Yes.

A 'mog would be a perfect match for my X1/9

Want to be a decent 'mog tho'..... for a decent Fairlane.
1998? AU vers? Retail (dealer) about $11,000.

see above and my carpenter/sparky wanted threads I put in the carpark forums....

Its livable now But I still need to do plenty and my sparkys about as reliable as well I dont know anything else thats been that hard to get out and working....

The mobile side of my mechanicing is mostly setup I just load the tools and some tarps to setup into a field garage into the back of the trailer and hook it all up to big red.

I have a very select clientele that I'll do call out work for tho (anyone whose got a landrover, is within an hour or sos drive and mentions beer/burbon and coke)... but welcom drop ins ESP since I have a fully decked out workshop a 5 minute drive from here. (TY RAAF, TY sarge for approving me for unsuprevised key access and TY Taxpayers)

Due to cruddy regs I cant "legally" take a second job as a mechanic using my "ADF" skills untill after my ROSO expires. Theres ways around it but its a headache.

OK 97 fairlane then. it's an NL with every option but it is very tired. 351,000km on the clock, leaking power steering, leaking rocker gasket. Runs like a Toyota. 1st 2nd solenoid in the auto is sticking so it only does racing changes. It is also getting very poor economy. 350km from the gas where it used to be at least 450. Trade would be about $1500 to $2000 if the guy was drunk.
My wife won't drive the ford as she doesn't trust it.

Here is a pic of a guy in Melbourne that had one for sale a while back, still believe he has it still.... very nice example !!

I'd swap the Fairlane for a pushbike and a carton of guinness
