If you want any more info, let me know and I'll have a dig around for the papers.

Missed this post Corran. Sorry. Did you chase the old lady down for details ? The car being painted is the good turbo wagon I'd been driving. The parts wagon is starting to look very secondhand at the moment with quite a few bits robbed off it.

It'd be great if you could come up with some more details for us Grudgee. I have it listed as a turbo but was it an original one ? I've never included it on the list as I could never confirm it was an actual A9Y. It'll only be the third blue turbo wagon we've come across if you can confirm. Haven't heard anything about it since 2003 by the way and haven't seen it around locally. Quote: Originally Posted by VP_Wagon Ok finally had time to get some pics: Thanks VP. Much appreciated. I've added her to the list. If you need any help with the rebuild just let us know. Totals updated as of today on the first page. Still waiting on confirmation of another two turbo's that I haven't added. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks SIroller. I managed to get a look at it before it was taken down but didn't save the pics. Looks like a new one to me, ie it has the worst paint of any I've seen. A resprayed black one popped up on Carsales this morning but I doubt it's the real deal. He mentioned a blue interior which would make it a mock up. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I didn't. The Ebay listing was gone when I went back for a second look. Did anyone print it out before it vanished ?
