well,, every weekend i`ve been trying to take loads & loads of stuff out of dads sheds
& it`s a very slow process, hand picking all the goodies, bit by bit, , sifting through the crap to find the gold

there`s still plenty of gold but rumaging through it all with torch & boxes, loading stuff into utes & trailers & trucks & vitara & kombi uts & daihatsu charade etc has taken it`s toll

it will be on-going for a few more months yet i`m sure

but i thought i`d just give you lot a sneak peak at what`s involved

so here`s just about a 1/4 of whats there

well,,, to be honest,,, that`s not even anywhere near a 1/4 of it,,, i`ve given up with the pics cause there`s simply not enough time today... i`m back to get more loads of parts onto the truck :-(

I reckon i`ll have a "Come & take it day" soon :-)

before the metal skip bins come :-)

Mate I did a Job like that I filled 10 30 foot long 10 foot high and about the same wide metal bins with Holden valiant and other car parts and other scrap steel on 5 acres it took me by myself 4 weeks to clean the steel off the property and going 10 hours a day I got about $1500 for each bin when the price of steel was good

I know the feeling it was like that just shelves and shelves of parts and other stuff

So many of us would love to bring a trailer and help out with that lot Matt. Like you said, finding the gold amongst it is the challenge.

Wow Matt, lots of work. Looks like you have enough stock to do another batch of light flywheels. I'll have one when they're in stock please.

Lovely collection, we spent months going through my Dads sheds after he passed on.

Would there be any very early front seat frames with the posts on rear in all that treasure?

One of those photos appears to look like a retaining wall built from dead engine blocks.
Lots of work there Matt, take care of your back as much as possible.
