I have an old 1953 FE Holden sitting back at my Parents place I am now looking at selling... I did start working on restoring this project back in 1998 but moved a few years later... Never got the chance to finish the old girl off... Now I need it out of there & no longer have the time or money to finish it off... I’m not sure how much it’s worth but I see most of them are going for around $2000.00. So best I start there...
Vehicle is located in Altona Meadows, Vic 3028
Will need to be removed from the site. It doesn’t run as everything has been disconnected.
As im new to this forum im having trouble uploading any picks. Email me for the photo's at this time till this newbe works it out :D
I'm keen to have a look at what you've got - send me a pm of your number and I'll give you a call.

Bit more Info:
This car is 90% there (but most of it is in the boot) ;D
Normal rust spots through the floor. Front bench seat no longer around. All other parts in good condition for its age.. All chrome work still there. It did have a rear end hit so back drivers quarter paned damaged. All other panels appear strait.
I did start removing all the old paint & start rubbing the panels back. As you can see in one of the picks (once i upload them) i have re-coated the vehicle in a special killrust primer to stop further rust getting in.
This vehicle has been stored in a garage out of the weather now for 14 years. It has also been covered that hole time so should be just as good as when i first started working on it...
PM sent.
I have just taken some updated pictures of the FE after its been sitting under covers for 14 years... I have FINALLY worked out how to upload these pictures ;D
The old girl doesn't look too bad for sitting still for 14 years :o..
not sure if I'm asking too much or not enough for the old girl... Any advice would be great ???

thanks for that.. I have had a bit of interest in the vehicle.. Hopefully if all goes well someone may just take it off my hands in the next week or 2.
Cheers,

I haven't had any takers on this car as yet . Thanks for all who has come out & the advise they have given.. I am now looking at possibly stripping the car down for parts if no one want to take the complete car. I will consider $1000.00 for the lot or I will start pulling it apart in the next month or so. If there is any further intrest please let me know ASAP Ph: Mat on 0416 027 593. I do need this car gone before Christmas this year!
Where is the car located ?
Getting lazy Pete :D

Dam parts cars in VIC

Happy to send it up on the back of a truck but you would need to organise the truck & a driver ;D probably cost you more than what the car is worth ::) I'm good at supervising, i could watch him load it :P
Dibs on some of the chrome if you decide to dismantle ;D

Stewy.
THANKS ;D. That part i coudnt work out.. ;)
No worries Mat,
On the reply screen at the far right is a button marked "ebay".
When you click on it it brings up the cursor and [ebay] [ebay]
you need to move the cursor and click inbetween the middle brackets. Then copy the ebay item number and paste it in the middle.
I then always check it with the Preview button before I post.
If I can do this anyone can (even surferboy) :)
Cheers Stewy 8)
I did use this eBay button & put the eBay item number.. I didn't realise it had to go between the brackets :-[
Who said you cant teach an old dog new tricks :o
HI all... this car has now been SOLD ;D
Thanks everyone for looking & the advise along the way...
