Sure is, I had a good look around too.Originally Posted by Innuendo
The owner has a great HR van, a couple of Sandmans and is rebuilding a HQ van that he's just finished painting (Purr-Pull) that will be a beaut.

No HK, but I'm planning a return trip soon, so if you want I will see what's there.
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
Must have driven past it a thousand times and never dropped in. This yard once had the FB shorty from Cowra. Not sure how they acquired it but I know it ended up in QLD.
Ask him about the "FB Shorty" if you drop in again.
If you do and have a camera grab photos of it stags and its firewall chassis number. Especially if it is a Melbourne body plant HR.
The fb shorty coupe got bought off the old timer near Cowra (who had originally modified it and registered it in the early 70's I think) by another guy in Ulladulla around 2006. He either sold it to or had it stored at wandi wreckers for a while after that
Yeah, as I said at the beginning, I also have driven past countless times and never had the time to stop.
I actually used to grind cams when I worked for Watsons in the 80's and 90's for the place next door, Wandandian Auto Spares I think it was called, and often thought about dropping by to say hi, but I was usually driving at night and they were closed.
And HK, I'll take some pics of the tags and chassis number for you when I get back there.
So now I have the wheels, tyres, nuts, still need a few centre caps, but that won't stop me fitting the wheels. All I need to do is find a free couple of hours to polish the 3 I still need to do and get the tyres mounted and balanced and then I can take a bunch of new pics.
