Yea its a car dealer , as it's in his showroom on Sandgate rd @ Nundah

Webers my arse , they'd be a set of Kadrons that it always had , and for the asking price i'd expect a dam site tidier underneath on the car

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

I sold this car to a yard that gave me twice of what any of you offered adam for it. Build a bridge and move on cause the rest is history. If the yard gets close to what they want it will simply make all your cars worth that little bit more. But thats not the way some of you think now is it ...
