I DO HAVE THE FULL MOB NUMBER ALSO BUT THOUGHT IT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE TO DISPLAY IT

what time does this all begin at the coburg drive in??

might have to get an unregistered car permit and take my fc p/van for its maiden voyage.

i do have pics but not sure how to load them on here, can someone else load them for me??

here are the numbers from my fc p/van.

the van is a light blue colour with lay back bench seat, wilsonia gauges and warm a ride heater, after reading another post about a possible police vehicle i was thinking that my van could possibly be also, it has holes in the  top edges of the bonnet (lights/sirens maybe) all black inner skirts and firewall

body    fc 2104 1377 a
trim    351 655
paint   258 2031
rpo     333

skirt chassis number  8 12135 s


any info on my van would be appreciated.


cheers Daz

I have a 3 speed floor shifter that i am willing to sell.

PM me for more details.

where are you located??

i honestly never thought rust could be so interesting to learn about, but i also wish i never had any to study.........lol

it is great to hear everyones different views on these topics that i have never heard anyone ask about before.


cheers FC P/Van

I am in the middle of removing the l/h sills on 1 of my wagons, it was 2/3 full of rust pieces. the outer sill had only very few minor thin spots and the inner is still quite strong (going to replace anyway while i am in there), just wanting to find out where all this bloody rust comes from??  appears to be far far far too much to be from the sill outer only.

once i emptied all the rust from the sill i was wondering how much it weighed so i got to the scales and was surprised to find 4.2kg of rust had come from inside 1 sill. are our cars getting heavier with the more rust they get and steel they lose, has anyone weighed their project before and after "restoration"??

cheers FC P/Van

can someone describe in a little detail as to how to make the patch for the lower "A" pillar, what material, what technique was used etc etc etc

cheers FC P/Van

This article is in the Technical section of the site

http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/tech001.html

I would do the sills first, one side at a time, in case you find you have to repair inners as well.

Cheers
John

thank you so very much for that link, a very informative read on exactly the job i am about to undertake.

cheers FC P/Van

I need to replace both front floor sections in my wagon and outer sills, lower "A" pillar sections are pretty bad also, should i do floors before sills or other way around??? possibly need to do inner sills also depending on what i find when i remove the outers.

cheers

which model fc's had the cigarette lighter in the ash tray on the dash top??

was it only fitted to special's??

just wanting to find out if the lighter in my p/van should be there.

Just to add to P/van's comments -

All FE and FC vans, utes, standard sedans, standard wagons and business sedans only had a lock on the passenger door.  Only special sedans and wagons had 2 door locks

Ken

cheers for that little info Ken, I am always learning new things on this site too, love to help others as much as I can and i know i will get knowledge in return for things I am researching.
