Steve Jackson wrote:Hey Tim, what happened to the Flash Ute pictured?

looks alot like a ute that was on ebay a while back

there's a guy think he's on here but i see him more often on the FE/FC forum for some reason

his username is earlyholdenfan, his avatar has a marone wagon on it, says flash kit wanted

well (after all that

) if it's the ute that was on ebay he has it

after just reading what tim wrote sounds even more like it so there's still hope it may not have been scraped

Got to love the Egg Nog

That's right Ratbox, I do recall.

Thanks for moving the pics up Tim. Do you want me to delete the doubles?

thought you were talking about the blue ute Mick.

it may be a different one just looks very similar and the story (country NSW scrappers ) sounds very very similar

the one i'm thinking of was for sale on ebay by a scrap dealer in country NSW

Tim

Not in Nyngan these days only FB/EKs I could find were an EK hydro being restored and an EK getting the Strut & IRS treatment oh and an unsavable EK in a farm tip
heard a lot of so and so has a couple in his barn/shed stories but was all BS
