To anyone with a stock FE wagon:
I need some photos of the rear compartment interior (& tailgate) showing the various trims/linings etc. for a guide to what I should be aiming for.
Thanks.

Chris, the side panels are made of the same material that the front kickpanels are made from - painted in the same colour.  These are screwed on with the same screws and washers which hold the plastic surrounds on the front seat.
The floor area, back of the rear seat and tailgate is trimmed in a grey square pattern material with a hessian back.  It is a very heavy duty material.
The rear seat and tailgate have a metal trim which runs around the perimeter of them and is held in place by screws.
The rear floor material is glued in place.

Thanks Ken,
That is a very helpful guide for me to aim for. Got most of the metal trims you mention, but the hession backed fabric is not great in some areas.
Don't suppose any of that grey square pattern material is available these days?

Chris,
I have been watching this post also and taking all the advice on board, would you believe I saw one of those hessian backed rear covers on Ebay about 7 months ago and I didn't have a brass razoo to buy it  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes...it sold for $90.00 or abit over and it was in good condition too...something tells me that they are going to be rarer than rocking horse poo to find in good condition..
It was for an FE Wagon also...hmmm not too many of them around..wonder if they will read this post!!!

Now if we can get a few pics of a finished stock FE wagon to guide us that would please two of us  Grin

Here's a couple of cars, but no shots of the rear compartment. Mick in QLD has a beautiful FE Standard wagon, somoene may have a shot of this. Maybe Alex?

Hey guys...
I had a couple of shots of Mick's FE in my Nationals album, only 1 good-ish one of the back compartment though... But in saying that, the back compartments of an FE Standard could be different to an FE Special as they are in the FC wagons (as indicated in this post http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=pwntd;action=display;num=1129378045 )... not sure, but here they are anyway...





Hope that helps... rather than confused the issue more Wink
Cheers

Good on ya Les.

The compartment looks identical to the one in my FC Special wagon, but maybe the boards on the side are slightly different composition? I know that the tray material is exactly the same because I had a very good look at Mick's car at Jindabyne.

Here's my wagon's compartment.



Cheers,

Craig.

Here's another angle of Mick's interior in his standard wagon.
