Think this is wishful - even when converting to AUD!

The FAA estimated that two hours of work would be required to comply with the mandate to calculate the factored service hours of an airplane. Conditional costs to perform an inspection and to replace nuts and bolts were estimated at $147.50 per wing spar. The cost of replacing a wing spar, if needed, was estimated at $8,260 each.

$147.50 probably cover 1/2 the NDT guys invoice. Not sure what the actual spar would cost, but freight to Australia would bump that up. Most aircraft look silly with one freshly painted wing.
