Title: FE wagon rear compartment Post by: Rabbitoh on October 19, 2005, 10:22:04 PM To anyone with a stock FE wagon:
I need some photos of the rear compartment interior (& tailgate) showing the various trims/linings etc. for a guide to what I should be aiming for. Thanks. Title: Re: FE wagon rear compartment Post by: mcl1959 on October 22, 2005, 07:36:18 AM Chris, the side panels are made of the same material that the front kickpanels are made from - painted in the same colour. These are screwed on with the same screws and washers which hold the plastic surrounds on the front seat.
The floor area, back of the rear seat and tailgate is trimmed in a grey square pattern material with a hessian back. It is a very heavy duty material. The rear seat and tailgate have a metal trim which runs around the perimeter of them and is held in place by screws. The rear floor material is glued in place.

That is a very helpful guide for me to aim for. Got most of the metal trims you mention, but the hession backed fabric is not great in some areas. Don't suppose any of that grey square pattern material is available these days? Title: Re: FE wagon rear compartment Post by: 20.4_seconds on October 26, 2005, 07:07:20 AM Chris,
I have been watching this post also and taking all the advice on board, would you believe I saw one of those hessian backed rear covers on Ebay about 7 months ago and I didn't have a brass razoo to buy it ::) ::)...it sold for $90.00 or abit over and it was in good condition too...something tells me that they are going to be rarer than rocking horse poo to find in good condition.. It was for an FE Wagon also...hmmm not too many of them around..wonder if they will read this post!!! Nick ;) Now if we can get a few pics of a finished stock FE wagon to guide us that would please two of us ;D Title: Re: FE wagon rear compartment Post by: craiga on October 26, 2005, 08:33:11 AM Here's a couple of cars, but no shots of the rear compartment. Mick in QLD has a beautiful FE Standard wagon, somoene may have a shot of this. Maybe Alex?

I had seen the bottom two before but not Robin's :o Anyone know if he is around the board much? I would love to see a few more close up photos of that one...it's soooo like mine ;D Sorry Chris dont mean to hijack Nick Title: Re: FE wagon rear compartment Post by: Hewart on October 27, 2005, 12:49:57 AM Hey guys...
I had a couple of shots of Mick's FE in my Nationals album, only 1 good-ish one of the back compartment though... But in saying that, the back compartments of an FE Standard could be different to an FE Special as they are in the FC wagons (as indicated in this post http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=pwntd;action=display;num=1129378045 )... not sure, but here they are anyway...

The compartment looks identical to the one in my FC Special wagon, but maybe the boards on the side are slightly different composition? I know that the tray material is exactly the same because I had a very good look at Mick's car at Jindabyne. Here's my wagon's compartment. (http://tinypic.com/ekmf0g.jpg) Cheers, Craig.
