When up today with my mate Graham to strip the barn find
and obtain the interior trim.
God what a mess!..

Anyway here's some pics because I know your all waiting to see the car.
Reddo's in some as well!

Wait till ya see the rust..I never wont to see it again..

This car had had a accident sometime in it's life, all the signs were there.
Inner guard bolts were painted and the passenger side moulding was not attached correctley.
Over spray in places it should not have been.

















The body number is FB 11890S







I don't know if thats undercoat, maybe Steve can tell us?.





Some good side moulding for later..



Handbrake....





Got the roof lining bows..



I wanted the front floor and sub frame underneath but time beat us..bugger
Dam a good floor going to the crusher..PM Reddo quick if ya want it.







Rolled the FB on it's side to get to the boot floor









I needed a boot floor for the Adelaide FB got this one in good nick, well the right side anyway



We dragged the FB out on it's roof for Reddo and left it in the street for the crusher











Cheers

Good to see there were at least a few good bits

Rust, what rust? Just holes where the rust used to be

What did you do with that bonnet bird Mr.

Yo...
A sad ending for another old FB,,,,
The boys did it tough down the yard... 100% humidity and 33 deg.....
Rain ??? what Rain ??

Glad to see a lot of useable bits getting saved.

My biggest problem when it comes to saving bits is that i dont realise just how hard they are becoming to find..
I grew up with these old Holdens and when iwas younger they could be found laying around everywhere.
I find nowadays i would rather just source the bits i need when i need them rather than hoard great mounds of stuff and find that i will never use them. Thats why i am happy to let others come and pick over the leftovers of the stuff i dont need...
Plus a few bucks back in the pocket to cover the purchase price and trailer hire is a bit of a sweetner too... .

The scappys have been notified that there is a car to collect at my address. They said they would be onto it some time this week.
if someone sees something they want on the old ribcage of the car then ya better ph me asap.... 0401070541.
I will call the scrap bloke and put the pick up on hold... But you would need to collect what you want asap as the neighbourhood kids have been climbing all over it.. i keep hunting them off... but they kept coming back.. have put lime green tape all around the car with "Keep off - danger"on it.
Last thing i need is some clown suing me for letting thier kid carve himself up on the rusty bits...
I want it gone.

Wayne... please pm me your address... i got this mould support'/clips off the front doors this morning. will stick em in the mail once i have an address.
Regards
Reddo.

Posting the dial surround tomorrow mate.

I'll take the frame and whats left of the floor if someone can cut it out and get it down here! my frame is full of rust holes!
