62 year old Joan Goldsworthy had her car stolen from her driveway in Springvale, Victoria. The car was found in complete disarray with many of its more valuable and virtually irreplaceable pieces, being stolen.
Joan, as a single pensioner could not afford insurance and thus had no way to repair the vehicle.
A host of companies banded together to lend a hand and fix the damaged vehicle.
Joan was presented with her beloved fully restored ‘indy orange’ 1971 Holden Monaro, reconditioned not only to its former glory but to a level all motoring enthusiasts would envy.
Within a two week period the following parts and labour went into Joan’s Monaro at an estimated value in excess of $22,000.
