nicce FC rach! wish i had the motivation to get mine on the road!

hey guys, just thought i'd give yas all an update on my FC, the panel work is all done, the old man and i have decided on a colour (after much debate) and we've decided on a colour called "antelope", is a silvery gold sorta colour, and getting tires and exhaust done this week before sending her off to the paint shop, then road worthy and reg... and 7 months of waiting untill im old enough to get my p's!!!! then the old girl will definitely get driven!!

it is likely that the falcon will be replaced by something similar to the ford taurus, but in the 90's they imported the taurus and sold like maybe 7 of them, i think ford will realise there mistake, and to the australian public, or at least people my ages (teenagers/young adults) nothing could replace a big 6 or V8. especially not 4cylinder front wheel drives

Just outta curiousity, Does anyone else name their cars (ie, Elanor from Gone In 60 Seconds) my brother calls his 19705 triumph Donald, but i was wondering if anyone else names there car in a similar fashion?

yeah love the ford!
hahaahh a bloke selling car parts outta the boot of one at the ballarat market had one just like it! they look tough when theyre lowered with some nice wheels!

thats a pretty tidy eh mate!
hahahaha as my old man is always telling me "One project at a time"???? hahaha hey how'd u do the floor pans and stuff? cos my passenger side front floor apn is shagged and im trying to fix it, do i just weld in a flat piece?

I need (desperately) a full linkage kit to join ym carbie to the firestreak manifold i have,
PM me with price and part location.

Had anyone got a carpet of the vinyl met thing for the floor of an FC sedan theyre willing to part with? mine kinda fell to pieces when i took it out o take the rust outta the floor.
PM me with price and location

thanks legend!
i got the same 63mm when i went out to check em then! my centre caps are on the way! ;D

do you know where i might be able to find an other set of thease carby spacers? Mine were broken when i took them off the manifold. or do i just go get them made somewhere?

does any one know what the outside diameter of the chrome bullet shaped centre cap would need to be for it to fit a HK premier? the only ones i can find are off the american ebay and are measured in inches, so a measurement in inches and centimeters would be appreciated.

Nothing Suss!!! hahahah ill have to think bout it... or this one "hey parent... blah blah blah exhaust system for christmas... blah blah blah lowering for birthday"?

i have premier buckets in black vinyl i was gonna put in mine.. are they legal if theyve no headrests?

i would willingly on anything but my beloved 58 hahahahahah but i do wanna lower it haha i might just have to save up and scrounge money, but i think i will lower it professionally? or just raid a sandpit hahahahaha

yeeesss!!!! awesome form stinky! hahahahaah
i think thats a lil far! hahaha and i live in a country town hahaha so as soon as the sandpit got raided im sure thered be a linching or the good ol boys fire up the utes and grab the pitchforks hahahaha
by the way? where are your guys getting this from? speaking from experience?

hahahahaha i didnt think bout that!
hahahahahah or i could just ghetto it and crack out the hack saw and cut the springs in the front hahahaha
nuh my dad is paying for a good sounding exhaust system, but ill lower the arse with some 2.5 inch lowering blocks!
when its all done, ill post some photos, at the moment im getting all the rust off the floor with a wire wheel!!! FILTHY job hahahahah 
thanks for the advice mate!

yeah thats probably right, thanks heaps for the advice guys hahahah is tricky being the only bloke my age not into fully sick "falcommodores" and turbo rockets hahah when i talk about carbies my mates say "is dat like injectors on my calais" hahah so this is all a big help!
