How much $$$$ have you spent?

Dang Marty, I thought I was a die hard. LOL

Just curious (and hopefully not an invasion of privacy), but is that Australian money or US dollars? I'm guessing most of your parts probably come from here.

Thats Aussie dollars so the way things are at the moment that would be a few thousand more in US dollars. If you're doing it do it properly even if it takes a little longer.
I have bought numerious NOS parts from the states as well as aftermarket things like my vintage air. Normally better service and a better price than here! Although it is now looking like a large supplier of obsolete parts there has riped me off with not only with not supplying parts paid for but charging twice!!! I always knew that would happen sooner or later as I deal with so many people in the states, law of averages! I never expected a large well know bussiness to be the one!
