Gday Billy

If you talking about my FC there must be a twin out there!!

Mine isn't registered yet so hasn't left the Sunny Coast

Nice to know there out there on the road :)

Must be a twin could have sworn it was the same car the wife even said they had just bought it a few weeks ago.

Did you get any pictures of the FC??

Is the colour scheme the same???

Tim

[Billy Blackarrow]

No ... I didn't get pic's but it looked  similar obviously not yours it was very close. I wish I had now.

Another reason I want to get to Toowoomba Nationals to see other members rides and rebuild style.

Is the blue/green an original colour???

I have used the FC plate ID and it says my FC Wagon was grey???

Tim

Yes unfortunately if you were hoping it was original, it's not.
The wagon's original colour was Ascot grey and Wangara grey

Thanks Ken

Yes grey on grey,,,

Is the blue / green colour scheme used in the FC range ??

Interesting that Billy found my twin the other day painted the same!!!

I think Billy was talking about Pete's wagon



Your original two tone Wangarra Grey insert with Ascot Grey body and roof would have looked a lot like Fred and Candy's wagon.



There are blues and greens in the FC colour range but certainly nothing as bright as what you have.

Could have been but not sure was Pete's at the Kurri Kurri  festival  ;D

Tim ,Sorry I won't be there [Toowoomba] . I am fairly busy chasing some vintage parts and part No.s . [ broke my 30year old hip replacement and am trying to keep what original parts I have left ] . Why can't people realize , it always appears smarter to admit you just don't know than to get it wrong , or get angry to cover your lack of knowledge . May be able to help you with some original parts [or how to get back there ] sometimes there is a good compromise . Example is what I was talking about with the coffee pot and stick . I have a complete stock set here with the s/steel plug in the knob , but like I said if that's FB_EK then the end of the shifter will have to be altered . Anyway if you need info , I wont be going far for awhile .Cheers Haydn

Cheers Hayden,

I defiantly need to get out and see / talk with other FC owners in person.

Best way learn

Tim, Toowoomba is where you need to be. Nationals are only held once every two years with more cars to look at than you can imagine and more people to talk to than you can have conversations.  ;D
There will be owner builders their who have heaps of experience and have attended many National events.
I can't recommend highly enough how valuable the experience will be.

Yes , when looking for mechanical solutions I will visit many forums and google gets a comprehensive workout and my many contacts will get the third degree . In a lot of cases I will ask questions that I know the answer to , just to validate my source [yes I am annoying ] what I am trying to say is get all the information you can before making changes . You may not be as far as you think from the combination that suits you . Haydn

I have been through this experience before, 4 years ago i said to the wife lets get a dualcab 4x4 with a camper trailer,,,nope she says she wants a Kombi
I had never owned or driven a Kombi before, so I joined all the forums and thought I could do this, so I bought a kombi off ebay

[Airfireman]

3 years and 25k later this was the end result..

[Airfireman]

Im so super happy I bought an FC that didn't need to be reborn....hahhahahahha

The was a long 3 years but it has all paid off now and time 4 fun



Tim

I need Holden rims and hubcaps to fit to trailer when we go camping with the FC
