Looks like you are going to shame us all again and make short work of this one too!
I like the blue combos too.
Looking good, keep us updated.

i picked up this kit for the fe aswell,the car will be blue all over with white in the kit.
been a bit busy this week at work so time for the fe has been not what i wanted.

the both rear quarters have got pepper rust in them so i started with the passenger side.

i am pretty happy with my first effort.
Hey Bloke,
Your blue scheme looks good, where did you pick up the FE chrome kit? I thought you could't get em any more.
cheers for the pm mate,
noticed there is a bonnet mascot missing in the photo.... I have one here that you can have if you need it. Its very pitted but free is a good price. Actually I have quite a few FE parts. let us know what your lacking and maybe I can help out
have not had much time this week again,but have done the driver side.

still has to be clear coated.
Well done, one of the scarier jobs to undertake on a car is a paint job. The body looks nice and straight.
Nice, Did you paint it?
John,
Looking good! Can't wait to see it at a club run.
Michael
i thought i would try some lights at the back of the car.

here,s a pic of my new mags,been looking for a set of dragways for over 12 months.
Looks great only one word "lower" ;D ;D ;D
Tommo
John,
Looking good ;D
Did you source those low profile 13 inch tyres new?
Cheers
Dave
Johno,
Looks good, but have you taken the motor out?????????????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D GO LOWWWWWWW
John,
They both look awesome in the blue colour scheme. You are one lucky bugger... :D ;D :D.
yes might let it down a little.....
Hi just40,
I also purchased a set of 7 x 13 dragways recently (and drove from Tassie to Tomorah in NSW to pick them up from a forum member), but when I first put tyres on mine and fitted them on the car I nearly tore the guards off, so I had to move the centres out about 10mm on the rims and machine about 5mm of the back of the centres. They only just rub at the moment so I will have to massage the guards a little bit. Like you I waited a long time to get them and I also think they look good.

i have had no prob,s but i am running 215/50r13 with a 3.08 diff,what tyres are you running they look like 75r13.
I am running Bridgestone Potenza G111 205 60 R13, but the 50 series look nice and compact in comparrison
Regards
Weddo
Hey how about starting to strip the red wagon so we can get it painted
