hey everyone,

one thing i have noticed is that the steering column looks unusualy long, im not sure if it is just the boss kit for the sports s/w giving it that extra length or if it had a new one put in when the HR front end was installed.

but it is kind of uncomfortable, so im not sure if it is right or not.

so any info on that would be great

thanks matt

hey Geoff,

Yes it is the FC in the F?RD car yard in Mornington, have you had a look, if so what do u think?

im thinking of offering them $4000 with reg and roadworthy & then selling the rego plates to help fund the repairs plus what i have left over.

also if anyone has a nice slightly modified FC they are thinking of selling give us a yell.

cheers matt

thanks Slim,

im actually a torana freak and have been looking for a nice LC 2 door for the last couple of years, and have loved them my whole life, my dad had the xu1's when they were new and i know every thing there is to know about them but when it comes to FC'S i dont know were to start to look for problems, and if i cant find a good one i think im going to rebuild my broters LC that he ran up the back of a landrover  , its nice its got a fully worked 202, aussie 4, LSD and so on, but ive got the money to make it real nice

I dont know what im doing yet though

cheers, matt

thanks for the info nicko

but apart from the rust its all in good nick and runs great, the engine only has 400k's on it since the rebuild, it has a HR front end and a new gear box, ive been told to pay no more than $5000 for it.

but i was hoping someone would know it as the previous owner was a member of the vic FE/FC club.

you wouldnt happen to know how much julie is asking for hers do you, because it looks really nice

cheers, matt

hey, yes it is a car dealer

they tell me that they will pay to make it roadworthy for that price, they reckon it will cost $1000. But after the stories ive heared about writen out roadworthies i dont trust them

thanks for your thoughts

hey my names Matt, im 17 and im looking at buying a 1958 FC special sedan, it has a modified 186 with twin carbs, 2 1/2 " exhaust & it is lowered with mag wheels, apart fom that, which is a fair bit it is virtually original.

Unfortunatly it has rust in the lower parts of the left hand side panels and the left hand front floor has had water leaking on it and is begining to rust but on top of that the front sub frame has all but rusted out on the left hand side and the right hand side is starting to go.

Is there anywere in vic that i can get replacements for these and how much would it cost?

And if anyone has any helpfull info for a first time FC buyer ie: what should i look for and what should i steer clear of i would be realy greatfull.

Last but not least (sorry about the length) the car looks really neat and has a neat interior, it just has alot of little problems as i have metioned, but they are asking $7990 for it which i think is to much but im not sure so any feedback on that would be really good to.

Also the rego is FC 1958 which is good , just incase any of you know it or have seen it before, I think the previous owner was a member of the vic FE/FC club.

Thanks heaps matt
