terrific ute guys   I'm getting close to paint time on my wagon and that colour is just what I'm after, What is it?
Thanks Buddha

That is an awesome Fb perhaps if it was in Qld and my wife went on holidays it would be in my garage. If its still 4 sale in 6-8 weeks time I would be interested in it then. That said, go for a drive with a 4sale sign on it and you will have every red blooded bloke (young and old) wanting to empty their bank accounts.

Goodluck, Buddha

Hi all

I have found a wagon in my local area that is up 4 sale.
I need advice on how much to offer for this car, because the guy will not give me a price but would rather me make him an offer. I don't think this guy is up to date with the value of early holdens so I was going to offer a price around $4000.Its two tone blue, really straight and 99% rust free. The paint is reasonable but will need a repaint to look nice.
:grey motor, twin carbs, extractors and exhaust
:interior is pretty rough but all there
:needs new rubber kit
: all striping flashes and badges are present
:lowered with nice widened rims, tyres on the way out
:runs and drives well
: chrome work is powder coated, old and rough
: comes with spare chrome (2b rechromed)
:spare doors tailgate rims and bits and pieces
Everything on the car works nicely and he is selling it registered and roadworhty.
Would $4000 insult him or would he jump at it.
I have only ever been involved with Eh's and $4000 would be a steal, but in Qld everything Eh is pricey.

Looking forward to your advice guys. Keep up the good work on the forum I really enjoy it all, especially the arguements.

Hey guys, looking two paint may wagon. Its a daily driver so I'm not after a show job, rather a nice acrylic original period style job.  She damn straight and virtually rust free.  Looking for two tone white over blue etc.  I know there are a lot of handy guys on this site that now how to paint early holdens in their sleep.  I'll pay cash and even be a gopher if u want,  Any answers on price or info on a mate of a mate etc would be a great help. I would do it myself but I love the old girl and she needs an experienced set of hands. Cheers.

Thanks Mr T. I'll give him a call and check it out.  Would he source the gear I need is that usually the owners responsibility? Thanks 4 the quick reply, this is truly a great website/forum.

Hi everyone at the forum I am new here and am about 2 purchase a FC wagon.
Im a tradesman not a mechanic though. I would like to know approx what the $$ to convert a basically standard wagon into a V8. Nothing flash, just a 253 or similar.  If anyone knows someone who can do this conversion in Qld I would be very appreciative of the info. Also is there a Fc club in brisbane? Thanks guys, I'll post some pics when I pick up the wagon.
