price that is.....

You can add that all up as if I do it will scare me:sick:

The Red van's budget is $2000 on brakes, and running gear, oil leaks, etc. $600 on exhaust, $10000 on soda blast, body prep, paint, and decals....$2000 interior, $1000 rego.....Grill $90, vent, and small items, $10....whatever a new bumper is, and Rodney spent about $100 on paint etc. for all the underneath....labour done by us.....

Plus what ever two air conditioners which are intergrated into the air vents cost

This is really a ridiculous load of money to spend...but it will be worthwhile when done....and we will enjoy them until we have our licenses taken from us coz we are old and a risk on the road.....

i might add these figures don't include purchase price....so maybe the $42K to buy Windsor blue sandman from old matey at Euchuca, was a dam good deal.......
