Hi,Anyone know how to water proof an old canvas water bag that hangs on the front of the car to stop
the water from seaping out.It is a new old one that has never been used.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Iris

Well mike got back to me and said the guy did buy them but only paid
$550 for the 6 that he had listed.He said he was happy with that anyway.
But why would anyone in there right mind bid like that.
I like my auction snipper that bids for me then i cant get out of control.
Cheers Iris

Will try and catch up with him again.
Dont know if he has pic's or his mate now in the USA.
Rosedale started in 1971 and a friend still in the club
from when started was telling me the other day he has
a roll of film from the old style movie camera with all the race tracks
that have now gone.Has had it put on video tape and now on disc.
Lots of FC and early holdens on it would like to get a copy of it.
Will see how i go with the pic's.
Cheers Iris

Mick is going to let me know what happens so will keep you all posted.
Iris

Mick the seller got back to me and said the winner sounds a bit dodgy
so maybe doing second chance offer.
Will be interesting to see what happens.

Iris

I sent him a message the otherday and said to change his listing to say there
were 2 stainless and 1 chrome because he would get more for them as i have
seen them go for a couple of hundred dollars.
He got good money for the others he sold also.
Have just sent him a message as i think i should now get comission on that amount.
Don't you think i should ???

Hi Col,
Do you know what track this photo was taken at.
One of the cars has Brighton on the side so may be in Victoria.
My brother inlaw used to race a FC mostly at Rosedale Race Track in Vic.
Now i have 5 in my family that all race there.
Will have to see if he can get me some pic's to put on of his car.
Nice car you have looks good.
Ours is not far from being compleated so hope to do some of the shows in the near future.
She has been taken right back and is now getting all the chrome back on.

Cheers Iris & Dennis

Hi,I have checked the chassis number and it comes up 6,434th FC in any body style assembled in Adelaide
but by the ID plate details its 8900.
So these 2 lots of numbers dont match up.
Could that mean the chassis could have been changed at some time ?.
Thanks Iris

Found the chassis number 87434A.Hope this helps.
Thanks Iris

Have tried to find chassis number in the past but could'nt find it.
will have another look and see how we go.
Currently it is blue but wonted to make sure it hadn't been changed at some time.
The motor was not original when we got it.It was out of an EJ
but have since picked up one with the fc numbers etc.
Thanks for the other info.Will get back to you with numbers if we find them.Thanks Iris.

Hi, I hope someone can help.
