I gave the old grey an oil change castrol 25 x 60 for older engines seeing there is no oil filter how often should you change it "sorry if i sound a bit naive but this is my first grey."

thanks .

Any ideas on getting a bit more punch out of the old grey.
Its a good old thing no smoke plenty compression ect.
I dont really want to go the expence of a red motor conv. If i can get a bit more stick out of the old girl i will be happy...?

Cheers Rod..   ::)

g'day to all......I know I dont have to fit seat belts to the old girl for rego but I think it would be a good idea "its not 1958 out there anymore."So any ideas on what i should fit them out of. I am thinking early commodore.

Who said crumple zones are a new thing..

Just finished putting the chrome back on. went with burgandy pearl for the boot.

I think my fc has a 138 motor the engine number begins with a b were all of these engines 138s.
cheers Rod

My wipers are not working real well any ideas on boosting up the old vaccum setup or go electric setup if so will a wiper motor of say an fb-ek ej-eh fit an fc

Thanks for the feedback guys "Problem solved" I took one of my original wheels, which is painted dominion maroon down to the paint mob. and they matched  it beautifully so I got three litres, two for the car and one for spare...

cheers Rod.

Thanks for the picture ret. etna maroon is not quite what im looking for i thought it was a bit darker than that..I think the colour trev is talking about is dominion maroon that is the colour im looking for but  nobody has the formula for it anymore i have tried a few paint shops. I dident have any trouble getting the india ivory mixed, strange how the maroon is not available.

Thanks wayne Im in gosford I spoke to a bloke up in cardiff I might give him a go.
 
Cheers Rod.

I picked up a couple spare fc blinker surounds how would i go about getting them re chromed I heard they are can be a bit hit and miss when re chroming cast bits and peices..

cheers Rod...

Any fe or fc out there done in etna maroon Im thinking about doing mine in it wouldn't mind seeing a photo of one done in it before i get some mixed.

thanks rod

I am after the paint formula for dominion maroon getting desp. may have to think about something close to it .

If anyone is interested there is a complete fc wagon on ebay only one hour to go current bid $650.00 "hr front end" i would go it myself but i suffer from lack of space..

Thanks rusty thats the roof and front end done "lots of work to this stage" the doors will need a bit more prep. before they get some paint." I want to keep the colors original but I am having trouble getting dominion maroon mixed up for the flash through its looks like i might have to go with something else im thinking etna maroon.

Latest pics front end sprayed and buffed.  http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v260/rliddle/fc.jpg
