I, like most people trying to find a ra23, are after one in good condition with no rust, good interior and clean motor. I am in the Wollongong area but will travel anywhere in with 8 hours drive for the right car. The preferred car would be a white ra23, fresh paint, re-trimmed interior and nice modern mags. Any ta22 or ra28 will be considered. I am willing to pay up to $6000 for the right one. Modification are fine, preferably non-turbo. I just need to find one, and quick! Ive been looking for the last 12 months, and either cant find the right one or someone else beats me to the good ones in the trader. Any help would be appreciated. And all cars will be considered the biggest factor is no rust good paint and will past roadworthy certificate. any help would be much appreciated!

I know how it feels. I'm going to have an RA23 for sale in the next 6 months or so. But it's probably got too much rust for you. The engine in it at the moment is dead (either cracked the head or block) I'm about to put another one in it this weekend if all goes to plan.
I've got an RA40 for sale with no rust, it's going really cheap but it's an RA40, not as good looking as the TA22 - RA23/8.
From what I've seen is that good ones are few and far between because people do them up but aren't willing to part with them. Would it be better to buy a cheap one and do it up from there if you're willing to spend $6000?
Good luck anyway

Thanks for the reply. I have thought about finding one that is negelected and doing it up myelf, but I am no all that confident on my sheet metal work and to get it resprayed properly cost a fortune. With all the future plans ive got for the car including modern efi engine swap, retrimmed interior, and billet wheels i was really hoping to get one expensive area out of the way from the initial purchase. Thanks for the offer on the ra40 but im really looking for the older shape models.

There's only one way to learn! That's what I'm doing with mine. The best way to learn is through trial and error.
I know a few people who have taken short tafe courses to learn how to do that stuff to their car. Often they have worked on their car as their project.
And I can't wait until I've finished my car because then I can look at it and know I did it myself. But sometimes it gives me the s^*ts that much that I'd rather pay someone to do it.
I'll keep an eye out for any good ones that are going in melbourne.

thanks for that mate, I go down to melbourne about four times a year so to have someone keeping an eye out down there would be great. I would love to have the time off work to be able to do the tafe course and thus do all that work myself but work commitments means it more feasable for me to work and pay someone to do it then take time of to learn it then do it. All the best with your project im sure its a more satisfying experience doing it yourself.

They have night courses at TAFE cause I looked into it recently. And it doesn't cost that much either.
