Happy motoring Your fellow Aussie was trying to warn you about 1 vendor in particular, but made it sound like all vendors are crooks in this forum (i'm sure he didn't mean to). Every inquiry i've made through this forum has only been responded to with respect and friendliness, and every transaction has been a pleasure (with the exception of 1, same vendor your compatriate is warning against). In my estimation, 99% of these members are great!
Glad your aboard and get ready to spend your hard earned cash!!!

Welcome!
I would consider ordering the rear reflectors to replace those blanks in your rear bunper.

Nice looking ride! 
Too bad about the transmission, though.
