I want to get the AU fully detailed before she goes.
Can anyone recommend someone? The closer to the eastern suburbs the better. What should I roughly be paying for a full detail? Inside and out? Cheers Dan

Anywhere from $180 -$400 depending on the Location - Detailer - work required - Desired result.
I cant imagine yours being that bad but wouldnt quote without seeing it first hand. PM SVR73 and ask him he has some Topshelf detailer mates down that way that are of Autopia Standards (elite) I'd do it but your way out of my service area lol

Try Alan Smith of VIP Auto Care in Warrigal rd Moorabbin, well known in the car industries and a member of the FPV & XR club of Vic. Ford cars are his specialties.

haha! The new owner wouldnt be happy with me then would he!
I have to admit I love owning a car with 13 inch tyres on the rear now! I put BIG BRAKES on the front on saturday and had to upgrade to MASSIVE 15 inch interceptors!  Ahh the joys of not worrying about excessive tyre wear! :eclipsee_

haha, Im getting that a lot believe it or not :P
It would be better off with someone that can drive it all the time rather than sit in my driveway 95% of the time.

Yep, already started on the next car. Ive got an LJ torana as the next toy. It is already fitted with an NA RB30, supra 5 speed and I put some VT commodore brakes on it on the weekend.
Its nice and small and worth nothing so I can hack it up and race it without worrying about what its going to cost me if I ever put it into a wall or have a breakage. Once the AU goes, Ill convert it to turbo, then save up for a good auto, 9 inch, etc etc etc.
