Very straight... I couldn't see any rust either.
He's almost up to where I am!
There's heaps of V6Conversions goodies in there and looks VR components to me.
He has a free wilsonia gauge if anyone wants it (hahahahaha)

Everything is new never used!! :) :) :)
Great score, looks like all the hard work has been done with the V6, the numbers say it was the 2519th FC manufactured in Adelaide and has fall red & black trim and is painted in (high gloss) black.
Regards Jim
Ouch @nothappyjan.... I still laughed though

Thanks for the info Jim :)
Nice,same paint and trim as mine.Good luck with the tidy up then enjoy!Jamie.
Cheers Jamie. Loving the black :)!!
Welcome Scoops and congratulations on the score it has taken me quite a long time to get to that point as one of the guys said looks like all the hard work is done.

I was talking about rare colour combos on another thread. Whilst black 225's aren't especially rare (I have about 25 listed) your 2 are the only 2 FC's in black that were made at Adelaide. Scoops is the early one with 627 trim code and Jamie's is a late one with the 846 trim code. Both 627 and 846 are Fall red and black. So in there own little way both cars are very unique code wise.
Isn't it amazing what absolute trivia of no use to anyone I can pull out of this database ::) :P
Ken
Hey Ken,whilst you may think it is of no use it is still very interesting.Well is to me at least.I commend you on your ongoing effort to collate these details.Cheers,Jamie
Cheers Neil and awesome info there Ken!!
All clean now and tucked away. Hopefully get the V8 donor car next week.

I'm surprised it passed inspection without any strengthening, it was registered when you got it ?
No Mate, She was an unfinished project.

Where's the hole in the guards for the exhaust?😉
Might be getting the exhaust from the same place as Pete!
Jim
I just dropped the torana off to get the exhaust re done at petes today.
Newcastle exhaust is 1 min from your work.
Yeh Pete, just cost wise its 680 odd for through guards thinking lots more than that custom made block huggers...
Trying to do best build I can to my budget.

I used to be like that... Kinda went out the window 😢
Build your own headers ;)
Takes a while. .. but you get what you want ..
I'm with you NES.
BLOCK HUGGERS are the best option. ;)
Have a look at Pete's site FC Ute (ifnot already) you can see how well the system fits. Cost is a big factor, but if you can stretch it, this would be the way to go.
Regards Jim
Unreal progress over the last week mate!!! :D
No idea what your talking about Huh
