This is a picture of Alan Wall's FC Utility. Al has owned this car for many years and over that time it has had various engine and gearbox combos - from Trimatics to 3 speeds to 5 speeds, 202's to 186's to 161's. Al is a mechanic who LOVES to tinker - and a good bloke to boot.
Al and I used to travel to the NSW club runs together around 1986, he was so young and handsome then - nows he's just an old grey haired bastard  ;D
Cheers,
Craig.
P.S Sorry about the crappy image quality but they were taken on a camera phone  :-/
(Picture provided to prove my point about him being an old bastard ;) )
He's going to get me for this................................
This is a picture of some work Al is currently undertaking for a guy who was recommended to him via this forum.
Car is an FC utility that is having HR Front End/EH Diff/Red Motor/5 Speed fitted. Body is very, very good except for some rust at the base of the passenger side B pillar.
Cheers,
Craig.

Just as an added bonus here's some images of Al's son Ben's HR wagon. Nearly finished 350 Chev/ 9 inch conversion. WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!
This is going to be a dumb question I know ,But what are the bonnet scoops out of ?
Aren't they XA GT type? As are the bonnet pins
Craig
Yep , mate sure are , I got the same bonnet clips in the XB (but not the scoops :( )
Norm
Nice nose hairs Al!
Well, I think I can improve on the pic of Al's ute, but as for the pic of Al himself, I ain't that good.
Pic of ute taken at Qld Nats.

Well you people are so cruel !!!!! Hey Craig you forgot to take photes of the FX, FC station wagon, the two door, Ben's ute, the two bikes, the two dogs ect ect.
Cat, lucky you can.t see the ear hairs
Cheers Al
Just thought I would let everybody that cares My HR Is FINALLY REGISTED YEEEHAAAAA
So watch out and ill see you at the next run in it
SeeYa
Good news Ben, but it's still a HR isn't it? Fit a set of those FC headlight rims that your old man has lying around and we might let you bring it along ;)
Seriously, well done Ben, it's a big job anytime - but especially in 2003 - to get a 350 Chev legally registered in an early Holden. Great effort.
Can't wait to go for a ride!!
Cheers,
Craig.
Very impressive Ben!
Can't wait to see it too.
I am ashamed my car still hasnt seen the road.
im following your advice though.. " Just paint it!"
Cheers Ed.
Yeah, nice 1 Ben, looks like it's got the goods.
Cheers, Gary
I drove it to work today and im kicking myself I didnt pull my finger out sooner and put the hard yards in 12 months ago its so smooth and a pleasure to drive exept for the rattle of the exhaust but thats getting fixed early next week and I can hardly wait to build the new motor for it then itll be even more fun to drive
P.S ED mate the first time you drive the FE legally youll ilove it mate its the best feeling in the world driving an old holden that actually goes hard and sounds great keep on pushing yourself mate
See Ya
Ben
Ben
