I wonder if Trax will pay a commission for starting this thread and rounding up more orders?
Its a thought.
David
thank's roy,
i'll p.m you now.
cheer's col. ;)
The Trax website is now saying the gold FE will be available in April. It had previously said March. Damn, I want one and I want it now.

QuoteDamn, I want one and I want it now.

You have seen the gold '48, I trust? Given how long it took for Trax to sell out of those, I must admit I'm a little surprised to see the style resurface. Still, for all I know they might sell out in five minutes and be going for $200 on Ebay by May...
cheers
RET
Ret and all,
There is a production hold on these at
the moment,as there were problem's
with the manufacturer.Some type of fault
with them,due in mid april - as the man
from trax said to me he was surprised
how quick they are selling himself.Then
again an fx ain't an fe,can't wait for the fc
version.
Cheer's Col.
Yep, With all the interest they have probably ordered an extra squillion and had to send out for more gold paint.
Gary
Fianally,
got my two GOLD fe's today,well
one for me one for the bro,they look great
too by the way.very happy.so anyone that
has ordered these should receive them
shorty,if not already.
cheer's col. ;)
i just got mine, looks great but has blemish in the paint on the front guard over the wheel arch, was wondering if anyone elses model came in the same condition?? ???
Yep, 1 of mine has 2 minor blemishes, on the bonnet & dogleg, I will be asking for a replacement, the other 1 is good.
Gary
thanks for the reply, i'll be sending mine back, just wanted to make sure i wasn't being too fussy with finish as the gold seems to show up any blemish
hmmm,
now that i've checked carefully there is
pinhead mark's(lump's/blister's) near the left tailight,look's like the gold has'nt mealted
properly in the plating process.or casting was
a bit rough before plating other than that
it look's really good.i'll stick with them it's not
as if i paid 5k for the gold job. :-/
cheer's col.
We bought two as well. One was good, the other had a blemish in the finish above the rh front guard spear.
Sent it back, got another one with a small fault at trailing edge of rh front guard (near the sill panel). They must be recycling the dodgy ones- musical Gold FE's anyone?
that is the good thing about trax, i've never had a problem if i sent a car back they always send a replacement, i've only sent back 2 cars in 6 years of collecting trax models,
interesting to see the gold fe's are already appearing on ebay :)
Thanks for the heads up about blemishes I'll have to give mine a good once over. ???
Derrick.
gday all,
I must be one of the lucky ones, after reading these posts, I gave my gold FE a good look over, and it is spot on.
