Title: Farm Cars RIP Post by: HARKO on August 25, 2002, 12:13:46 PM Here's a few snap shots of some delappidated old Holdens ,
At some stage a bushfire swept through and burned out nearly everything ,Warping metal,Melting alloys,And leaving not much at all that was worthwhile recycling. (http://photo.starblvd.net/~flame/2-5-1.jpg) This was one of the better ones on the property but The owner says these old things people will pay a lot for $800 ,All expenses including the two hour drive mostly on dirt road just didnt weigh up R.I.P. (http://photo.starblvd.net/~flame/2-5-2.jpg) The Ute in the centre here has a large tree across its broken back ,It completely bent the car till the sill had reached terra-firma.I did cut some sections out of the turret of this one to aid with the chop top on the EK at home and pinched a few stainless trim's that were black but still polished up brilliantly ,The smoke had left a coating that protected them untill I arrived The wagon on the left must have been a prototype vehicle because those funky guards and grille dont get any better (http://photo.starblvd.net/~flame/2-5-3.jpg) The first wagon I cut the rear off to build into a lounge but later turned up something a little more workable ,Swap meet sold this one. For Sale one slightly warmed Grey motor some rust. A better angle of the ute ,The heat weakened the car enough to let it bend in such a way. May they all rest in peace..
