Went down to Jolly's U-Pull-It yesterday, first time since the reno. I was quite impressed. Very nice looking inside office area, cabinets and stuff. The $1 entry fee is pretty standard now.
The yard is still a mess, but no real suprises. I counted only five cameras though... 3 in the car park, 1 in the office and only 1 in the yard? Maybe I missed some. Wasn't planning on "borrowing" anything anyway. Scored an almost new radiator out of a camry for $60, about 1/5 the price of a new one, so was happy about that. But most interesting was they had 2 sets of EL thermos there, $120 each. They looked genuine. I'm gonna go down next week and grab one set, my budget was stretched yesterday. Also gonna get the EL cam and rocker gear that I saw... assuming it's still in the car.

That's a good price for EL thermos.
Any decent late model Falcons there worth mentioning? Any EB/ED Fairmonts with interior?

Pick-a-part out at Kilsyth now charges $1 entry, which I think is a bit of a jib if you don't leave with anything. And they had nothing EF-onwards!
But the place just down the main road (Falcon spares Parts or something) is the place to go for EF-onwards.

Luke: Not that i noticed, but i wasn't looking at interiors. Or EB/Ds for that matter. I'm back on Wednesday, I'll take a look.
EF Machine: I think you mean Just Falcons, one of the best wreckers in Melbourne, IMHO. The guys really know their stuff. Apart from dedicated Ford wreckers, JR's is easily the best self-serve wrecker for Falcon bits, at least the ones I've been to. I don't mind paying $1, cause it's rare that I don't come out with something. Some of the other large wreckers annoy me when I pay to enter, cause a lot of the time they have junk. |
