Chris Simpson. Yea I am A perth Ozdatter we seem to be a dying breed though. Wojee sold his FJ1600 to Ryan, Ryan sold his to Chris T, My mate Greg sold his 1st one to Wojee which he sold to some one else who I bought it off I did a whole lot to improve it but I found the SSS so I sold it to some bloke called Eric who then did a whole lot more work to it and it was then stolen and then burnt in the pines. Gregs second 1600 was sold to his brother so he could buy a 180sx, Wojee also built a Sil80 so he went. It seems to be a little hard to keep track of who owns what 1600 these days and which ones are left as the BUTCHER OF BENTLEY seems to get all the good 1600's to strip down. Chris T's brother bought a commodore I think when he got the yellow sticker on the burgandy 1600 that chris was trying to sell a while ago. I think Ryans brother still has the Blue Z18/20 turbo one but I have never met him. Bret henderson still has his I think. There is a bloke who works for marlows balcatta that has a nice gunmetal gray one. His mate has a bunky and a auto one I sold him. Dirk from AGI has a nice collection including his coupe and the custom FJ20det ute. But none of them are on the ozdat list. I do know of a couple of others that don't have internet access at the moment butt they have 1200 coupes. Any how I recon we should try to get a register going so we know what is going on. Later. Rick White.
