ps:the time has come to go fc
They're not as rare as FC Business Sedans, but they're still comparatively uncommon. Have a read of this thread (http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=general;action=display;num=1052295072;start=5) and this one (http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=general;action=display;num=1043141728;start=7).

Well Torque , how much and did you buy it?
well we have thought and thought aobut it, but we are going to have to tell the guy its no deal, we were not looking for another project, but once we saw it we saw that it needed a lot of tlc
the cars still for sale off the original owner in the trading post
if anyones intereseted its around the $2000 mark
Hey Darcy are the bumpers and tail lights painted ?
Looks like a lot of work repairing the bog.
Hope you find the FC that suits.
Good luck with the chase.
Regards
Alex
If it's of any use, my fc is the same colour & interior scheme as this fc would have been originally. Look under Jodstars FC standard wagon in this section. ::)
Jodstar.
hey phantom yes eerything that isnt blue, is silver, the dash, headlight surrounds well tey sould have been body color, the grill etc....
since we saw this car ive gone to look at a fj sedan, had a chassis right through it, fully tubbed out for $1000 but it didnt have any papers
im going to have a look at a grey and cream fc next weekend which belongs to Allen Bennet, hopefully this will be the one for me ;D

Just a quick question. If you have so many projects on the go that you had to sell of a your fbFB/EK sedan. Why are you looking for another project to start? Should you not finish off the others first.
Cheers
Sarge
yes sarge i agree with you
but the thing is for some reason we are looking for another fe or fc to add to our collection. i dont really understand why...it must be beacause we are DISEASED
cheers

Yeah Alex
I hear there is no cure for that Flu but many people have spent thousands of dollars searching for one. Only to find that it's infection spreads. ;)

I hope you are putting this sort of thing on the FB/EK site as well, as I am sure that if some body starts the others will follow and one day that site may be like this one for FE/FC. ALSO could you start a topic on FE/FC and not end up on FB/EK and start resizing any of your pics of FE/FC as I am running out of time scrolling from one side of the screen to the other to see if you have anything to say about FE/FC rather than the usual FB/EK. >:(
Ret I know that this forum has always been a little on the leaniant side but can we draw the line some where. I two have a EK sedan but on this forum its FE/FC forum I try and stay in the boundrys of it. >:(
Cheers
Sarge.
