Yep!!!

I saw some of the cars recovered from the Wahine disater about a year later all stacked on the wharf in Evans Bay about 1969/70. VW's, Station wagons etc. All rusted out, dented, upholsetry covered in weed. Find it hard to believe anything would get reused? There are pics in the Wahine Museum in Wgton.

typical coaster...... no doubt that will turn up when he takes it for its next warrant and it fails due to surface rust on the chassis ....normally they bring them in and dont understand why it failed and when we get them on the hoist not only are they rusty but also caked in clay because they dont know how or can be bothered cleaning them underneath......too much money too little common sense
