1  For Sale and Wanted / Cars For Sale / 2 x FC special sedans for sale on: July 13, 2014, 11:19:05 PM
Hello everyone,
I have up for sale 2 x FC special sedans 1 x very very good condition totally rust free project car (now modified) and 1 x very rusty parts car (complete car with glass and trim etc.)
The good one has 37,472 miles on it and has had chassis and tunnel work done to suit a Holden V8, Red 6, V6 or a Chevy V8 etc. It has a A9X torana rack and pinion wishbone front end, grafted (but still unbolts) into the old Y frame mounts that have been strengthened, extra chassis rails from Y frame mounts back to rear mono-cock chassis for torsional strength , bigger tunnel welded in, VN commodore brake booster mounted and connected to original brake pedal, EK steering column cut down 3" (to get it out your teeth) but still retain the original steering wheel and indicator mechanism. also it has a centre handbrake from a cortina fitted, (I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING!! YES FORD S#1T) I have lots and lots of chrome and stainless trim (pick and choose the best bits) to suit whatever paint scheme you desire plus loads of standard grey motor parts. I have 8 very good doors, all are rust free one is old GMH stock still in GMH black!! I have new baily channel, complete rubber and seal kit, new moulding clip kit, NOS lenses front and rear, NASCO grill badge plus boxes of assorted parts.
The rusty parts car is a roller 95% complete with engine (not running) G/Box, glass and all door mechanisms etc. Perfect for when you need that extra screw, bolt, nut, or door lock rod etc.  

HERES THE CATCH!!!! THIS WILL BE SOLD AS A COMPLETE PACKAGE NOT INTERESTED IN SPLITTING CARS UP OR SELLING PARTS HERE AND THERE
please PM me, leave me your number or Email if you are keen, and I will send pictures and we can chat from there.
Cars are located in Whyalla South Australia. $15,000 ono, for every thing I have, all serious offers will be considered.  

Thankyou for looking and have a great day
Cheers
Smokey

Thanks heaps guys
Will give Craig a ring and ask wat he recons. Spoke to rod from Rodtech who has built all my previous diffs for other projects & race cars
Ive had over the years. He seems to think that its what ever makes the engineer happy, so over engineered or heavier duty the better.
But that means more coin. So he may have an ulterior motive.$$$$
thanks again for all your help.

3  Technical Board / Modification Help / wat dose SA reg require for a shortened diff? on: September 28, 2010, 09:45:02 PM
Gday has anyone in sa put a shortened diff in a fc because i want run a little bit of rim offset eg. 8" rim 3"3/8 back space.
rang my engineer but he just didn't get it, saying why would you want to do that?
I asked him what he would like to see as far as, just billet axel's with h/duty bearings or a full floating axel kit, like on a drag car.
Can anyone give me an insite into expectations or know the legallities of this mod or give me someone to talk to.
Have tryed to contact someone at Transport SA about this, but im pretty sure they answer the phone, put you on hold, point, laugh, then go home or something.

                          Any help would be cool Grin

g,day i,ve just had a EK one shortened and set up to a LH/UC rack'n'pinion front end for a V8 conversion, by cutting the bottom off the EK column
just past the fire wall and using LJ steering uni-joints down onto your rack. gives lots of clearance for extractors plus it still looks original inside eg. stock indicator switch & wheel. I had mine shortened 3" to get the wheel out of ya teeth

firstly sorry to ED i was only trying say how good i am with computers.............not very as you obviously picked. Grin
mate I'm trying to find someone in SA who has done a mod like mime to find out what Transport SA require as far as diff with
billet axle's or full floater kit, to get a bit of rim offset. Or is it fully up to the engineer?
I have spent hours on the phone trying to get through to someone at trans SA.
have spoken to the engineer who was recommended by tony (the bloke who did the chassis work)
He couldn't grasp why i wanted to run a shortened diff to get the offset i want ,saying that would cost money to build. Huh
As you all would know when putting a V8 in one of these cars legally its not the cheapest build choice.

Any help would be great
6  General / General Board / new at inter-nerd,just got an fc on: September 27, 2010, 09:53:57 PM
gday I'm new at this inter-nerd thing and i hope this works ,I currently own a couple of fc,s one good one and one really rusty one,these were a genuine barn find in a little town called "Chrystal brook" the good one is in bits, but is mint, been in the same shed for 37 years. The other old girl lived out the back under a gum tree for about the same time so she,s a bit far gone.
Anyhow now I'm about to upset a few I'm sure. I am currently in the process of fitting a legal 308 th400 just got the car back from tony at "OL HOLDENS" in lonsdale, Adelaide. He,s just fitted a UC Torrie rack,n,pinion front end,large tunnel to clear th400,center floor mount h/brake,VN booster,shortened EK steering column so as to retain original steering wheel and indicators but gets rid of original gear stick mechanism. haven,t decided on a diff yet, thinkin bout a VR Ute diff as they are load rated. that way i could run some rim offset. eg 8"rim 3 3/8 back space. would love to here from other people in SA with modified fe-fc
