How do i find the history of a motor in NSW using the engine number? I know it is out of a FC as it is L52**** but when i went to the RTA they said there was no history of the motor existing and i should try REVS.

Well... My application for a loan has been knocked back by the Credit Union that I have been a member of for over 25 years. Their issue is a complaint from a large Communications company that is a crock of $h!+ and I will be moving my account to another organization very soon and contacting the ...

Harko... my fiancee is so impressed with your build that she wants me to spend lots on getting my EK up and running as a wedding car rather than spending lots on the wedding ..
