Hi everyone.
I'm testing the waters here just to see if anyone's interested in this fine* automotive specimen? As the subject mentions, it's a Holden Camira 1600 5 speed wagon seemingly registered new in 1985 quite a while after the last of the JB Camiras were sold. I picked it up 2 years ago for $500 and at the time it had 5 months rego on it but no WOF. Since then, I've driven it all of about 1km (test drive on a mud track of the seller) and then stored it at a mate's workshop in Taupo, where I then discovered some rot in the floor I'd stupidly overseen in my original inspection, due to the excitement (no, really) of finding such an early wagon since it sparked memories of our much loved 1983 MK II Cavalier Estate back in the UK.
So, here's some pictures:
Dreaded rot in driver's foot well:
These photos were taken when I went to look at it (and the rust when it was back at the workshop) but in all honesty, little has changed other than taking the interior to bits to get a full view of the rot on arrival in Taupo. I'd happily take the time to put it all back together if required. Anyway, I know I'm not sitting on a gold mine here or even have a car of much interest to most people but if someone can make use of it, please get in touch. I'm realistic and don't expect to make my money back but would rather that someone could make a use of it rather than just seeing it go the the wreckers. Still, a few dollars to fund my next purchase wouldn't go amiss.
Anyway, don't all reply at once!
