Found and recovered this KE30 Toyota for my old man, hopefully 3 is enough now.

 

Enough of the Jap stuff, spent 6 buzy hours recovering a UC sedan for my mate. Not much meat to it, a LX owner must have already got the doors. Had to take diff wheels and stubbs to get it home but we got there even if it was not keen on leaving. Been where it is for 10+ years

 

as found

 

Looked like she wanted to fly

couple of blokes happy with the kill, shame we had to tow it with a ffffff ford.

Early VK wagon stuffed been there bout same time

gutted out VK genuine L31 4 speed, if it said HDT i bet it would get full resto but it dont so im guessing its waiting for crusher now

The beast ready to donate its K frame and then get chopped up.

 

In amongest the fun my mate brought his LH home

Then we took this LX to its new home on the farm

Dropped into pub on way out to have my mate have 3 people tell him they owned toranas and another had an A9X. Normal every time have a Torana on a trailer somebody says they owned one or ask if its for sale. Very buzy 6 hours but loads of fun

I'd be grabbing lots of bits off those utes, like bumperettes, fine spline banjo from the HZ, Grille of the HX Kingswood ute etc. Good dashpads, sunvisors etc are worth really good $. If you could grab that gold HX Kingswood ute for scrap value i'd grab it (it may be a Holden ute with a Kingswood grille). Good doors of these are worth like $500 a piece nowadays.

[Neils LX]

gold ute def a kingswood. Not sure on diffs will will be back for another look soon. I dont nead any ute stuff but might grab gold one if right price

[Stinga]

I'll get some pics of the FB/EK ute that I've got out the farm... Started life as a pano, but grandpa needed a ute so he cranked the oxy up. Same deal, used the pano tailgate as the back window. It's actually relatively well done for a farm job!
