[kalfe]

here is a pic of my fe ute.
i brought it 3 weeks ago from bruce rock
it is rust free and was garaged for the last year before that it was a farm ute.his kids took great pleasure in hand painting it as u can see.
well this weekend i start my mission and ill keep the pics posted as i go along
the bloke i brought it from had a ek sedan fb ute and ford custom line all in his shed as well,it was great
special thanks to gary stevens our pres from wa for tracking the ute down for me

[nicko]

it looks like a good starting point,even has the flames for inspiration of that hot streeter look

[kalfe]

hehehe
yeah the flames were no charge
its has the best bodies ive seen
came with heaps of parts
i cant wait to start

[kalfe]

the bloke i brought it from got a battery out of another car and put it in the fe and it click over and purred
we drove it out of the shed and onto the trailer
