    A good trip to the wreckers....

    I went down to Geelong to the wreckers down there as I heard they had a few windowless vans in the yard. All were sold bar a WB and I have scored a rear cut from it..... side panels and roof.... probably cut out the beaver panel as well.... going down in a couple of weekends with a disc grinder and sabre saw to cut of what I need.

    The had a really straight and rust free early HQ windowless shell which is sorta sold... they are checking for me if th guy still wants it as they haven't hear from him.... it's a beauty..

    Also scored plenty of GTS dash fascias and some kingy ones with original radio holes so have plenty to keep me busy for a while now.

    They had a heap more GTS fascia's, I picked through them for the best ones.... they all have the radio hole butchered, some are cracked and broken through to the clock hole. $20ea I couldn't go past them. I might get some more when I go back down, they have a heap of consoles as well.

    If they have a hz tan console, or buckskin one we can paint which isn't damaged, could you let me know, if you think it is a good price...and you have checked it out, can you grab us one as the one in the yellow van is a bit broken at the back....

    They restore them and paint them whatever colour you need, they have asked me about repairing their cracked ones. I'll find out a price for you and let you know.

    Epic find.

    I could do with a Black HQ manual console in a nice condition. If your interested in getting one for me Also a GTS dash to suit.

    What would the pricing be?

    It all depends on how much they cost me to buy, how much time I have to spend repairing them and how hard they are to clean up.

    I've only restored one console so far and that one is for my van.

    Their HQ ones aren't cheap and they only have a couple.

    This one is on Ebay at the moment....
