Will try and get a few pic's and the chassis number if anybody is interested?
Ive been told to take it away but it's pretty rusty:( Still some good body panels if anyone is looking for something in particular.

The number will be on the front RHS spring hanger. The door bottoms are the important ones to salvage and probably the front panels.

Also of interest would be the anti roll bar and connections on the front axle.

look forward to some pics.

I may be interested in some bits and pieces!

Thanks

Perhaps we should bring lots of the vehicle over in a container. The gear lever mechanism, the steering column, speedo, 2 Bravo could use the engine cover, the helical box, the 6.5" rims.

Well you wouldn't read about it!!!
Went and had a look at the Forward control today First time in about three months
Last time i looked it was complete.[It's been there 15 years] This time someone has been Thru and taken a number of parts off it:mad::mad:
The things that were missing are the main plate off the fire wall which contain the chassis number etc!!
They have also taken the steering wheel ,instrument panel, door handles and front grill:mad:
So at this stage i have no idea on it's age or were it's come from:(

Here's a few pic's anyway As you can see the chassie is pretty rotten!! so no chance of finding a number there!
If there's anything you can see that you may want PM me
and we will go from there.The guy who own's it has said to me a number of times to take it!! Wish i had six months ago:(

Is this crewcab still around????

Just wanted to record 2 2A FCs that NO longer exist (wrecked).
28700139a & 30100048b. One of these had a 186, autotrans with broken TFcase input shaft, broken rear diff & body panels mostly made out of aluminium road signs, like "road narrows" etc.

Thanks Ian.
I'd be interested in a photo of the ADF one. I saw one of these up at Dookie last year.

This pic was given to me a while ago - in a saw-mill somewhere near Narrabri in the 1990's.

(Addit: If this were a Hollywood movie, I would be able to get the computer to pan around the other side and zoom to read the chassis number!)

The 2nd S2B I have came without body panels, as the PO wanted to keep a set of spares for his project. I managed to buy a set off eBay to complete my vehicle - so that is a vehicle that must have gone to the crusher.

Although the eBay vendor had just sold another complete S2B vehicle to someone in Bigga in NSW. Someone who has an 80" and a lightweight - the REMLR guys may know him.

Do you still have the picture of the one in the sawmill near Narrabri?
