Blinker surrounds gone.

Sorry Glenn they’ve gone already but I do have 3 unchromed headlight surrounds if your interested (2 are painted red , I had them on my sedan, and one is the original pale green, one of the red ones has a small amount of damage, just a couple of deep scratches from memory) all 3 for same price as the blinker surrounds plus postage mate.

Neil

Hi Brett
Could you PM me a photo of the heater please

I agree with you Clay the forum needs to be keep alive so that all the great info doesn’t get lost and can be referred to as needed.

Hi Mark
Thanks for the PM, colour looks great from what you said it is going to turn out really great, I’m glad you are taking it to the next level mate as I wish I had the time to have done.
Keep the photos coming.

Neil

I use VN VP tanks as they’re metal and easy to move filler neck etc I believe the later ones were plastic.
I use them as Clay says because of the V6s that I have fitted and I can use the standard in tank fuel pump makes parts cheaper. Even with these tanks you have to put the exhaust up and over the diff and in between the spring and body to keep it away from the side of the tank.
I probably have some photos if anybody was interested 😜

Hi Rod
Yes the Dye Crack checking sprays are quite good we use them on our Diesel engine stuff and large turbo charger turbines however the results you get can be a bit open to interpretation if you really want a definite yes or no the Magnetic Particle crack checking is the way to go.
Good luck with the engine rebuild.

Hi mate you can buy Dye penetrant crack detecting sprays ones we use in my workshop are 4 part (4 different spray cans) just follow the directions and they are pretty simple to use.

Hi I have some FC parts I no longer need
a front bench seat (red and white) was reupholstered but has small damage on passenger side top
Bonnet
Blue back seat
a couple of radiator supports
a commercial painted grill and backing frame, great for chroming as has never been
a pair of FC commercial front blinker surrounds, same deal as the grill
a number of bumperettes in varying condition
FC Ute rear glass (I think)
there are probably some other bits and pieces I have forgotten
I'm in WA give me a call to discuss prices I'm negotiable

Hi Pete great to see you getting a bit done on your ute, the build on your ute was part of the inspiration for the build of my EK Ute great work as always.
Love the fuel tank mate, what is the capacity and would you manufacture for sale if requested, I'm building an FB wagon now and need a tank 😜😂😂

I've got one Wayne but I'm in WA

All I can say is WOW absolutely amazing work.

I think you are looking for a unicorn mate, these cars are over 60 years old and you are not going to find one in perfect condition for the money you are talking, there's been plenty in your price range that you have been told about that would have made great daily drivers.

There is a red FC for sale over here in WA asking $20K looks pretty good.
Have a look on Gumtree WA says it has a recon grey in it.

Congratulations NSW Club
