Hi all,

             Fine Example
             Fair  Copy

Regards Mick  

Hi All,
I think your all getting worked up over nothing as the add says  "fe for wrecking"   and in the next sentence "FOR SALE hk premier 186  ........$2500 " Just thought I'd point this out.

Regards Mick

Hi Cat,
Ret is right on.The fe & fc SPECIAL station sedans had the same badges  but the fe and fc STANDARD station sedans had NO badges at all

Regards Mick  

Hi guys,
Yes Graham your right the sedans used the scissor type jack and the wagon ute and vans used the mechanical bottle jacks. The sedans had a mount welded half way along the inner sill and floor for the knob of the scissor jack and the rest [wagons utes & vans] didn't have this mounting point. Hope this helps

Hi John,
           The raffle for the R.O.H. wheels was drawn at the may QLD club meeting on the 7th of May and the winner was Garry Allen of the QLD club

Regards Mick

And I thought it was just me not knowing how to drive this thing [couldn't find the photos either]

Mick

Your right on the money RET  that's what Ken told me too  and also the total number built {of  FE STANDARD WAGONS ] was approxamately 1800 units Not many eh

Regards Mick

Well guys you can learn something new everyday as I,ve been playing with early's for a while and never knew the locaters were  in a different spot on an fb/ek horn button compared with an fe/fc one. Good to see you back ACE  

Regards Mick

I think it's a standard tring to evolve into a special. The moulds on the back quarters are or look like special front door lower moulds. evryone has different tastes.
Note the rear screen has special moulds and the front  doesn't. But still it looks a tidy car.

Hi guys,
           I have to agree with you guys, I surf  ebay regularly as I do this site and  really don't think [without offending anyone] ebay links are needed in the parts For sale section.

Another 2 cents worth

Regards Mick

Hi Cat ,
          There is no difference between a sedan and wagon  bumper.  Rear bumpers  are the same on all FE & FC,s sedans and wagons, but utes and vans have bumperettes. The only diifference in the front bars is the fe Specials had the " guard piece" around the No plate.
The Fe standards , commercials and FC,s did not have this guard section on the front bar .

Hope this helps

Regards Mick

Hi Guys,

Hi guys,
           I contacted the organising committee and they told me they will be sending out receipts and directions to all the entrants shortly. If you have any questions please call Greg on :0408063198 BH or (07)38867361 AH

Regards Mick

Hi All,
       Just thought I'd let you know there are 58 entries to the NATS!!!!!! I can't wait to see them all cruising around the Gold Coast and meet all the entrants. ONLY 54 days to go and counting.

Regards Mick

Hi slim,
The blanking collar [where the indicator arm would be] is original equipment as Ret says on every thing fe/fc except the special models. You could however buy a nasco '' indicator package'' from your holden dealer.
Fe's standards/ vans & utes had no indicator lights on the front from the factory and Fc's standards/ vans & utes had  ''indicators'' on the front but they on these models were called park light assemblies.

KInd regards Mick
