Very nice!  I dream of finding stuff like that! In fact I, spend an awful lot of time driving down back roads and so on hoping to see an LJ in a farmers shed. Those look great, even the rust on that LJ50 isn't to bad, just looks like a lot of surface rust.  Might be some scary stuff hiding under that carpet though. Is it still a 2 stroke? That LJ80v looks a bit far gone though, poor hardtop. Is that last Sierra (the beige one) a 1 litre? It looks quite good! I've been meaning to go car hunting in the wheat belt for ages now, I think I'l be going sometime next week! You certainly found the mother load!

I'm going back down there in two weeks to pick up three mini's I brought plus a heap of parts. what do you think the zook's are worth I'm sure she will sell them to me ,she want's to clean up the farm before she sell's it . I never seen any nasty hole's in the zook's just surface rust

If she wants to 'clean up' tell her you are doing her a favour by removing them

I found a LJ 50 (i think) down at a house in Mylup beach. It has "ENJO" written on the side of it. Looks pretty clean and it must be driven a fair bit, cus it a company car
