Thread: Where to Look in Perth for a series 1

Mind if I join in, Sounds like a good excuse for a weekend off to come up and kick some skinny landy tyres. Im getting lonely down here! Im also after some bits, mainly a rear spring for an 80''.

John
Sounds like I need to come up and help you with your 80'', its lower to the ground and it wont hurt so much when you climb in. Goodluck this weekend.

Cheers Steve

Rally / enduro motorbikes:
- Posterior dislocation of shoulder - 7/8ths torn rotator cuff, fractured humerous head, Burkhart lesion - surgery, permanent restricted movement.
- Ruptured spleen, several fractured ribs - dodged a bullet with no surgery (good at self healing - practice makes perfect)
- Torn MCL and grade 2 strain of ACL - self healing again, phew.
- Multiple fractures to 7 bones in foot - no surgery (no bones left large enough to operate on!)

Still closer to death on the motorcycle I think, so it depends on your perception of "dangerous".

I think have had more big scares on the pushy although fewer injuries. At least when racing everyones usualy going the same direction.

On my way back from Xmas Creek stopped off in Meeka for the night. Got talking with a local next thing I'm out in the bush looking for lost landys. We found heaps several with good bulkheads unfortunately all are very early series 2. Not a 1 to be found. An old mate looked like RM's dad told me that the 80's were the best mustering vehicle ever. He wished he still had one instead of the 20 or so suzuki's laying around.

Don't be too close minded there Mike - a good S2 bulkhead is a worthy candidate for a project to many people!

Do they fit ? I also found attached to bulkhead already relased from its vehicle a very nice looking throttle or govener control with notched quadrant. Heaps of gearboxes, diffs, wings straight tubs for utes a nice hard top for swb. Dash panels look the same as S1 . because its so dry up that way everhting looked pretty good. There is even a later model V8 wagon with light roll damage.
