Congratulations Brad, it looks good  It must have done some work, I've never seen an early Holden with that much paint worn off the inside top of a back door before. Cheers John |

Cheers John Thanks John It looks like someone started stripping it back hence why it appears patchy and worn. It has been shedded since 1982 according to last owner and the rego sticker |

Thats OK Brad,
Less work for me and there will be others. It also has a layback front seat in it.

Yes, if you want trimming Glenn is very good. Sorry I thought you were wanting to fix the seat mechanism.

I too can vouch for Glenn's work, When I saw what he did to Dean's (Smithy 59) car I asked him to do my upholstery too.
Although I haven't got it yet, the price is very competitive, and I am looking forward to getting the finished product which I am sure will be first class, if Deans' is anything to go by.

Just need respringing by the sound of it any motor trimmer should be able to perform this task ...OR you could go buy some springs and have a go not that hard to do once seat cover and padding is removed ......FC427......

Last I heard Glenn was really busy and can't take any new work for a month or three  but he does have some springs from an FB/EK seat that he is wrecking, you can also buy the "zig-zag" springs on a roll (which he has also) but they are a smaller profile to the original and a bugger to bend to shape. |

Thanks Brad,
Lucky you beat me on this one, as I have now found the FE panel van that I was missing from my collection.

Robin - is that the complete set or are there still one or two more gaps? Good things come to those who wait.... |

Yes it is the complete set, FE and FC 215, 217, 219, 225, 229, 2104 and 2106, plus a few spares, although they aren't all quite as they were when they left the factory and they are not all goers, yet. I like to keep the character of them if it suits the period. The van has side windows and a tilly type kit and is painted in 3 colours.
Stewy is right, I don't have an ambulance or police car, but my aim was one of each of the models. If it had a special use like the taxi or army car, that was a bonus. I would really like a PMG van as I used to work for Telecom/Telstra for almost 21 years and my brother worked for PMG/Telecom/Telstra for almost 40 years, but these are really hard to find and I am happy to have the cars I've got, but you never know what might turn up.
