I have a question to ask.
 does an fe ute or fe in general have the swirly pattern in the roof lining like the fcs or are they different.
reason for asking was in echuca last week and went to holden museum. the owners ute is an fe with fc strips and swirly roof lining and he had no idea what had been done to it.
                                                      cheers david :D

HELP can anyone give some ideas as to the easiest way to remove a roof lining out of an fc wagon without tearing it have done the usual ie remove windows etc
                                                 regards david ;)

would be interested as to what the reserve price is considering it has no motor, though it does look neat ;)

thanx guys i gave them a call to enquire about a HR crossmember converted to suit redmotor and the price almost made me fall off my perch ;D
 i have now opted for a v8 conversion
                                                            cheers david

glenn i have a question for u,
     did u have to have your headers specially made or can u buy them off the shelf so to speak ???
                                                      regards david

my question would be , that would you fit or have to fit them if the car was modified say larger motor and you took it in for rego (ps dont want to steal this thread)
                                                      regards david ;)

can anyone give me the correct website for rarespares.
every time i try to get into it all i get is some stupid site to do with dolls :-/

                                                        cheers david

thanx glenn,
 duely noted and taken onboard.
may be a way to keep the rug rats quiet on those sunday drives though ;D

hi graeme,
i was talking to sgo the other day(sunday) and he has got a great set up (v6and auto out of vp). he has used the vp dash cluster in it and it looks fantastic,BUT a little bit to hard for me to do i think do i would like to leave original cluster in if possible thats why i am enquiring about adaptors
                                                       cheers david

thanx chuck,
i will give them a call tomorrow and see what the cost is
 the freight to  Vic shouldnt be that much
                                                     regards david

good stuff,
thanks trev ;D i will pass the message on to the uninlightened(?) one
                                                cheers david

can anyone tell me if u can purchase an adaptor to turn a pulse reading for the speedo into a cable to mount up to the original fc speedo

and if its not possible would i be better to run a turbo 400 instead of a turbo 700 to fix the problem
                                                 regards david

i know this question is nor related to this forum but i am sure someone out there can help.
is there something(ie cleaner) that can be used to clean the aluminium dash plates(radio blank etc) on an fb (the one without the painted stars)to get rid of years of tarnish
                                            thanks david ;D

geez Ret, could of sworn you were talking about vic roads here in vic(how obvious) ;)
                                                      cheers david

i wish in my thirteen years of driving taxis that i had one like that ;)

just what every early holden owner should get for christmas :D  

thanks scott!
i have already got the 14" commodore discs and diff, so i think i will run with them and use commodore rims.
this i think will give me a larger variety of mags to choose from hopefully without fouling on the HQ stubs.
the diff place here in geelong  is pretty reasonable so there wont be a great cost in setting it up i hope.
                                                    regards david ;)

pete,
 you could try contacting an fx/fj club . they would have some sort of decoder that could tell you if its genuine or has been replaced.   good luck
                                                               cheers david

thanx, have another question :D
  4 cyl commodore has early model stud pattern??? then would have to run 4 cyl diff to keep it right ?
 i thought the only differance with 4- 6 cyl commodore was the diameter of the discs to accomadate the 13" wheels on 4 cyl.
can someone please help with this :-/
                                                              regards david

next question is then, if i run HR crossmember with matching control arms and if i use HQ stubs can i run Commodore (14") discs and then will i have to use HQ calipers or do commodore units bolt up
ps:someone told me to use HZ calipers is there any reason for this? :-/
                                                        regards david
