It is with much sadness to report the "death" of another UZZ32. This one has been found dumped and abandoned in Sydney. For anyone who keeps records of these misfortunes the plate reads as follows,
Model - E-UZZ32 - ACPZK
Engine - 1UZFE 3968cc
Frame No - UZZ32-0001409
Colour - 051 Trim - LA05
Trans/Axle - AE341E A01A
Plant/Built - A22
The poor thing has been semi stripped. I have been asked by the owners of the property where the car is located to see if anyone wants her. The deal is this....it's yours for free if you remove it. I have contacted the police who say it has not been stolen. Police would not elaborate on the ownership other than to say it was last registered to a company.
The car has been sitting in its current location for nearly 4 months. If anyone wants this car please message me. I will not divulge the location to anyone as the property owners do not want 27 morons turning up with their tools and destroying the place. I am not out to make a quick buck from this (although some parts may have fallen into my hands).

Thanks Peter. It's been a tough week. First it was the tragic death of Heath Ledger and then this. I didn't think I could cope. But I'm a battler.
To be honest I just don't want people to think I'm being opportunistic in any way. This was not my car and I don't want money for what's left of it.
Better give a rundown of what I know has already been pilfered. The following are gone,
EMV
headlights
driver's side mirror
driver's side indicator light
airbox
rear spoiler
centre console including height control switch and TRC switch
and probably more.
Rear seat is in excellent condition as is passenger seat. Driver's seat should be taken down to the back paddock and shot. I have no idea if engine starts. |

So it still has wheels and suspension? At least it could be put on a trailer then, and the struts may be useful to someone, even if just for rebuilding.

Saw the reply Iain, I am depressed now, so what's left on it now, I guess it'sa wrecker's delight now, as opposed to possible track car.

Unless you can find a near vertical track it is just about a wreckers delight I'm afraid Brian. I don't think it was vandals because what has been taken has for the most part been cleanly removed. They seemed to know what they wanted.

Then it's not for me, but if someone needs wheels for it (heaven help the mongrels that steal the wheels) I have a set that can be borrowed or bought for it, they are TT wheels, but will fit.
BTW, what tread is left on the current tires that thing has?

Wheels are now gone...however, I have put 2 stock 16's and 2 space savers on it. I will need these wheels returned after the car is removed.

Sorry Daniel. Someone is coming to take the car lock, stock so I don't want want to take anything else off it. I will let them know that you're interested in the high beams and then try to work something out. They look ok but they're the old plastic ones. |

Hi Iain, could you let them know that I'm interested in the accumulators? I have a '32 sitting here that really needs a set of replacement ones.
Very interested. |

And the lousy bastards that took the engine ECU actually couldn't even be bothered pulling the plugs but chopped the entire loom making the rest of the engine loom absolutely useless.
Who ever got into this car must have tried to rip things out with their bare hands. Imagine trying to remove door trim timbers and centre vents without any tools. They just smashed everything. |

I think most of that disappeared Sunday night with the rear seat Rob. I still hope there is plenty in there you can use. Sure hope it was worth your time coming up mate. |

Surprised me too Glen. Front plate disappeared last Thursday. Rear survived. And it was dumped in Marrickville which doesn't have the best reputation. By the way....there is another Soarer abandoned just around the corner. I might be sitting on a parts goldmine here. If only I had the space. |

No problem Lew. This one is a 1995 JZZ31. Front left is smashed. Looks clean inside. Looked at it 3 days ago. I will go and take some pics tomorrow for you Lew. I will also check with the local constabulary and council about it first. Looks like it was a P-plater who has had an accident and no insurance or money to take it away (i'm guessing). No need for a spotters fee but there is one or two things I want off it. |

As far as I am concerned you are a legend Iain. I mean most people I know would keep the parts and sell them on the forum to make money. For that reason I salute you buddy.

Thanks for the kind words Aka and Daniel. I just like seeing people in the Soarer community looking after each other. I know there are a lot of Soarer owners/lovers who don't have the big bucks to spend on their cars. So I hope I can help these people out wherever possible. I guess that is what this forum is all about. I don't have the technical/mechanical knowledge to help most people so I do what I can.
Brian, thanks for the offer and I may very well take you up on it.
Lew, I'm trying to get those pics for you today but I'm really snowed under at work. Who else thinks their boss is a moron |

Hey Iain, I've been trying to get in touch with you via multiple PM's here on SC since I got back to Melbourne.
I don't have an email address for you and my PM's don't appear to be getting through, must be an issue with my settings here on SC.
