Can You remember all the cars you have ever owned? Regsistered/Unregistered.
My starts back with a XW fairmont wagon and a XT falcon wagon as parts for XW. (young and didn't know what I was doing eventually sold off.
Mazda Bongo Van, was going to drive to WA and was told bulldust holes would swallow me up and Id be stranded, so sold it and stayed here.Some where fits story of Mrs getting caught driving unreg, no lic, & false plates. that's another thread.
ZG fairlane, rusty sills, around rear screen, (still didn't know anything) someone I trusted stuffed with carby and it wouldn't even run anymore.
Chrysler by chrysler CM model originally from a wrecker and had been bodged badly got rid of.
A couple of of valiants VJ type. Still lack of knowledge and listening to bad info.
Couple of speedway/ demo berby cars: ej holden, xc falcon, centura. But only actually used XC.
Toyota crown that had a dead motor and apparently was the rarest of crown motors and couldn't get parts. I was told the box wouldn't mount to other crown motors. SCRAP.
Austin Kimberely ended up going to scrap because no mate was interested in helping me with engine diagnostics.
little early dato 1200 with no keys to get into it. sold to a friend. it had no rust.
Couple of dodge trucks, one was on a HQ chasis with fabricated sides to suit and was advised wouldn't pass modification tag so stipped and sold.
Since all the above I learnt and grew. Regrets yeah sure. But no Dad since aged 14, I had no one around to guide me past those who use your vulnerability to people out to make a buck and lead you on.
So I've learn't the hard way.
So then I went on to own a HK ute that I used to drive around Glenwood(near gympie) unreg with no floor in tray painted house paint white.
Eventually getting an XB GS Falcon wagon that was pretty rusty but got Rego. It lasted a while until I traded to a mate who owned a wrecking yard in Loganholme against a HZ holden wagon.
It was my baby, I put hotwires with 235/?/14 TA's on it, with UHF and SSB sets, 6 speaker racket maker, spotties. I camped,fished, worked in this beast.I still mis it.
Alas a Boral semi decided I didn't need my beast anymore and took me on @ Ma Ma Creek Rd. Lucky by the time we hit was low speed impact and I walked away.
From there we went to an XE falcon wagon. It was just a hack.
Got a VC commodore wagon and sold the XE. Found the commodore to small inside.
Traded it for another hz which turned out to be clagged.
So went for loan on patrol/cruiser and bought VS commodore. which was written off by Indian Taxi driver.
next car to get around in was VN commodore which was another hack.
Then bought VX bvefroe getting FINLY.
Have also had 2x 1966 era dato utes, 1 neededserious cut and shut pillar and roof job and other was parts. A toyota small truck never got round to rego, and recently made money on a VN commodore and Corolla that I bought cheap and sold.
So very determineed to finish Valiant,Austin and F truck.
