Thanks to all that enquired-

Thanks for the comments all..... no offence taken ratbox.. :)
I have just dropped the price on tradingpost to $6k- but wont be toooo negotiable past there though.
I will be out of town until wednesday night- but if anyone wants to view
between now and then - it will be in the driveway, just give me a call for the address.
I have just realised that i omitted a pic-the worst sill rust one- drivers side.
Have just emailed it to fchoon asking him to post it for me- (Thanks Pete)

Thanks for that Pete- You're a champion.

Hi all,
I have a 1957 FE Ute for sale, moving interstate and it will be a bit impractical to keep.
I will get some pics uploaded following the weekend.
It is reasonably standard, with a little rust coming through in a couple of the usual places (Tailgate has seen better days).
Engine, gearbox & diff has been reconditioned approximately 5 years ago, and minimal miles done since.
Runs, stops (on 4x drums), and even goes around corners!
I am chasing around $8k, but would like some input from forum members once photos are up.
Also comes with spare sills(outer), finned alloy rocker cover, a twin carb manifold.
Keep an eye out for photos after the weekend!

Hey Bellab-
Any pics??
Mal

hey Tayz- Photo available if not gone yet??

Hey sideplate-
Do you have a pic?- Are they chromed standard rims??

Nes138
Am keen on the indicators- please PM me-

Does anyone know where I can get dizzy springs(in melbourne) to rebuild my 138 unit?
I've looked on Rare Spares website- but it looks like they only do them on a full unit exchange basis? :'(
Has anyone had some made up?

Has anyone had experience in modifying the breather outlet on the grey sideplate?
I was thinking about making up a breather box and pipe to run any oil/fumes back to the carb to burn it- rather
than dump it on the ground (or all ove the dist. and engine as my pipe is missing :-[)
Has anyone attempted this before- or more importantly- is there a better way to solve this problem?
Can I get away with simply plugging the sideplate outtlet??
Cheers-

I am looking for a replacement front left guard due to some taxi-induced skidding........ >:(
If no-one out there has onek- some hints on where to look would be great!
cheers-

I have a short somewhere in my FE ute fuel gauge circuit that causes the gauge to register full when the break pedal is pushed!
Can anyone suggest a good place to start /technique for fault-finding this?
 :-/

Have it sorted out now- thanks folks-
Parts due down from Sydney tomorrow-
Cheers
Mal

Does anyone have a passenger side subframe member that they are willing to part with?

I need to get my FE ute on the road in the next week or so- and rarespares have been out of stock for more than a month! :'(

Cheers-
Mal

All the rust is welded up, and motor and 'box are waiting to go back in.........but
can anyone suggest who stocks extractors or headers for a 138 in an FE?
Or what about someone who can make a set in melbourne?
Cheers,
mal

Hi Folks,
Can anyone offer me advice on installing seatbelts into an FE ute?
Are there any existing point that I can mount them?? I would assume not.
Does anyone manufacture a kit that has pre-fabricated mounting point to weld in- or do i need to make them myself?
I am located in Melbourne.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mal

Cheers for that Chuck-
Looks like I'll head to Scotts tonight on the way home
to see what the damage :o will be.......
Thanks for your help!
Mal

Hello All,
I've been watching for a while, and jumped on in!
In the process of negiotiating a FE ute ;D, with the Gold Coast Chrome in the usual places.......
Can anyone tell me where I can source replacement floor and subframe in Melbourne?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..........
Cheers!

Can the Nationals be held in a different City each year to give others a chance to enter, costs to transport the vehicles are enormous???
