The reason I don't post the number is I don't want to upset the deal I have going with this wrecker. At the moment he allows me to wonder around the yard. Unheard of now days with all the regulations in place.


Really? I find that every wrecking yard I've been to (quite a few in recent times) has allow me to wonder around their yard. Maybe it's a bit more laid back here in Queensland! :D

If you've got a good thing going on with your local wrecker, best to play by his rules and not upset him. It getting harder to find good wrecker, especially those that have Toranas in their yard. Stay on his good side. :spoton:

Time to come clean...

The place is Dapto pick a part and there contact Number is 0242621134.

Please be aware that they will tell you that they have something and often they don't or it's in poor condition. I haven't been down there in about 2 weeks due to work commitments and time constraints.

I'm more than willing to meet up with members and go down there with you if you would like as it can be tricky to find...
