EXCELLENT may have talked bill into going as well.

Here's some images from todays run to the graveyard.


A pair of what looks to be 'Whippet Tourers'


Ol' V44 Early Falcon racers final resting place.
The ute in the background gave up some fender spears.


This is fairly typical example of the interiors


This EK still had seat belts fitted


This shot shows a reverse light switch fitted to the steering column,
and a tin clutch reservoir hanging from a speedo cable by its clip.


Check out how the rust has almost dissolved the grille,
also a squizz at the indicators & and the barely noticeable historical numberplate!


Cool fin trims on an old plymouth or buick or whatever it used to be.


V8 paddock basher / death trap


the remains of a FE/FC boot, badge looks fine


This is a sneek peek in one of the sheds on the property,
decent looking 48 / FJ ute buried in parts.

Just the shed is awesome to rubberneck in, let alone the rest of the place.

Enjoy the pics

That place is amazing! Hope you got some good bits Jeff. See that clip on the tin clutch reservoir...one of those sold (it had been zinc plated) at the Sat night auction at the Albury Nationals for somewhere around $50-$80 if my memory serves me right...(I stand corrected but it went for a few bob)...

it was a great day out bit sun burnt
i went up there today to find some stainless and clips for the 2 doors i killed
needless to say they were every where i got some good ones but no luck with clips the only thing holding them on was moss so they came off easy enough
there is a few pollished ones up there ready to go where the sheep
squeeze through the wrecks and they get the wool n lanolin treatment

walking around the place today with THOMMO and just stumbling over things ive been up there a fair few times now but always seem to find somthing ive missed b4 fender spears on a ute , demister vents hd parcel shelf stuff i wasnt even looking 4

Richard and his missus Lisa walked around with a marker and ended up counting 66 fb/ek's and ran out of time. there has to be at least another 20 there so they will finish counting them next time we go up

so if we ever have the chance to get the FB/EK Nationals in SA boy have we got a weekend planned 4 you guys

great pics aswell THOMMO

cheers dave

Gday all as with the other lads have been to the car grave yard
a few times thought i would do something different went around
and got chassis and rego numbers and photos of every FB EK
that i could find will post these soon but will need 1 more visit to
finish list. does any one know how the chassis numbers work in
relation to how many were built? example- 5887A which is from
a adelaide built fb .is this 5887 out of total built and 23896M
melbourne built fb, also where they built in any other cities?

Theres some nice shots there thommo.

Reckon you can get me those Single Spinner indicator rocket thingys?

I'd absolutely LOVE to have those.

Gday Nick
I reckon those indicators would crumble in your fingers if you tried to remove them

Thommo,

Give it a go mate. If you can get em out.. i'd love to have em. Would they fit the EK indicator hole?

Cheers

Ive sent you a PM deadsled.
I think they are there to stay.
