FC Ute

[FCRB26]

Its running a toyota one with a SU on it ended up running very well towards the end but damm its not a very pretty thing.
Also the bonnet clerance was non existant as it was mounted on the passenger side hence the oky straps.

Ill try dig up some pics.

Took 30 years to grow that moss and you took the opportunity to cover it with a Mallaby sign. I like it!

At least one of em!

Pete, any updates on the body of the ute?

I'm with Wayne, about time you go to have a crack at some of your own stuff

[FCRB26]

I am trying to tee up with the blaster a day where its warm enough to do the body all the panels are ready to go the front clips all in under coat .

Really need to get the engine done so it can be primed and painted as well, still having a bastard of a time matching the paint colour i want but hopefully garry at autolac has it sorted now.
I am going to write a plan of attack.
all the stainless trims are at shine bright trims in qld so will be intresting to see what they come back like .
All chrome is ready to be shipped to VIC to A.A vinneys ?  a mate just got some back from VIC and it was rubish had to be re done so i will make sure its not the same mob first (which im sure its not )

Next is to strip everything and take to the powder coater.

I have 3 super charger manifolds to finish for people and a few other jobs then ill shut my foreign order books for a while. just cant seem to say no to people.

[NES304]

Make a manifold for the V8 (supercharger)!!

[JB]

NES's comment on the supercharger got me thinking... The yella terra fits the bill just nicely... May suit your build as well Pete.

[FCRB26]

mine should be about 420 rwhp so it would be pretty pointless i reckon.. ;D

[snuff69]

I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with the chrome from Vinney's Pete, the bumpers on my HK wagon were done there.  Very nice job.   Dave

[FCRB26]

Ok cool thanks dave.

Not overlly concerned on the price just want quality.
steven with the blown orange wagon swears by him so I shouldnt of even asked.

Yeah I was looking at them http://www.vpw.com.au/Category/Index/6857 but out of my (wifes) budget :'(

[fe350chev]

Looking good Pete.  ;)

[FCRB26]

Finally finished the engine off .
Measured and wrote down missing bolt sizes.
Arp intake bolts are to long for a harrop manifold.
ready to send the engine to get painted.
All panels get blasted next thursday.
Finally some progress again.

[DJ]

Mind blowing project, far beyond my capabilities, looking forward to the next update.

[FCRB26]

Thanks DJ
I just have to finish it no more mods.
Someone has put the idea in my head to 4 link it which i really didnt want to do thanks JB :D
But i think i will run with the leafs for the time being otherwise it will just snowball for another 12 months..

[JB]

Yeah, just think of all of that horsepower lost through the leafs... Lucky you have loads to spare hey lol!!

The engine does look pretty neat.

As for another 12 months, we know what you are capable of when you want to do something  ;D
