My trusty steed for the past 12 years has come to the end.
Rust has taken over in the sills, under the back seat and around the front and rear screens and God knows where else!!!!
It's giving up all running gear and window winders, handles, bumpers, tail lights etc for the chopped FB wagon but the rest is up for the taking.

I won't put this in the for sale section because I don't want to put prices on parts. What I'll do is take PM's if you need anything like front guards doors, boot, bonnet, rear couch cut, dog legs, roof, auto floor hump, interior etc.

................ and after you spent aaaaaaaaaallllllll that time and effort painting it !!!
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Wait... Hang on

Are you saying there's actually on 5 factory black cars? :P

Are you sure it won't polish out Trev?

Cheers

Words fail me, Trev...
I simply hate losing one of our dear old girls - especially one well known and enjoyed by me for many years.

My old bus's inaugral Nats at Nowra was cordially attended by this dear old girl on her debut - resplendant in its new livery, interior and style..

She will be sadly missed.

RIP, Black Magic...

Hoping someone might look to bringing her back to life - or morphing most of her into another..

frats,
Rosco

Nah in the back, that way he won't get the "I'll take that old car off yours hands for ya" visit from all the scrappiest and opportunists.
