some mates and I used to rent this house in Dendy st brighton for $15 a week, this is about 1977
we would buy old holdens from the StKilda impound auctions for between $50 and $150 and wreck or repair em in the backyard, this FE was one of our first sales


some of them we did some radical modifications before we sold them e.g bonnet scoop and custom grill
amazing what you can achieve with an oxy



then when we got bored we used to play smash up derby, this is how i learnt to drive at the age of 16



Good times

Flinders Street Station in Melbourne 1960. How's the Taxi paint schemes. The standard FB taxi done up like a special is interesting!


Barkly Street, Footscray in Melb. How's the Green standard wagon?

A yellow Cab FC & Red and Yellow Cab FB in Elizabeth St. Melbourne in 1960. Of interest is the "Hottie" FX or FJ beside them with the racing stripes. I can see the oldies - "tut tut, bodgies!"

Cheers

[RobinGi]

its strange that i mistook it when i was thinking of that van when i posted on this thread and how I wanted to keep it for myself as a first car but didn't have the $300 that we sold it for, doh!

[samprinci]

yer its a very familiar story, @ the time, selling them seemed the only option
