FC Ute

Yes slow for all the contract and supply company's. Our blokes are busy though doing all the work we probably should have in the first place. I know just at our plant we have lost over $20million out of our maintenance budget and they have increased the production so in the end the machines wear out faster but we have less money to spend ont the repairs.
Hopefully within the next 6-8 months things will settle down.
;D

Id say it quiet till the election...

Thats the first one i looked at it aint the car in the pic  :-X

Looked at mine on the weekend isnt to bad isnt what was said either.
No rust needs a few things tidying up tho.
Ridiculous rainfall stopped me from bringing it home its in the truck drivers shed.

Huh???

There are two different utes here Rick. He looked at the one in Sydney then bought the one up North.

[FCRB26]

Sorry The fe ute on ebay doesnt look that good up close in my opinion very clean no rust but i didnt think it was worth the money. but thats my thoughts.

I bought the one from QLD Which after getting here is about the same if not a little better in my opinion.

I though thats what u meant.It was not as good as the pics made it out to be
Another reason why you look before you buy hey

[FCRB26]

Well i picked up the ute and took it up to the smash shop to get polished i was hoping it came up as good as the  FE sedan i bought   :P

We pulled the floor up and took the rear timber floor cover out lots of parts lots of fish oil but no rust .
Some mint doors some not so mint
tons of starters
generators winders, oil filters for grey, and a few L series blocks and a lot of other parts most of the spare chrome is pitted and not very useable.

with the way work is i dont know weather to hang of till i get the sedan done or bite the bullet and do it to.
I was made an offer to full strip down and respray today for a heap of waterjet cutting.
I have a disc front end , hot 186 never started, Auto with stally, HR diff, simmons, all door rubbers, so undecided what to do????

Ill see what a polish does but id say ill do the whole rebuild i really like the new Astra dark green i really dont go much on red motors but i have one with new extractors, and holley, roller rockers knife edged crank,electronic ign,alloy rocker, new cain manifold all sitting in the loft never used....

decisions decisions...

[JB]

Yeah our hearts bleed with all of those tough decisions  ;D ;D

How many cars is that now? Very jealous!!!

Does that mean I have to move it to project cars?

As Ben Stiller from Starsky and Hutch said " Do it, do it"

Does that mean I have to move it to project cars?

JB

Is there a 'haven't started yet' section created?

[FCRB26]

leave it here for the moment?
too many projects

[CraigFC]
