Looks neat body wise, did he get it from close to the coast? Looks like it's had a dose of salt water in the engine bay, Trev

Damn,
Mr Buckley was the first engineer I ever used. The poor bloke had some problems with his legs (walking) not sure if it was because of an accident or what. He had the same name and company then moved to the Blacktown area.
I hate to ask but I wonder if he's still alive and kicking? Top bloke and nothing was a problem if it was done right.
That wagon you have was done before the RTA changed the power to weight rules.
Very lucky score and where the hell did you find it?
Regards Greg

Hi Trev, it was out in the weather for the past three months as the last owner had no storage for the car after moving house. He had a tarp over it, hence the surface rust.
Howdy Greg, It was the guy who owned the now "Ratbox Flash Ek Wagon" when it was smashed. Then he purchased this wagon as a replacement back in 1998 & sold the Flash....

The above link is to his wagon on the day of the smash.
