green machine

Great news everyone. Kermit has been found. A few bruises from some crap driving on the part of the thief but all there and fixable. Thanks for all the kind words and support. The boys in blue found it in a shopping center car park not far from where it was taken. So the next time you get pulled over don't diss the cops too much they can do good things for you too. Not much fuel left so it was taken for a decent drive. Now it's time for a new door lock ignition switch and an alarm to make it that bit harder for them next time. Frank. :dance:

I don't know what part of the world you are in, but if you are near Melbourne, The Dashboard Doctor in Sydney Road Coburg did a great job on my daughters car and it was a lot less than $400. I don't think they are on the web but you could give them a call to see if they can help you out. Regards, Frank.

Help, Last Thursday the 20th of November this car was stolen from Northcote in Melbourne. It had been in the family for at least 20 years and needed some serious work to get it back to life. There were rust holes as big as your fist in the roof. It had a vinyl roof originally. I love restoring old things and my daughter needed a car. We both worked on it, well I did most of it but she made the new roof lining and helped lots putting the engine and gearbox back in after the respray. Anyway the details. It's a Kermit green KE 30 4 door sedan. Interior fully restored no cracks in the crash pad seats custom grey cloth. Tinted windows. Four speaker stereo with 6 x 9s on the rear parcel shelf and you guessed it green trim on the peaker grills. Not quite as clean as the photo now, there are two small cracks in the paint work on the drivers side rear quarter. She got hit on that side not long after the car was put on the road and the repair was not as good as it could have been. :dance: Missing the passenger side front eyebrow trim and a small piece of grill on that side due to another bump. All panels straight. Doors have central locking. I am prepaired to pay a $500 reward for information leading to getting the car back or at least if it has been stripped for parts identifying the thief or fence so that they can be prosecuted. If you buy a part that could have come off the car, send me a detailed description so that I can confirm that it came off the car. If it realy did come off it I will pay you the price that you payed for it plus give you the $500 reward so long as you can name the person you bought it from. I will hand the part over to the police so that they can prosecute the mongrel and hopefully make the world a little safer for corolla owners. Keep your eyes open. Regards, Frank.
