G'day Rodger, Thanks for the lesson, didn't have the slightest what it was before haha I'm in Orange NSW, those contacts might be a good start to finding the vehicle I want. And I'll definitely be buying aircon no matter what Thanks again for all your advice and have a Merry Christmas and a...

Thanks for the kind words tonytoyota And Rodger, I love in Australia. Quick question, what do you mean by "Resinous (G/F)" So from what I understand, I could get myself a 82 model and still upgrade to those creature features ie. aircon, power steering, softer suspension and gearbox. This...
