I do know where some of the cheapest front cuts in sydney are. Try nation truck spares in Arnecliff (not sure about the spelling) Ph: 9599 2300
I bought a 1GG front cut in mint cond. everything including struts inc. brakes, strut brace, good guards, bonnet the works for $1000. Got it home charged the battery (good one at that), hooked up a fuel pump to the lines and turned the key (yes even scored that) and it fired straight up no worries.
