G'day Smiffy60,
Good original ones are hard to come by I have a nos one that's never been fitted and it has already very light pitting, rare spares are doing new tailgate badges.

Hey Boothy,
 I have not heard of anyone doing glass guards of late but I do remember someone was doing them many moons ago they do pop up every now and then, I'm having no luck keep getting pipped at the post but I'm patient as I'd rather original untouched ones anyway good luck.

G'day all,
I'm after a p/s wheel spat same as the one pictured below, also here is a list of parts I require for my project any help or leads appreciated.
FE special front sedan doors and interior door trims.
FE front guards.
FE wagon stainless moulds for the roof gutter.
Front windscreen stainless trims.
FE sedan rear door stainless moulds p/s & d/s.
FE special glove box lid with badge.
FE speaker grille.
Panic straps.
I'm in Sydney but willing to travel if need be thank you.
 

Yeah I got them off fatboy but I really like the look of haydns van with the bailey windows got to have options🤔 Thx Haydn I'll see how I go

G'day all, I'm chasing side widows for my van (see pic below) I believe they are baileys conversion ones, I have got the canopy industries ones but I like the look of the baileys windows better and need them for the direction I'm going with this van now, any help or leads will be great thanks I also need station wagon rear side glass and the stainless gutter moulds for an fe wagon, front guards and front doors, fe special front door trims. thanks Darren

thanks Haydn, I just wanted to confirm my suspicions on what I could see once again thanks for your help.

going through some old pics thought I'd share a couple.
for the sydney siders this is parklea markets and yes she survived and was still there when we got back many a car went missing there!

and at Grechys place my fc and ziggys fe




a fc ute I had

Here's a few oldies my first fc still cruisin

An fe I had named stroll'n 57 if you know the song you'll understand the name

An fe I bought off a good mate Paul Grech which he named born too late should of kept that one mint body

and as for the fe van I have now not sure I'll have to wait to see as she comes back to life 

I meant say the side hinges lock I not sure how to edit once the post is done 

G'day Haydn,
thank you so much for your help I can work with what you have given me, quick question does the hinge lock in place? and I notice where the strap is screwed it has two screws is it just block under that area to support the higher screw or does a piece of timber make the frame the full width? and the same for the hinges as I wouldn't think they would have used such a thick timber base to screw into? its pretty much what I thought it would be as things were done quite simply back then but without having the original pieces and limited info it can be very hard to make correct as I said earlier not sure of my vans history, was it just a van with windows and someone had a fixed seat in the back? simple times people did what they had to do to get by I guess we'll never know unless there was another conversion where they left that brace in but I doubt it so I'll make my own piece of history thanks again Darren.

Sorry Haydn your FE  fingers are faster than brain sometimes!

Haydn here's a pic of the window, your FC looks good I like your colours, thanks for your help Darren.

Thanks for the reply Haydn, if you could give me some measurements that would be great, I can make the seat I just need sizes and good pics of the mechanism to do so and measurements of the location in the rear floor, I was told it had an old plywood type seat in the back but all the ones I've seen have the front floor brace removed and my van still has it in place?(see pic) not sure of its history I have a pair of canopy industries side windows which fit the hole, and it looks like it had hand straps on the pillars and with the special badge on the rear quarter I can only assume that it was a vanette? or what ever they called them thanks Darren.

Hi Billy,
 thanks for the reply I'm after the mechanisms for the panel van rear seat conversion they did back then that folds under the rear floor like the pic uploaded. thanks Darren.

G'day All,
I'm after a fold down rear seat for my panel van, any condition or just the side mechanisms will be fine also after the gutter moulds for a fe wagon also front guards and doors any leads would be great thanks Darren.

G'day All,
Chasing standard sedan front doors, and guards for my van project thanks.

G'day All,
 I'm chasing the stainless roof gutter moulds for a fe wagon thanks.

Thanks Pete,
 I had my idea on how we were going to do it, always good to get another opinion by someone who has done it, just a little bit harder when you don't have all the parts and yes I agree that rare spares have picked up their game since last time I bought replacement panels.
thanks again
Darren

G'day all, looking at starting repairs to the sub frame front tie rail, I have the 3 pieces from rare spares the two corners and one front piece, my question is, the corner pieces the bumper bracket holes are offset compared to the original frame, the holes are in line on the original but the replacement pieces the front hole is higher by about 10mm, I don't have any bumper brackets to look at, are the front holes elongated on the brackets? would like to hear from anyone who has used these replacement sections any help would be much appreciated.
thanks darren

thanks guys very helpful
