OK, update time. Car is off the trailer. Got a 4WD and heavy duty chain, probably killed the tree but it's off.

Some pics of her resting in peace.

Rear tailgate was not attached.
Image

Note the pretty moss, Nicely covers the whole car.
Image

Natural flow through ventilation in all floor sections, add extra interior light.

Modified rear suppension. Note the diff has turned over, and fuel tank is vented at the bottom.

Will add some more pics of the interior next.

Nick, if you were looking for the lower section from the rear wheel arch to the rear bumper, the passengers side is rusted out :cry: . Didn't check the drivers side. :?

OK, on to the interior.
Quite a few things missing, as you can see.

Image

Image

Front seat is a strange combo (FB style? or unique type), different to the rear in but same colours. Solid green at the front, green fleck in middle, and silver at the top.
Image

Image

Not quite sure what was nesting under the back seat :shock: :shock:
Image

Will cut this out and keep it for new carpet insert, Original Holden vinyl floor emblem.
Image

Cleaned up a bit of the seat to see the colour, would have been nice nice when new, Green fleck / Green.
Image

Rear seats seem to be standard EK design. Didn't clean it but it's green also.
Image

Will put the details from the ID tag on the other topic, seems to have a lot of other stuff on it. Originally made in Sydney.

Retro, the japanese friend is my second sons car, a skyline. Looks OK in the last photo. He had a fight with a tree. :D He lost :shock: :shock:
Not a straight panel or wheel left on it. He is very lucky to still be around. :D Engine was pushed into the passenger seat.

Hi Finny,
I'm after that NASCO roof rack if no one else has dibs on it... :wink:

Paroharo, it's definately NOT a Nasco. It's been bolted onto the roof and Just some heavy duty welded pipe. Do you really want it ?

Well I really haven't got back to it again, to check all the items that everyone has asked about. :x :x It's parked at my parents property, so I have to drive out to it.

Hopefully this weekend, but time has a way of slipping past quickly. :shock: :shock: and I haven't even checked out all the bits I needed off it yet. :cry:

Lets slow down and smell the flowers, stress is a major killer. :shock: :shock:
