I used to live in Melbourne and have friends who could go look at the car. However I think it is pretty obvious it is a parts car (drivetrain) or a rebody etc.
I have been racing/restoring/driving Pontiacs for decades. My wife finally asked if she could pick out her own car! LOL I always bought Pontiacs for her to drive either new or used. I have been known to "come home" with a car she had no idea I was buying (not for her but for the "collection"). I always kept my car hobby pretty much funded through car stuff either selling cars or parts. I did use my 401k occasionally to take a loan to buy cars but paid it back within a year. We both had careers and had our own savings/retirement accounts and a joint account that paid all the household stuff.
Now that we are retired and on a fixed income our money is combined so I need to keep her in the "loop" on any car purchases. The biggest obstacle I have is storage and the time to keep everything in tip top shape. I thought when I retired I would have a lot more time to "play" with the cars. However with all my other interests/hobbies I don't seem to have enough time to do everything!
