i have only ever purchased two RA28's, but have done things a little arse backwards.
I bought the parts car first! I was in the market for a new car after smashing my AE92, and had my heart set on a celica of some sort - so i started researching and looking.
It just so happened that about 15 celica's popped up at the time in the TP (trading post) and i found an RA28 with all the parts, and a shithouse body (RUST!!)
it looks good here, but look closely for the "speed holes"
I bought this above one for:
- wheels
- suspension
- motor
- interior
- mechanical bits
- 3 months of remaining rego
From then i looked for a good body RA28. It took about 3-4 months, and LOTS of pestering a poor guy from down in canberra to finally get my hands on a mechanically rooted rust free one. Basically i was on the lookout for anything that had a good body, since this is the most expensive and irreplaceable part of the RA28.
I had to tow it on a car trailer back from canberra too. So basically when it comes to finding the right RA28, it comes down to body condition. You will pay for a good body. Be prepared to fork out for extra things that you dont need, just to get the good body.
BTW - this is the good one, after moving all the parts across
