Stash's FC Sedan

[Stash]

Can't claim any credit. My man Dave is the panel guru. But very happy man.

[Stash]

started pulling the seat apart this weekend.




all cleaned and ready for blasting:




3 broken "S" springs (well thats what i call them) explains a few things on the drivers seat.

[Stash]

thought this was a shame to chuck out. A bit of history

[Stewy]

Totally agree with the history bit  :)
Framed behind glass and straight to the pool room  :D

At least you have been able to get some work done, I've been cleaned up with the flu for the last week and haven't had much other time to do much of anything, although I managed to score some dragways. They need a clean up and rechrome, but that will come later on.
Keep up the progress and keep the photos coming.

Stash love the shiny new bits. Looks like great progress.

Hopefully you can find those missing bits.

Wayne, I think the missing bits have gone to some FC fanatic.
Such is life. Keep things moving in small steps.

 So when its ready, do you plan to mosey on over in the audi and chuck it in the boot too  :o :o ;D, or lay the seat forward and use the rear seat. just interested thats all.

I was thinking of replacing the V6 with the standard red and put the german beast in the FC... Not.

Seriously, John is happy to deliver to a workshop. Have engine stand ready.

I picked this up on the bay and will replace the old chromed rusty one:



EH diff has been stripped and ready for a dipping and rebuild:



special thanks to Jim (wrangler) for cutting out this piece. We will seen this blend into the body shortly.
