Tim Great story mate. Great persistance! :thumbsup:
Years ago I used to drive regularily drive past a yard with a few old holdens parked behind a shed. I asked mates who lived nearby to get the guys details. After a few months I ran into a guy in the pub who knew who owned them. After a big night and way too many beers, I forgot everything the bloke had told me and forgot about the cars. With too many jobs at home and struggling with my own project I put them to the back of my mind for "another day". A few months back I was heading north to go Pig hunting and remembered about the "black beast" and sure enough she was still there with her friends. On the way home I sat at that chain mail fence trying to remeber who owned them and searching for a phone number. Being slightly worse for wear and obviously not realising the significance of the old girl, I thought "maybe another day" and trundled off home.

Anyway my loss. Good luck mate and great score! :thumbsup: Cant wait to see the resto. Cheers Doller

PS Lesson learnt, drink less and query every old car you see!
