Me too, I'll try and get an update happening between other activities in the yard...AlpineRaven wrote:any updates? Surely someone has been to the wrecker lately! Its annoying when this thread is dead quiet!

I think we might need to start a new thread for Australia wide for "hard to get" parts or rarer parts ie. 1970s & early 80s Subarus if someone is looking for specific part!El_Freddo wrote:Not a worry, I got a chuckle out of it. Good to hear you've got access to those older vehicles up there - these are becoming harder to find in the yards these days

) radiator gone too, engine possibly gone now, it was a very clean unit. Looks like you had fun there! Didn't know it was 50% over the weekend but didn't need anything apart going to try source another EA gearboxEl_Freddo wrote:Well, I had fun on saturday!
Got to PAP Campellfield and Kilsyth. Didn't get to Centre rd on time - they were closed at 4pm! Couldn't believe it and was quite annoyed, its my favourite yard and I had a mate with me that had never been before, I want to see him wet his pants cos its heap better than anything in benders. We spent too much time at PAP I think - it was a 50% off weekend!!! I've never seen any deals like this before, and kilsyth had a full carpark. Crazy.
What I did see:
Campbellfield:
white L series - 18x,xxxkm. Missing gearbox (you can guess where that is now
silver L series, didn't pay much attention to this, but it had 280,xxx or 3xx,xxxkm on the clock. I do know its missing its rear tail gate struts.
silver Liberty sw, nudging 400,000km. Various engine bits missing, same for interior. Has airbag suspension that appears to be complete.
Kilsyth:
Various L's there. A few roo bars to be had, one looked pretty good, the other's paint looked a little shabby.
One badly rusted MY 4wd wagon - about an 82 or 83 from memory, single headlight unit.
One Liberty 2wd sedan, now missing engine and Y pipe
That was about it. A good day had and a lot of money saved!
And before I forget, here's a link to Pick-a-Part - this page shows the specials and you can look up models of vehicles through a rough guide of whats in the yard. Its pretty accurate from my expeiences. I'll edit the first post to include this link.

Kilsyth would be the best place out of the two pick a part joints. I found out that Centre Rd close at 4 on a sundayAlpineRaven wrote:Looks like you had fun there! Didn't know it was 50% over the weekend but didn't need anything apart going to try source another EA gearbox
Hence why we missed them. They were both there today - they were probabily in the holding yard when they were posted online... That sherpa looks like its in good shape body wise - only two rust problems I found. Other than that its a pretty neat unit.AlpineRaven wrote:Pick-a-part isn't matching between the yard - online's stock - its not updated? (because i was at PAP Campbellfield today and only had red l series sedan, didn't see Liberty or Sherpa.
I also found out that a subaru gearbox comes under the front wheel drive gearbox category ($150) Tex, would you be able to get a price on an inlet manifold and if dad was happy with it would you be willing to post it down to us?tex wrote:I know its not victoria let alone melbourne But I found the jackpot in canberra they have six sherpas at one place and in another one that it looks like their going to wreck!
