I missed you Mark! I headed up and checked it out today too, hoping to save myself some paintwork.
The scrape along the side isn't dissimilar to what my car would've looked like before a dodgy repair.

I didn't grab anything, so a waste of a massive drive.
What bits did you grab Mark? Timing belt cover, grill and headlights, bonnet etc?

I picked up a set of Bosch spark-leads in almost new condition($5), and many other minor bits...ie. the gear linkage bolt, that dropped-off last w/e on South Road.

Cheers mate.

Went and had a look today after uni just to see if it had the steering rack i needed and it does so ill be heading over tomorrow morning with the tools.

For anyone that is interested its a 79 accoriding to the vin (compliance plate says 11-7 and it still got decent rear arch spats, drivers side big mirror and the door cards although brown are in very good shape.

dado can you check out what the rear drivers door is like? even a photo perhaps, I know someone that needs one.

[Jace]

Late reply Jarred, but there's a scrape down the right-hand side along the lower section of the doors and front quarter panel. I was hoping the drivers door was at least straight and had restorable paint, but nope, scape's about 2 or 3cm deep (all pushed in a fair way).

Still some good bits left on as @ 10am this morning.....this car must have been well looked after, as the seat runners (white-plastic thingys that stop ur seats rocking) were like new
