well pedders priced it was more like 4k... lol
i know theres some shit wrong with the car, the rear axle clunking around from stop and start, they told me the gearbox mount is stuffed, the bushes, ubolts, 2" suspension sag, which is correct cos my rear leafs are totally flat, shocks failed on their tester, brakes are warped badly, bumpstops are gone on the FRHS, powersteering fluid is all brown and crap.
the steering clunks which they say is because the suspension is sagging 2", and some other bush/bearing thats buggered. complete report will be emailed me soon i may scan a copy for all your enjoyment

If you love the car, start with the worst items and work your way up to the lesser important items...

I know your pain I did same a couple of months back, my bill for urgent from them was just on 4k, purchased what I needed and some I fitted some had fitted and all done for about $1500, new suspension right round, heaps of bushes, track bar replaced, is better than ever now was worth the $$$

Went for a test drive to check for problems and blew a tyre at the end of the M4...
Exhaust also sounds bloody awesome. Too bad I have a lead foot.

first try at towing. Went well.
3 large rolls of hay on a tandem trailer.
didnt go over 80 as trailer is not that flash. About 50km on back roads.
Ran like there was nothing behind it.

Priced a rocker cover gasket, cheapest in SA was $85 WTF. Going to let it leak a while longer; I have rego due in 10 days. Hoping leaf eye bushes are arriving today. If not it means going to work, either way it aint going to be pleasent.....
