Thanks everyone who replied, good to see the dream is shared with others. I'll start with FB groups.
So budget wise I was hoping for $15K but could stretch to $20K if needed. As I think I'd be hanging onto the car for some years I'd be happy to get something rust free and straight to begin with, then can slowly spend more and chip away at the project - drive train, panel, paint, interior etc. Anyone have a rough indication of cost to swap, all components and labour? Would $5K get it done nicely?
