Hello all.
I'd like to share some random pics of a few cars i saw whilst traveling through Cuba!

Thanks Frank.
I'm underway filling out the application for the department of planning and infrastructure modified light vehicle approval and am lucky to have a good mate thats an engineer. Fingers crossed i'll get the ok for the modification soon. I cant believe how much information you have to supply them like the angle of your exhaust outlets etc, i was surprised that they didnt want to know the colour of my undies whilst working on the vehicle!

Plans are to keep the car the same colours and i have brought a set of 15inch cragar smoothies and atlas porta wall white wall inserts.
The inserts are expensive in australia so i managed to get a set sent over from athens greece for 90 bung delivered.
I remember those night photos but cant find them anywhere i'll post them if i find them.

Good day chaps! Here are some photos of my fe holden and the start of my chev conversion.
I have owned the fe for about 7 years now and am allegedly the third owner. It was a really hard decision whether to restore it back to stock or butcher it and put in a chev as there is hardly any rust. Being a young fella a 138 grey isnt very appealing.
The fe was a daily driver for three years with a painted blue red 202 until the starter stripped the ring gear and was left gathering dust until now!
Just stripped it down to the shell and made a rotisserie from acquired steel from work and waiting for my castlemain rod shop goodies to arrive.
My main goal in this build is to keep it as simple as possible by using ideas from those seasoned veterans that have carried out such conversions.[/img]

Your quality chrome work reminds me of xmas!!! very nice ride.

Hiya Brett, How did you get and how can i get one of those 2 speed switches!!!!

Thanks Ken thats geat info cheers.

Hello all, i just purchased a pair of stubtechs 2 inch drop spindles (suit commo brakes on HR front) and want to know what would be the best disc brake and caliper combination to use? i have been told VT commo calipers with VS rotors, has anyone done this?  and i will be running VS master and booster.

Love the colour of your rides,, my favorite to...

Very very nice work and great ideas brett_f, looks like it will be the best handling fc around,, is the LH torrie front the same track (outter hub to hub) as the fc?

i knew it had been done!!!! how did you do it custom fc????

hello all, how do you fit a grey motor rocker cover on a red motor? does it fit over the top of the red motor rocker cover or something?

Your my new idol... i love the fe wagon.

Hey taz you forgot oxy heating the springs all round till it sags 4 inchs,... it reminds me of when i was 17... at least it looks cool!!!!

yep my stock as a rock fe has a colour coded engine bay from factory but as soon as the chev goes in it will be black cause i think it makes the engine stands out.. but im a bit hollywood..

thats a beautiful fc ute mate well done, i love that colour green... i think i might try the win/win one, sex or car sounds good to me..

thats a great idea cheers i'll try that!!

Has any one got any old trade secrets on finding time away from the misses to work on our cars?
