Have been lurking for a while. I have a Green/Beige FC wagon that I bought off a mate in September. 8 years in the shed, add battery & fuel & away she went. It is all original body & trim. Engine is out of an FB/EK. Its had some dodgey repairs over the years, but should tidy up. Pics to come.

I am doing the brakes at the moment. Bit of a long project, but getting it to go AND stop will be a milestone.

Here she is. Fresh out of the shed. Has not seen daylight for 8 years.



After a bit of a tidy up, into the stable with the Inter. I picked up another bonnet for her yesterday.

Thanks Fellas. The Inter was a bit of a hack. As of most utes, had the farmer/tradie treatment. I can't claim the bodywork/paint. It is a early 50's AL110. Not as much line production info as the Holdens. I did get some rubbers from Scotts. Another bloke had a bit of trouble finding things from them, as well as a bit of poor customer service. I had to go between Inter & Dodge/Fargo to get it all. TJ Richards made the cabs for Inter & Dodge. In mid 1954, the Inters went to single windscreen. Restoration Specialties in the States did cab mounts, & some other bits that weren't cab window related. (US cabs are different).
Great forum,  Wink
