Gidday all,Just giving you all a look at my starting point for the next phase of my life. Kids nearly out on their own.
Just a little background on where it all started. In 1987 purchased the FC Special for $200 in Toowoomba QLD. Original colour two tone green (Someone pleease advise me of the correct name of the colours). Drove it back home (300 meters down the road) and started to strip in down. Being in the RAAF at the time there was only a small garden shed and a carport available in the married quarter provided. All parts removed and body sandblasted and returned to home. Then the tedious but fulfilling task of putting it all back together with the new colour being a Toyota White (Eeeeek). This time around all was standard except for the imitation dragways fitted plus a floor shift. After being posted to Sydney in 1991 I then embarked on fitting a red motor, Aussie 4 speed, HR diff., plus all the required compliance accessories i.e. HR front etc. Also redid the engine bay to hide wiring and fit brake booster, EH column and KB laser bucket seats. In 1999 returned to Toowoomba and the car has basically sat in the shed since. Now looking to upgrade again to a V8 from a VN Commodore plus all the required drivetrain. So now the journey begins.
Can someone explain to me the gauge setup I have and also where I can get all the writing redone i.e. OIL, TEMP, GEN. Here are as few photos of how it is now. The engine bay leaves an little to be desired so don't be too tough.
Cheers Craig
