ok after sleepless nights of picking a colour
i went for the original ocean mist green
i just couldnt decide so the panel beater gave me the original colour,its in getting painted now so ill have a pic up tomorrow
thanks to ace and slim for the parts
many thanks to our wa pres gary who found the ute for me

[Spinner]

Oceanmist is a nice colour, my (daughter's) FE Sedan looks good in it.  Be good to see the ute when painted.

kalfe    sounds like its coming along nicely.
i think youve found something even rarer than a stock fe ute....a panel beater who has his act together!! :o

[kalfe]

thanks trev
yes WARRENS PANEL AND PAINT in KAMBALDA
he is the best
never met a bloke who is more excited about the ute
than me
the panel shop got broken into last night
they rammed the front fences and ute was stolen lucky it wasnt the fe

Kalfe,
I am always envious when i see people with the know how and skills to restore an FE / FC like you are doing "Especially a UTE", I want one !
Well done on the finish i am sure it will bring you many days of happy motoring and pride

[kalfe]

thanks mick
yeah im pretty excited hey
im waiting for new pic to come through
ive always wanted a ute

[Martin]

Good onya, Kalfe.  Nice finish on the paint job.

I'm like Mick - envious of you blokes who tackle these jobs - I shudder when I think about the day I lay the paint stripper on my car.

So what do you reckon - you started this thread on 3 October last year - will you have it up and running inside 12 months?  3rd October's got to be your target.

Martin

[kalfe]

yeah 3rd ocober would be nice
we are starting to put grille in and all outside bits today
im still waiting for a good pic to put on
kalfe

[kalfe]
