Long shot but...where to buy EA82 heater core in New Zealand/Aus?

I know there's a few NZ guys floating around on these forums so decided to give it a shot.
My heater core in my 88' EA82 wagon is completely shot and I need a new one.
I had a replacement priced ex-Australia through a local radiator shop at NZD $440 + tax and that is just too expensive for me.

Anyone have a good source for heater core replacements? Don't mind paying for shipping if it's a decent price for the core.

It is the USA but I'm sure you could find one cheaper than $440 +tax

Cheers TOONGA, however there is quite a bit of difference between the LHD and RHD heater cores (pipe orientation, width and height) and I need to order one for a RHD car.

How shot is completely shot? :)

I recently got a leaky one (for an MY though) repaired at a radiator place, they took the end tanks off, put rods through it and soldered it all back up. But then again, I'm not sure what the L series cores look like, are they even full metal construction? Able to be repaired?
