One owner. Left it as it was (near enough) in the early 80's in his dad's front yard.
Heaps of compression. On the "To do list."

Jeepers I feel some how UN AUSTRALIAN not to have gotten anything from hard rubbish :(;)
But I did buy a kids wooden play gym the other week for a wholeeeeee $2.50 - which has now become my sand blasting cupboard. Don't think we have hard rubbish anymore here? something about it being dangerous or some "rubbish":D:D

[Cruisecontrol]

I don't mind the odd score from a curbside clean-up (my comp sits on a beaut desk circa 1930 which was left out on the nature strip), but I've got too much pride to go digging around in garbage bins like a filthy freegan.

[Docktor]

interesting.............. no picture supplied..........

[latheboy]

I got it for you Doc

Fifteen chairs, 2 BBQs, a good VCR... Man I love hard garbage.

my TV, numerous functioning bicycles, hills hoist washing line, 7 foot high lockable (with key) steel workshop cupboard. Best one was the steel cupboard, me and my dad were walking home saw this(with the key in the door) picked it up (FUCKING HEAVY) and walked a kilometre home. Anyone that saw must have laughed their arses off:)

[God]

From all the TVs in thrown out in the hard garbage in Ferntree Gully this week, I'd say Krazy Kev's bonus cheques have done a great deal in secury jobs in Chinese plasma TV factories...

Yes, I'm still pissed that on the day everyone else got Kev's cheques he sent me a tax bill based on what he thinks I might owe next year. Prick!

[davio]

lathe mate ,hang on to those whithefucks theyre gettin very hard to come by, we got an old pommie boat motor uses em and it took us ages to get a minimum set together

[LKC73]

Well I had nothing to add to this thread until today fellas! I got a complete 1982 Kawasaki Z250 C. It needs some TLC but plans are to build it into a cafe racer style bike. Couldnt beleave it when I picked it up, I was just thinking how Ive found nothing good like you lot! (It still maybe the case) LOL
I even spoke to the fella tossing it and he said it was just taking room up in he's garage, so it is now home in mine!

[BANDITROD]

cheers for that ivan that is saved and i could prob organise a truck if we need one we can just pretend that we are picking up the hard rubbinsh and then take what we want

mmmm couple hundred worth in scrap aluminium


a couple of times

[336LJ]

Iv stumbled upon a GS500 frame from the head stem back (hopefully pick it up tomoro)and a 250 Honda something or rather I can't identify.. (need the bottom end for my younger bro's bike )

whats an frame like that worth, Can't really tell if its majorly bent or not, looks okay. and I also dunno if its stolen/ written off. I need someone to help me lift it in the ute n its mine.

You can still do an online REVs check, look for the compliance plate on the head stock also the chassis number should be stamped on that area also. As for worth, depending on age, how straight it is, could fetch a couple hundered if sold by a wrecker.
