So far there has been some interesting finds.. numerous "sets" of spares & extras ranging in all sorts of condition.
Examples are dash surrounds, chrome trimming, chrome door handles & window winders, grilles, badges, rubber seals, a huge amount of interior fittings & some extra panels!
One of the cooler items, was a really old taco meter.. with a user set redline! I'm hoping it works and install it into the car, keeping the nostalgia/vintage look.
We also examined the brakes, no good. It appears the lines are blocked somewhere & the master cylinder is stuffed.
After that, I drove the "beast" (VX commodore) up close and personal, used jumper leads and tried my luck... Errrrr err.. it cranked over, no worries! always a good sign to know the stock motor has life. I'd still like to build a decent 4K/5K or perhaps a 4AGE conversion if funds allow.
Once I had my fun experimenting with the motor, I kept at the interior and started cleaning the carpet, under the rear sets & removed the head lining.
Once again, more to come! :D
