Hi All,
Thanks for the kind remarks. The car was from the Shannons Auctions Fchoon. I had been looking for a  good fc or fe for quite a while so I could join the FE FC Car Club. When this one came up my son who has the blue fc in the picture and is a member of the NSW Club knew the car and highly recommended. It has not disappointed it is a real nice car with very little to do to make it perfect. That work has already begun. I have had the EJ for just on three years and it is fully restored. It is a Hydromatic and drives very well. Trouble is now which car to drive.
Once again thanks to all forum members who posted their kind remarks.

Hi fchoon,
I purchased the EJ Approx October 2009 from Peter Wiills from Macquarie Hills in Newcastle. I believe he got the car from Brook Bodiam in April 2009. Brook bought the car as you say from Kell Smith of Valley Radiator Repairs in Singleton. I understand he got it from a deceased estatewhen he was 16 as his first car and after a short period of time put it in a shed as he purchased a V8 Holden. The EjJ was not driven much after that. I was able to track down all the owners as a result of Brooks add in the Just Cars Magazine and speak to them all one by one when I first got the car. I would be pleased if you could provide any further ihistory on the car. When I got the car it did not have any of the extra's and it had wide wheels. I restored it back to standard specs. redid the motor, transmission and diff. It drives like a new car now.I look forward to any info you may be able to provide
