It's in my dad's shed... hence the 'next week' delivery.

As it has laid untouched after being gifted to me as part of my purchase of a HR holden (in 1997), I would wait off discussing what type of beer to trade... might be little more than a can of VB :wink:

At time of writing we are planning a week in Darwin prior to the nats, flying in and out of Sydney. Will most likely return to Sydney on Thursday, then leave for Narranderra at our own leisure Friday morning.

Sounds like a good score! Apparently the 'life on mars' cortina was a mix up of equipment and trim levels... there's a hilarious episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson riles Philip Glenister (Gene Hunt) about it... his response "I think you're mistaking me for someone who gives a toss" ...

Colin,

I have 4 here that I was saving for exactly that purpose - there's a bit of straightening and polishing to do, but it's a start!

I'd be happy to pass them on to you for the price of postage.

PM me with your details and I'll send them on over to you

Cheers,

Matt

Got the diamonds, but can't help out with much else... what side are they missing off?

Send me a PM with your details and I'll mail them down to you :wink:

Yep, that panel van had a few nice bits in it, as did one of the wagons up on the hill :wink: ... 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...

One that might fit the bill...

Just a straightforward engine 'upgrade' :wink:

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.
