Thanks for the interest guys.
Im on the east coast,victoria.
A bit of a run down on myself,i have an awsome wife and a 11 yr old son,last few yrs ive been restoring a couple of old houses,just finished the last one lately and now i have a bit of time on my hands(i work three days a week) im looking for something else to keep the blood flowing,im not one to stand still for very long,prior to restoring houses i had my own bussiness with my wife for ten years,we sold that 6-7 yrs ago.So you would not be dealing with an idiot(well i don't think so anyway
).
Ive seen a few nice 60 series cruzas on ebay USA for pretty high sums,right hand drive diesels,there is one on there at the moment for 25g buy it now,i think i could find one like that over here and get it to the west coast for around half or less then what there asking.
Depending on what your looking for a rough ball park figure would be @ $10.000us to the west coast,that should include everything,and all depending on the car it could be 2g less or maybe 2g higher,i'll know alot more the next few days as im waiting on some shipping quotes,and there is a few other details i have to check out as well.
The more desirable hj60's will be the 83 models as they have the 5sp box from then on,if you don't mind a 4sp box then maybe later dropping a 5sp in then we have a larger segment to look at,i'd expect to pick up early 4sp models cheaper again so could be a good option also.
There are lots of hj60's around down here but when we narrow it down to 83 preferrably and maybe the odd 80,81 or 82 and then good clean RUST FREE examples well the market shrinks rapidly,but they are around,and no probs i can find them.
Im not interested in buying and selling cars i'd like to act as a kind of agent,i will find,inspect,and organize everything from this end,so if i happen on a mint hj60 for $2000 aus thats what you'll pay,i will be negiotiating the best price on the car also,of course if i have to travel across the country to pick up a car there will be extra expenses.I'll be charging enough in my fees that i will never have to throw any on top of anything else.
Everything will be documented and receipts from all parties will be supplied.
I will only be supplying good rust free examples,if you want a s*** box look elsewhere!
Not dealing in parts,only running vehicles.
Another option for anyone considering a diesel conversion is if i come across any early hj60's that are rusted but might have say a good turboed 2h and drivetrain well we might be able to get them pretty cheap,makes a conversion a whole lot easier if you have a complete hj60 sitting in the shed.
send me a pm if you want to talk some more
