oops.. u already have a 186...

get a certificate...

in the shed

gree

yeah man,

i'd recommend getting that certificate and take it as an opportunity to do everything you want to do to the ute properly rather than cut corners and then wish you hadn't later.

keep it off the road a bit longer and do things the way you planned. hopefully you'll have the car for many years and it will be worth the trouble in the long run. and you'll be more satisfied driving the car you always wanted.

i had a 161 in my eh ute, and i wouldn't recommend it if you want to do a lot of driving, or carrying loads, or are used to driving with more power. it was ok on the flat but man it sure fell away on those big hills, especially carrying a full load. the 202 in the fc now pulls along real nice. stick with the 186 since its there already.

just an opinion for what its worth. hope you work everything out...

$800 sounds pretty much like the going rate to me for the Melton guy - try Bob Evans in Geelong, he is maybe more resonable.

In the big picture when you consider restoring an FE/FC $800 is one of the smaller numbers u will need to fork out.
