Hey Davo, It doesn't look like the Cooma wreckers yard, but Geez the first one is nearly 6 feet under. If it is in northern NSW I'll give you a hand to strip what we can off it The 2 PR90's in the shed look complete. Give me a call Cheers, Lewis

ah THIS car!
When this dude got on and was selling it, then was parting it, then was eBaying the bits, then was this, then was that, then threw his hands in the air and said it was all too hard, I was worried that this car would go to God without the leftovers being appropriated!
When I owned by PR90, a grille NEVER came up for sale; not even once, and when this guy had finally thrown in the towel, I PM'ed him and said, "Look man, whatever you do, at least get that grille out because there are people here who would be able to use it; and it would be worth money too".
Never got a message and just assumed that thing had finally sunk into the ground - actually no I thought SIMS had got it, because the car had to be moved because someone was dying or something blah blah blah the story just got more complicated.
Well, if that's the grille off that car, then I'm stoked that it's been rescued from its rainforest graveyard and will hopefully be reunited with an actual restored (or restorable) PR90.
Happy days!
Cheers,
Dave

no wonder he threw his hands in the air and thought it was all too hard, see he has had it confused with a porsche or volkwagon and put the spare in the front???
