I had to pickup some wandering sheep last week and spotted these on the farm in their grave yard.
I think these are 3rd or 4th generation farmers with a lot of rusting equipment. He likes his Toyota Crowns as there was 5 or 6 there but none running.

I checked out the EK's but nothing to salvage.

Two Shooting Landaus, one with home-made bull-bar. Not bad.
But I am very taken by the FJ ute.

The blue Shooting Landau is curious... radiused wheel arches by gas-axe. If it wasn’t for the bullbar, it may have been a Paddock Gasser

first one looks like a 27/28 chev - they were imported as complete motor and chassis assemblies with front guards and engine cowell but no cab or tray which was all made here in Aus by coach builders - Dad has a couple he has restored - were amazing workhorses.

I see a few bits on those EK’s - you aren’t looking hard enough!!! FJ ute would make good yard art or even a rebuilder these days .....

Hi Guys, Just a word of advice. From what I see , you guys are about twenty years behind us Kiwis as far as parts cars and wrecks go. There seems to be absolutely nothing laying around here now and front guards seem to be un-obtainable. -SO Let nothing go to waste !!, no matter how small the part.
You can always fix or repair rotten stuff, at least you have some thing to start with. Regards to all Daz.
