save them before crushing

[skyc110]

despite the long long distances and the high cost of transportation

( forklift to load - loading car - forklift to download ) and the

risk-taking ( due to going to isolated villages and faraway places )

stil some enthusiasts take that risk and pay mony to save the 240K

before the reach of the ghost ( crushing machine ) .....

a white 240K over white 240K over a blue one

so he full the trailr and came ( about one week trip )

[Fun_in_my_z]

Sorry to say but most of them are already crushed...

[Alfadog]

So they're saved now..... but what are they good for?

[Mr Camouflage]

They look like everything useful has already been stripped off them.

[WingZr0]

Make like a model AND kit bash !

Chop the panels and make a 240k or GTR Concept Car

~Z~

So they're saved now..... but what are they good for?

first .... we like to see them ( to look at them )

daily especially before sunsite ( when we drink the coffee and remember the

past )

second .... we use them to take the firewall to be used when coverting an

australian 240K from RHD to LHD ..... the firewall nowadays cost about $200

third .... we really can not see a 240K going to iron and steel factory !!!!!! so we thing that its part of the fidelity to the car which keep us happy for decades

That white one on top looks like it has a better spare wheel well than about half of the supposedly good cars I've looked at!

For that matter the roof rails are too.

"first .... we like to see them ( to look at them )

Good on you!!

Australians (like our American friends) have generally forgotten the skills and urge to actually rebuild something so unless good easy to fit replacements are available it's off to the scrapheap. And before I get blistered, yes I can and do make my own rust repair panels.

i'm glad to see that those C110s were spared. perhaps the shells can be rebuilt back up to complete cars, given enough time, money, and focus.

[Mr Camouflage]

Like Skyc110 says, I suspect there LHD firewall and identity (chassis number) will be transferred into an imported RHD car, since its illegal to convert a RHD car and use it on the road, but if it had a LHD cars identity (chassis number), the authorities would be none the wiser.

[Alfadog]

An interesting proposition!

Those "cars" just got a whole lot more valuable.

[skyc110]

spare wheel well worth $100 .... on the top car it is much better

than the one on my car !!!!!!!!!!!
