well there is was, driving on the pacific, on my way into brisbane when i found my old 1986 Vortex being driven by a Japanese bloke!!

My old vortex i sent to the wreckers because the head had corroded and was unusable. I expected never to see this car again!

It's nice to see them staying on the road, whatever it takes.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

You did that to a Vortex coz of a corroded head??

Wouldn't be the first wrecker to sell on a perfectly good car. The widely famed Flynns of Cooma have a little sales yard at the entry to acres of cars.

My GLTA was someone elses nightmare, sat in a wrecking yard over a year, with bits being sold off it, before I rescued it from further assault by the fork lift shifting method.

Turned out I knew a mechanic who had been given the job of resurrecting it for a sale yard. He hated the thing coz new radiator and chemiweld would not fix it

I've clocked up another 100,000km on it after a few new bits added
