Overall, perhaps a few worth saving, and all are for sale
There's a few more too, but, gotta do some work, hey!
Cheers,
Matt

I asked about a "ball park" figure for a complete car - seems around $1500 - $3000 depending on how complete / repairable it is.
Apparently they have sold quite a few cars over the past 6 months... there were a few bare spots left from my last visit back in Feb 2004.

I was wondering why SIMS had not crushed the lot until Matt said the wrecker has been getting $1500 per car... I think SIMS only offers $300 by comparison... perhaps the increasing value of FBs and EKs are starting to protect these cars from the SIMS man...Harko wrote:Sims metal didnt pay that when they were in there crushing them !Brown Bear wrote:I asked about a "ball park" figure for a complete car - seems around $1500 - $3000 depending on how complete / repairable it is.

I was their last week called in coming back from the custom rod nats at Philip Island priced chromed headlight surrounds 80 each in not so good nick.
$10 to walk around the wrecks but you get a postcard as you leave.
Brown bear did you notice all the good chrome bits stacked in the back of the panel van in your pics?

I see a new show based on overhaulin scrapheap challenge and biker build offf.
As the producer I would hire the wrecking yard for one week , in this time Ratbox is set free to build something cool from the 30s 40s 50s or 60s .
It has to be driven away at the end of the 7th day and the work area tidy .
Sponsors will pay for all ascociated costs with a place on the show for their advertising .
A fire brigade on hand will be volontary and may be used to help in the build .
Its a hit for sure.

Yep, that panel van had a few nice bits in it, as did one of the wagons up on the hill ... one sedan still has its gear lever lock in place. Quite a few doors had scratch plate 'shadows' (not surprised), though surprisingly there seemed to be a few sun visors stashed around the place...
Harko, love the TV show idea! Time we introduced the safety-conscious world to the wonders of the 'ratbox rotissery'

x3 I'd get FoxTel just for that... Ratbox would extend his cult following beyond the bounds of the forum for sure!Brown Bear wrote:Harko, love the TV show idea! Time we introduced the safety-conscious world to the wonders of the 'ratbox rotissery'
