Hi Guys...It's been awhile since I've been on here... well a long while... i do miss catching up with you all and your projects, help and inspiration ... been building my house so the FE Holden has been in storage...I really want it on the road so much that when I see a FE or FC driving or in pics it starts to hurt 

I know this is a very old thread and thanks for the link to calculate sizes.... but I'm still not sure if  205(215??)/50/16 would fit without any mods or rubbing

Can someone help me please 

NOTE:  Just PM me for a copy

Thanks

Hi Guys/Gals,

 I'm sorry I might not have replied or not been on here for awhile... there's been so much happen in my life the last 18mths, some very sad, some amazingly beautiful, but i have missed being on here and since I haven't I've lost all motivation to finish off my FE... I really need to get my mind on full focus to complete my FE... there's not that much to do, but there are some things that need to be done that i feel i'm a bit out of my league and i guess that's what stuns me to move forward.... maybe search for a FE/FC Guru close by to give me a kick in the pants and some good sound advise/help... time is getting very short for me to have the time to finish it off and enjoy

so of you need a parts catalogue... i will try my best to get it sorted for you

I still need to take all the processed of this fund raiser down to my QLD FE/FC club.... be gr8 to meet up with Roy, his wife and the rest of the crew, they are such nice guys... 


anyway thanks guys for your patience

Hi JB,
  It's been like forever since I was last on here.... if you have children you know young babies, toddlers and school kids all take the most part of life at the moment. But it's great to see how much work you have done.... excellent !!!

It makes me want to get my FE sorted... I sure need the motivation, help and focus to get mine on the road... ironically there's not a huge amount of work left to do.... maybe get back to going to my QLD FE/FC Club meetings and re-spark the passion... I seen a pink and white FC driving around again, pulled up next to it and really felt both hubby and wife were living their FC dream... it did start a spark in me... than to see how far you have come JB is just fantastic.... you must be smiling from ear to ear...

good no excellent work JB

Hey Pedro,

  Thankx for the update, it must be hard to be motivated at this time.... be strong mate, be strong in reaching out to your family, friends and all those on here who are your Holden family, even if it's just to talk, vent out, cry if need be.

I've only met you once on our QLD FE/FC Holden drive day out, a brief converstion over the table while we had lunch, but never-the-less we are all mates on here and support you in our concerns and thoughts.....

I'm sure i speak on behalf of most of us on here, feel free to contact us via PM or phone numbers to talk, get a group together or just to get out of the house.....  whatever helps you through this "Bad Dream" Mate, we're all here to help you.....

God Bless your path in this dark hour 


FE 4 ME 

We're all sad by your news mate..... words mean nothing right now

try to find comfort with your love that will last forever... stick close to your family mate

correction V5's

oopppss  i got the model number ( style ) wrong that i was wanting to have on my FE.... they're the V4 series

here are the centres on the ebay link below :-

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Simmons-Wheel-/261176272627?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccf51a6f3


i think these would look like on a FE/FC


the b45's are the star like patern, a bit too much of a modern look for these old skool classics, the V4's are a bit more of a classic look in my opinion... the B45 style look great on a commodore or remember the Cordia Turbo   white on white just look the part

V4's for me   


FE 4 ME

i like em, how much did they set you back ? were they hard to find any body work needed for the 15's to fit ?


niccceeee

FE 4 ME

bump... i cant believe it's been over a year since i posted this thread... there's a FC V8 ute on ebay with the same simmons B45's i had in mind.....

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FC-Holden-Ute-/321082014307?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4ac1faba63

they look great

i think i can get them in 13's or 14's ( mayber larger but than there has to be body work done to make them fit ) but if we can get them to make 1 size it will be much cheaper on the sale price

FE 4 ME

i'm not meaning to take over this thread... but that V8 Ute with the simmons got me thinking

FE 4 ME

i got a mate who owns a tyre company and we got talking and with a lot of hassle and shipping from different companies it can be done... i'm keen to get a set... i think he was talking about $1600 brand new....

that's a bargain... but no takers i can search for the thread i made regarding this


FE 4 ME

Here's another one in much better condition with all the bells and whistles.... also come with the price tag to suit


very nice indeed.... i tried to get the guys on here interested in a set of simmons 13" maybe even 14's made for us but no interest at all... simmons look so kool on an FE or FC... i think the B45's look the best by far


anyway now you have 2 more options to think of

FE 4 ME

I've seen this online before... maybe it might suit you

hope that helps you on your path

FE 4 ME

bump... anybody ?
 

a car trailer sure would be handy..... and a set of go jacks to move it around



FE 4 ME

That doesn't sound too happy Wayne... hope all is getting better, i guess on the upside it's not terminal... so a bit or R&R and some time to sit by your Ute to rest and reflect on what a great job you have been doing is my medicine prescription for you Wayne.... and if that isn't enough... 2 bex and get over it with a good night's sleep     


all the best mate

FE 4 ME

Things have certainly moved forward since i've been away for awhile... looking mighty neat, mighty nice and i'm sure you must be feeling very excited with the progress on the final straight

Wishing and thinking of you and Mez, Predo
