Howdy punch. There is a neato thread in Tilted Motors that I bet you will like about a fellow who is restoring his Mustang. I have followed it and can tell it is a restoration by someone who loves his car - not someone who just has money to throw away.
You can find it here:

Howdy frought! There are lots of aussies here and so I think you will fit right in. Don't be afraid to post. I suspect that the best place where you can get your feet wet without having to worry about saying the wrong thing is in Tilted Nonsense. This way you can meet some of the regulars and get used to posting. There is a funny thread where you "own" the previous poster's picture in there and anotheer one on "This or That" that might be interesting.
