Hi,

I may be able to get parts for you. What parts are you after?

JH

not so much as in parts, but chopping some sections out of the car, since he's not willing to part with the whole car to someone else

roof bits and rear boot panels (bottom section thru to and including wheel corner)

can send photos if needed. anything you can do is muchly apreciated

If chopping involves oxy equipment, I'm fairly sure they won't permit it. However, if you send a list/diagrams/photos, I'll go and ask them.  

edit: (BTW How would you get the panels to Sydney?)

Grim news,

"vehicle body no longer in stock"

Somehow... you have to get to these cars before the wreckers get their hands on them.

What does that mean - has what was left of the car been crushed? So much for my big plans for this weekend. This is irritating as several people tried to snap up what was left of the car before it got minced and they wouldn't have a bar of it... the idiots.

why is everyone so keen on these things lol

how much is a rolling shell worth? i know where theres one sitting in a factory.... might actually be up for sale soon. body was all straightened up by a panel beater like 3 weeks ago

edit - sorry the one im talking about is a 4 door datto, still says c210 on the tags tho???

yea there are 2 and 4-door c210 skylines mate :(

The C210 sedan still isn't worth mega-bucks unfortunately, (although prices are climbing), but there is bound to be plenty of interest in a rust-free car. Please let the forum know if it does come up for sale.

The C210 is attractive because it is cheap, it runs similar engine and drivetrain to the popular and pricey Z cars, they are comfortable and easy enough to repair. Maybe they aren't the coolest car on the planet, but they are pretty quirky at least. They are getting a bit rarer now, so they get a bit of attention from passers by, too.

Looking back at the state of the car as it rolled into the wreckers (see first post, pics are still there at the moment), it was in fairly good condition. Have no idea why they were unwilling to sell it complete. I did ask and they simply said it "wasn't allowed".

Will ask about the car and let you know.

probably sold it to his mate. we are dealing with people who have the iq of a brick!

thanks anyway mate. your a champion! ill post some pics incase anyone can help out otherwise

An update:

Spoke to the guy at Jolly's this morning. The C210 has been crushed and sent off for scrap.

The story is that they cleared several rows of cars on the lot to make room for 20 cars that arrived.

The aerial pic (http://www.jollysupullit.com.au/Home/Home.asp) shows the cars packed really close together. It's very difficult to retrieve some parts (like doors and guards). They clear a row, then fill a row.

As far as rare goes, ive only ever seen 5 C210 sedans in Perth or known of them.

haven't seen any coupe's at all

I was in Perth for a holiday in 2004 and saw a stock light brown coupe with WA plates, east Perth.

It was very clean, parked behind the shopfronts.

Big shame the car is crushed. What a waste.

Hopefully i speak for most in saying that the wreckers guys are f$&king tools!

I'd like to say a really BIG thankyou to John who thankfully got in and got parts for me before those F wits demolished that car. John really went out of his way to help and this is much appreciated, onya John. Ricky

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
