I have spent a day with the guys at Alipine Eagle (along with Clyde and Sam Frost) and I can confidently say you would struggle to find anyone in Australia with the same level of skill, knowledge and experience at a lower cost, in fact you would struggle to even match the price.

As for restoring the 403 in question, as Claude points out there is a lot to be said for starting from scratch and assuming the worst, rather than buying a runner for considerably more in unknown condition. There's just one problem - where is the engine and gearbox going to come from?
