It's good to come to this site where there is always something to make you smile.

gday ret
ive sent my entry off and booked accom. in jindabyne. cathy and i will be staying the monday night ( us west aussies will need to attend delegates meeting so we can organize the w.a. nationals !!! ). so now im looking forward to the cruise to sydney with the nsw guys on tues.

p.s. are you sydney people uncivilized ??
ive been looking for a hotel in sydney near the bridge ,operahouse etc. that has a spa bathroom but cant find one . any helpful suggestions ?
                                 

Mike,  I had my alloy fuel tank custom made to fit the wagon ( the original floor had been modified to fit landcruiser tank ) & fitted by K & N Fabrications in Kelmscott. they do a lot of 4 x 4 conversions and tanks are police legal. my 60ltr tank cost $880.00

I'm to scared to mention the final price.










it was $4042.00


100 people with 100 different opinions.(thats what i like about this site , you definately don't get only one view of any topic ).
to add more detail to my original post (sorry to hijack your simple question fcphun ).
work was done by Mark B. at Mandurah auto recyclers. A club member with a very good reputation.
I left the wagon (my DAILY driver ) on his doorstep (without any warning)at 6.00pm wed. night last week as it broke down on the way home from Margaret River.It goes for police clearance tomorrow and i pick it up Fri.
what i got for my money.....173 blue motor,high compression,mild cam,electonic ignition,dual throat carby,auto choke,extractors,sump,heavyduty radiator,staight cut timing gear steel,b&m shifter.carpet, trimatic auto, 2 trans coolers,thermatic fan (&probably some stuff i cant remember).all fitted done & police passed. and i get tokeep the old grey(with brand new alt & rebuiltcarby) and the powerglide and anything else that was removed.

P.S.I dont do mechinical stuff. i'm the person who was told to find the engine no. near the distributor, but couldnt find it because the exhaust manifold was in the way !!!

gday fcphun,
ask 100 people whats the best conversion and you'll get 100 different answers !
i'm about to rip the old grey out of my FC,  i now tow a caravan with the grey & a 2speed powerglide but it's underpowered & keeps breaking down so its time for an upgrade.it already has hr front with torana discs
the two quotes i have (from mark b in mandurah w.a.)
$3700.   commodore blue 202
              trimatic auto
              heavy duty radiator
              tailshaft, exhaust....etc....all done finished
              & legal
$9950.   vn v6 & autotrans,  crossmember,chassis kit,computer harness , radiator etc etc.....all done & legal.
i will get extra work done so these prices will go up (carpets ,b&m shifter, and the usual problem of finding unknown hiccups until you start pulling things apart.)
the v6 would be nice but i havent won lotto yet. i dont have any mechanical skills so i have to pay mark to do ll my work for me.this way i know i'm getting a good safe legal conversion.
hope this is of some intrest to you

Hey Brad, can we convince Gemma to drive one of your cars & Cathy to drive the FC we just picked up then we'll have seven cruising across the Nullabor.  COOL

we had less sense than money.(now we have none of either)
Cathy has just driven home a bright yellow 57 FE (in FC disguise). it has 179 highperformance motor,4speed manual box, 14'' rims,HR frontend & discbrakes.
it used to belong to jezz but now its ours.
& Cathy.

sorry trev,
had to bring it back to the top again.
only a small glimpse of any FCs in issue48 (page57)
but i'm sure you'll agree theyre worthwhile checking out

ps i promise this will be the last time

back to the top again !  with issue47 page 40 the oz files.FE from SA
               

breaker breaker 1 9
kojak with a kodak
check out the good looking seat covers
lets eyeball after our cq
see you on the flip flop
           just practicing brad
                                                 

i hope so.        
or it could be a long walk home ( especially with the longboard tucked under my arm )
                         

gday guys
sorry .... but cathy knows how much i like shiny chrome bits so she bought me the surround. i went out drilled two holes in the front bumper & bolted it on.
                     I LIKE IT
the wagon looks naked without it
