That pink sedan looks interesting. It has FB front and rear bumpers, bonnet bar, plus some FB trim pieces. Though it has EK colour scheme.

The first time we went up there was about 12yrs ago
the old guy back then said he was going to do them up one day
Went up for a visit friday spoke to the old guy again he said he would get rid of
Them because his missus was on his case to clean up the block
Although there is a few good bits left on them the body's are that rusty if you tryed to
Tow them out they would rip in half
Also along way to tow them home just for a few parts

Pink one looks to have White flash and roof to me, so probably a prototype after all!

Still a lot of bits and pieces worth salvaging
The rust on these is very obvious and you have seen these in "real life" so I'd go with your estimation.
But I will say that now more than ever I'm seeing people taking on project cars with rust issues that twenty years ago would have been written off as too far gone
Reason is pretty simple, they are getting thin on the ground and while the odd "good" one might still be discovered, the majority are open up your wallet and roll your sleeves up cars
Thanks for sharing and you guys are braver than me, standard issue for hunting through old cars here where I am in the warmer months is leather boots, long denim jeans and a bloody big stick or shovel

we boast brown, red belly black and tiger snakes here.
