alrighty fellas the FE is in our shed at tailem bend and my goodness that was an ordeal the wrecker said yer ill put some wheels on it they wernt wheels they were rims with abit of crusty rubber attached and made it impossible to move as we had to use the tow rope and tie the car to the shed and drive the trailer out from under it after and hour we got the car of the trailer now the fun begins heres the pics:








more to come in the following weeks!!!

Stewy

Thats a really nice shed , you could put lots of Holdens in there!
Now the fun Begins (glad the shed was strong enough, we know the front end of an FE is)
Good luck and cheers Jeff.

well guys ive just spend some more money on tyres i got kuhomos or something like that and they have white walls on them and i bought a car battery and some terminal clamps cos my goal is to get it running and possibly drivable b4 the resto to get an idea on what needs doing ive got high hopes for the motor and iam planing on trying to get it to turn over tonight so fingers crossed!! but because of the heat i havent been going to tailem bend to do any work on the car till night time cos evan at night the shed temp doesnt get lower than about 25 degress and of course i dont live in tailem bend so its an hours drive to get up there to do work on it so work might go abit slower than id like but it will get there!!

HAMFIST

cleaned up my rims and had the new kuhmos put on they now look amazing!!!



ENJOY!!!!
