I paid 15k for mine + on road and freight to SA. Mine required similar body work and needs a few things replaced and 65000kms.If you replace the trims let me know.

Im chasing a drivers side card with the carbon spear and cloth with the triangle diamond shapes and suede on the grab handle/arm restI got a price on a new door card (ie trim) for someone's BF Typhoon recently... it was $816.4 retail and $612.30 wholesale... and they don't make them anymore anyway. Blimey.I've also got a pair of door cards from a BA Super Pursuit so I'll use them if I have to, but my driver's side one looks like it can be repaired with some plastic welding. How is it that the door card on my 440,000km taxi is in perfect order but the card on a 94,000km FPV is broken?Got two keys cut today and went to Pickles to at least get the thing outside the gate so that I could get it home tonight by either towing it or getting a trailer (ie steering lock).Nup, Pickles won't let anything leave the premises unless it's on a trailer or a truck. Ummm... it's a repossession, not a damaged write-off! Nup, that's their company policy.Rang Dept of Transport. The registration expired in April this year, so I wasn't able to just renew it and turn it into a licenced car. Ah well, worth a try.I was doing everything possible to have access to it over the weekend, but I'm going to have to wait until Monday. I'll just get it towed the 4.5km to the same auto electrician that coded the keys on my XR6T ute a few weeks ago. The Tornado should be mobile by Monday afternoon. Might be able to get it in for a registration inspection on Tuesday and have it on the road Tuesday afternoon. If that goes to plan then at least I have the option of taking the car to somewhere to have it cleaned and polished (ie carpet and paintwork). My Aprilia motard bike is making some dodgy engine noises (ie it's rebuild time) but my KTM is road licenced so I can just put that in the back, drop the ute off and ride the KTM home.Meanwhile... Need. To. Get. At. That. Thing. With. Cleaning. Stuff. Dammit, lock me in the yard with it, some food and cleaning stuff for the weekend!After consultation with Ralph Wiggum I bought 2 x 20L drums of Gulf Western Syn-X 3000 semi synthetic oil this afternoon. Doing an oil change on the XR6T ute, the Tornado and taxi will use up one drum straight away and the second one will be for future oil drums. The cost-per-litre worked out to half of what I've been paying for Penrite HPR Gas 10 for the taxi, so I'll probably be using Gulf Western from now on. It was funny at the place - they've got a VW Amarok and have broken two keys recently at $450 each. I got my laptop out and showed them where to get VW key casings from in China for $US2.90 each. (www.honrow.com)I have spent waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time over the last two days staring at the 11 photos that I took of the car on Wednesday - would like some actual reality now. Rather miffed that I couldn't get it cleaned up over the weekend so that it's ready for registration as soon as the keys are coded.Sigh.Time to go stare at photos for another hour or two...

Couldn't think of where to get lots of fluro lighting for the photos so went to a car wash.I removed the BA GT 325mm x 32mm brakes that I had on the front and put the standard stuff back on. Still trying to comprehend just how crap the standard 298mm x 28mm front brakes are. Wow. Paid $500 for the FG XR6 wheels with near-new tyres. Not bad. They do go well with the Lightening Strike (silver) colour of the ute. The ROH Flares are now cleaned up and ready to go on the FPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
