;)Drove up to marks(minifcvan)on saturday to pic up the fc he had for sale,it was a long drive,left at 6am got home at about 9.45pm,but well worth it as you can see from the pics ,as she will come up a treat i think,this ones going to be a bit more of a custom than my fe,and a daily driver,the plan is to get it ready for reg,once thats done i can customize to my hearts desire,here are some pics of her so far!! on the way home to hoppers (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y177/fe_hotrod/new%20fc/DSC00024.jpg)

Congrats on the new car.

Very nice Jamie, thats a good deal....good to hear that the trip went well.....and I hear not too much work for rego either...
A little birdy told me that you introduced the new car to the FE Ute in the yard in the best possible way ;) ::)
Nick
;)thats right nick now the fc is a bit lonely in a yard with 2 fe,s some more good news is that i got the fc purring like a cat and moving under its own steam!!!im exited!!! ;)
Looking good Jamie , that will keep you in the garage for a while, might not see you on the chat for a while.
Cheers Bogan
Would the child of that threesome between two FEs and an FC be a little F .... B....? ;D ::)
Crikey Jamie :o, I too saw that your new FC had shitloads of potential upon first seeing it....would never have imagined you got it looking shmick AND running only one day later, very VERY NICE !!! :D
Come to think of it....if the FC was mine I'd leave the color stock standard, it looks magic. Only my opinion though mind you lol.
Oh and Nick....I'm innocent of all charges and slurs against my clean and untarnished name ha ha ;D

Cheers Rusty
;)heres an update pic ive added some old nasco spats i had kicking around the place, and the old wheel trims of my fe,every day i drive it to work i at least get two or three thumbs up,i suppose thats the joy of driving a classic old holden!!!!!!jamie ;)
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y177/fe_hotrod/DSC00074.jpg)
Hmmmmm is there anything left on the FE Jamie???
:o :o crying shame stripping an FE for an FC :P
and have those dice valve caps survived??? ;)
Nick
p.s G'day stranger ;D
:o :o :oLOOKING KOOOOOL AS JAMIE :o :o :o
Ahhhhh yes .... the spats, the spatssssss. ;D Absolutely essential FC (or any early Holden) purchase methinks IMHO.
But Jamie .... the sunvisor, WHERE IS THE SUNVISOR?? An FC without a sunvisor is like an old fella who lost his trilby hat hehe. ;)
Pete
That looks absoutely shit hot in my books, love those spats with the ol wheel trims and how LOW it is, your right it doesnt need any badges on them at all, that car looks wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
