To get Rwc would need working heater / ac for the demister.
How big a job is that???

Pretty simple- not more than a day's work regardless of what's wrong, but likely to be crook cables/ connections to the heater box or a broken fan/wiring It's fiddly to get out but easy to work on once it's on the bench. There's some photos in the members rigs page of the heater box out of blingy, my next build.

dont worry too much about a roady. I have a good guy in Carrum Downs that we use who is very realistic...lets keep it at that. Be straight with him and he'll be straight with you...if its a shitbox then you won't get it but if its clean and tidy, it stops, goes, has all the lights working, and a decent windscreen...he has been known to pass small chips in non vital areas then you should be right.
Good to see you deciding to get a real zook

the 2 inch body lift might be a problem for the RWC. Metal blocks are OK, plastic ones might not pass, assuming the tester notices.

Turns out the car is actually in Geelong. Taking it for spin now. Dan would ur mate pass a welded rear diff...
Heater is none existent and hole left in firewall. Big holes in floor pan where the roll bars go through.
But man do the rock crawlers work... Windscreen is near new I would say.

Jumping back in the GV was like getting into a luxury merc or something
My arms hadn't had a work out like that in a while lol.
Still keen but only if I can easily get a RWC and also obviously depends on how much it ends up being sold for on Ebay.
Supposedly he has set the reserve to $3,500

There are some spare open diffs kicking around you could RWC it on. I could supply a heater box to put that back. RWC or not , you need a heater. Holes in the floor etc are easily patched.
Still sounds like you do far worse
