Default Bushfire - racecars, classics and engines destroyed

I was having a cleanout over the weekend and came across some photos that brought back horrible memories of a bushfire that blew through a friend's property, leaving a trail of destruction. It's almost 15 years ago to the day, but I can still remember the absolute carnage as our mates got together the following day to help with the cleanup and to see what we'd all lost. Thankfully, the family were all safe, but here's some of the damage...

My newly built 13:1 compression 472 cube big block and race spec glide, dropped off to his shed the previous day



Tubbed LH Torana pro-street car with a big block Chev





Big dollar Pontiac Pro Stock racecar under construction



55 Chev - with the bodywork distorted around the axle stand at the back of the car



Another 55 Chev



68 Impala



Holden H? Ute



2 door LJ Torana with an RB30 Nissan Turbo, due to be registered the following week



Fair to say, everyone there had seen better days.
