G`day all, if you haven`t been to the Toowoomba swap meet before, I can absolutely reccomend it for finding those hard to get bits. You`ll be amazed what people bring out of sheds etc.

I didn`t check the days mate, I just copied and pasted from the linked website.

Could it be from last year? Don't see why its not on a Saturday/Sunday, instead of Friday/Saturday.

G`day mate, its always been friday saturday. I am guessing that the main day is saturday and by openning friday, it gives the stall holders time to set up and then time to pull down sunday.

Stall holders are definitely not just locals. They come from all over the eastern states for this one and bring tandem trailer/truck loads.

I`ve never missed one in the 15 years that I have lived up here and don`t intend to miss this one. There are cars and parts ranging from american vintage to modern day stuff and motorbikes etc.

I don`t know if you have ever been to the Banyo Swap, but that is just chichenfeed by comparison.

Mad if you miss it.

Old Fella.

any volunteers to keep their eyes open for some vintage chopper parts for me?

Sweet, i was wondering today when the next meet was on. Fingers crossed i can convince the other half to go.

Hey I go every year to this meet..LOL Best swap meet around in SEQ.

 

Last year I scored a NOS twin SU mani to suit a K motor for $10 :) Get some serious bargins.

 

Me and my dad some years are also selling old chev parts there sually get roasted in the sun but so worth it.

 

Cheers
