terrific ute guys  :D I'm getting close to paint time on my wagon and that colour is just what I'm after, What is it?
 Thanks Buddha ;D

That is an awesome Fb perhaps if it was in Qld and my wife went on holidays it would be in my garage. If its still 4 sale in 6-8 weeks time I would be interested in it then. That said, go for a drive with a 4sale sign on it and you will have every red blooded bloke (young and old) wanting to empty their bank accounts.

Goodluck, Buddha ;)

Hi all :D

I have found a wagon in my local area that is up 4 sale.
I need advice on how much to offer for this car, because the guy will not give me a price but would rather me make him an offer. I don't think this guy is up to date with the value of early holdens so I was going to offer a price around $4000.Its two tone blue, really straight and 99% rust free. The paint is reasonable but will need a repaint to look nice.
:grey motor, twin carbs, extractors and exhaust
:interior is pretty rough but all there
:needs new rubber kit
: all striping flashes and badges are present
:lowered with nice widened rims, tyres on the way out
:runs and drives well
: chrome work is powder coated, old and rough
: comes with spare chrome (2b rechromed)
:spare doors tailgate rims and bits and pieces
Everything on the car works nicely and he is selling it registered and roadworhty.
Would $4000 insult him or would he jump at it.
I have only ever been involved with Eh's and $4000 would be a steal, but in Qld everything Eh is pricey.

Looking forward to your advice guys. Keep up the good work on the forum I really enjoy it all, especially the arguements.

Hey guys, looking two paint may wagon. Its a daily driver so I'm not after a show job, rather a nice acrylic original period style job.  She damn straight and virtually rust free.  Looking for two tone white over blue etc.  I know there are a lot of handy guys on this site that now how to paint early holdens in their sleep.  I'll pay cash and even be a gopher if u want,  Any answers on price or info on a mate of a mate etc would be a great help. I would do it myself but I love the old girl and she needs an experienced set of hands. Cheers.

Andrew :D :D

Thanks Mr T. I'll give him a call and check it out.  Would he source the gear I need is that usually the owners responsibility? Thanks 4 the quick reply, this is truly a great website/forum.

Hi everyone at the forum I am new here and am about 2 purchase a FC wagon.
Im a tradesman not a mechanic though. I would like to know approx what the $$ to convert a basically standard wagon into a V8. Nothing flash, just a 253 or similar.  If anyone knows someone who can do this conversion in Qld I would be very appreciative of the info. Also is there a Fc club in brisbane? Thanks guys, I'll post some pics when I pick up the wagon. :D :D
