Well been off here for a bit and my ol fc is in hiding in dry storage. Just bought my self a fe standard sedan which im pretty excited about. Pick it up in a few weeks. It needs a fair bit of work but im looking forward to it. Gotta sell an ek if anyones keen its in Ballarat vic. I got pics of the fe but as usual i dont know how to post em............... :P

Looks good, Tayz...
What are your plans for it?
My very first FE/FC (and mind you i have had a few since) was a business sedan and it was in about the same condition as this, same colour too. I only paid $75 for it and that was 24 years ago. I think i still have parts from that car that get used. It's a pity that back then i didn't realise more about which parts to keep and which to throw out.

thx
Business Sedan is almost identical to the Standard Sedan, but has a handful of additional features, designed for vehicles like taxis, travelling salesmen etc. Taxi rail is standard equipment, the dome-light switch is on the driver's side B pillar, equipped with heavy duty battery... picture tells a thousand words:

The Kingswood between the Belmont and Premier models, pretty much.

RET
Flappers are white wall tyre inserts - they go between the rim and the tyre and "flap" a little while you drive. OK on crossply tyres but not so good on modern radials.
