The FB project, 2.0

Post by Grant »

Hi all
I still have the FB that I bought as my first car back in 1995 - it had a fair bit of work done to it back then.
Problem is, it has been sitting idle in the shed at my folks' place for the past 10 years or so and is in real need of some TLC to get it back on the road, both on the mechanical and bodywork fronts.
I think structurally it's pretty sound in terms of rust, but has had some bog put in various panels, in the usual FB places.
Does anyone know of someone in the Melbourne/Geelong area who, for one, has some general all-round skills in restoring old Holdens and, secondly, might be interested in taking charge of such a project (paid, of course)?
Not looking for it to become a show car - just something that is safe, drivable, presentable and reasonably original.
I realise it's not a cheap enterprise, but I couldn't justify spending more than $20K on the project in total.
The car is in Geelong at the moment, I'm in Melbourne and cannot store it here.

Any pointers gratefully accepted.

Cheers
Grant
