82 Roadstar Ute A12 - A15 + 5 speed conversion - help wanted

[wazzafrog]

Im looking for someone close by who's keen to help...
- do the work and get paid
- but also steer me in the right direction in terms of value/performance

The body has no rust now but has a few small dings. and a recent one I can prob get done on Insurance.
The current A12 + 4 speed has died.
Im replacing this with an A15 + 5 speed that was running in another roadstar.

The new engine is ok but could do with freshening up (is running extractors+single webber) - part 1
The gearbox 1st & 2nd synchro is stuffed so needs some love - part 2
The body needs lots of small sections cleaned up, then a final spray.

Don't want to go overboard, but do want a tidy sweet runner.

Im in Hibiscus Coast, Nth Auckland... any takers???
