Did you pick up an 808 ECU? There was a bloke with about 10 x refurbished ones for $15 each.

Saw that seller but was a little wary of them. I suppose for 15 bucks you take your chance and either chuck them or fix them and you're still well ahead. I've still got the other two 808's (one I know is a good one that will be used to kick it all off) and the other that will be tested and probably end-up as a spare if it works, plus the VS one. Have been in contact with Kalmaker and have sent the wiring harness to them and will also get the speed sensor and programming (still working that bit out with them) from them. The heads I'll probably get looked at and spruced-up in the next month or two time permitting.

Sorry, didn't even realise you were there as I was pretty well head down looking at/for stuff and not the people around me.

Good to see you there Byron.... Yeah it was a bit of a flop..... Picked up a hk steering wheel no cracks and will clean up well, front seat trim for a HG Monaro in orange houndstooth including the back covers in great condition.... The rest was just small bits and pieces...

Overall a bit of a flop.... I remember even 5 years ago you had to take some manuals with you so you could reference the nos parts to confirm some of the not so common bits and pieces... Today I don't think I saw a nos Holden part.... Natta

I reckon there was more at the AHD and the last Morrisett swapmeets. Hopefully those who go tomorrow will do better! Sounds like you got a few good bits, nice work.

The bloke that had them seemed OK, he was way over at the back, near to the vehicle entrance, almost the last one on the left . I almost bought a pair of 291 Fuellies off him, they were 2.02" valves too so probably Z28. They were $200 but I didn't want to take the risk, I offered $150 but no go.

Yes, good to see you and Nick Al. There was some good stuff around but way too dear, like $280 for a left hand HQ-HX coupe or LX hatch seat mechanism. Or $185 for a NOS WB Stato headlight lens. Those are Ebay prices.
