Just purchased

[dam-mad]

Hi, I'm new to the site but already have found it agreat resource.  Have always been a FC freak and owned a few in my younger years. Now married, kids and morgage just purchased another.  I guess you'd call it a mild custom, red motor, 4 speed, lowered with buckets.  Plan is to have repainted in almost stock trim, set of wheels and use it as a daily driver.  Have had the car stripped and only found some minor rust in two door corners.  So far very happy

Thanks Harko,

I bought the car of eBay and to tell the truth haven't seen it in the flesh.  Got a mate in adelaide who'd in the hot rod/drag racing scene who checked it out and said it appeared to be in good shape.  Paid $1800 and he closed the auction.  Told the wife I wanna buy a car, she rolled her eyes, I took that as a yes!!! Now what colour, red over white or blue over white mmmmmmmmm

so your the bugger who got it.
i was waiting for money from engine i had just sold to guy in Perth when it came up for sale,so had to miss out, my old lost one sold for $1800 as i cracked the head the same week i advertised it in 87 would have been very nice to get replacement FC for same dollars 16 years later
oh well

[dam-mad]

Hey nicko, it used to be red and white at some stage, maybe this was your lost fc 8)

crikies dont say that,
i sold mine to David reece Jones the footballers sister did you ask any of its history when you purchaced it, it still had only 47000 miles on it so would be less than 120,000 with moderate driving over last 15 years, also i installed driving lights on mine fitted behind the grill so would have extra two holes each side of radiator
