Still can't work out how to do 2 things at once(Leave photo and talkies) but think Ive got it nutted out now. Any way these photo's are of the subframe That I found from early repairs that were done by previous owner to ongoing repairs to the end result of a rust free subframe.

Just a bit of catch up here found some more photo's of ongoing work[/img]

Fella's Fella's Fella's   If the missus has a whinge about the price of what its going to cost, tell her to get the bankcard statements out and really compare what it is going to cost for a rebuild (car) of course compared to what it cost to run the missus,bet you it goes very very quiet.
                     
                  They both cost the same (but one doesn't bite back as hard)

                                     I'll let you work out which one 

Hi I was wondering wether a full length roof lining out of a FC wagon would fit into a FC panelvan once I have welded the little bendy things that run down each side of the roof and put extra holes in for the hoops,   
          Thanks, steve

Thankyou very much graham I recieved the plans and will give them to a bloke and see what he thinks will get back to all on the end result, Thanks again, steve

Peter that is the best idea that has been put on the forum for a long time, I hope there is someone in Vic. who has got the same amount of companies that helped with their rebuilds because it would help me
out enormously. Great idea keep up the good work, Thanx, steve

Hi all I was told by a paint mixer at Preston Motors In Dandenong Vic. that they changed the colours to Police Blue in about 1975, think it was when the police cars were painted in the same colour which was a bit darker than the original.

Hi all can someone tell me what happened to P-VANS Van. The last post was 2008 Then he just dissapeared, something spooky with Vans that don't get finished on the forum, steve

Thanks frank I saw them on SBS & they were the next people I was going to see Thanks, steve

Hi all just asking a question on where I can get a panel folded for an FC Panel Van it is the skinny panel under the tailgate and between the spare wheel gate I have been to quite a few places and they say it is too difficult to make because of all the different folds in it. I am located near Dandenong Vic.Please help.

Wayne I also have got some good number plates for the Van I too will show them on here once I remember where they are, and how to put photo's on here again steve

Well done jamie watching your build is giving me some great hinters at my Van build not as good as yours but I will be happy just to get mine finished. Don't worry about all the photo's of things that don't look important to you they are for us on this side of the forum. steve

Great project wayne, Only one problem though, I thought I was reading my own post because your shed looks exactly like mine, Same bench covered in tools, Same concrete covered in oil & dirt & same size shed never ever enough room.Can't wait to see more Pics. Keep up the good work,  Steve (FCV8VAN)

Hi FE Steve I too am painting an FC Van in its original colour & had lots of trouble getting the right paint codes so I rang PPG in Clayton Vic. they gave me a code of A020 3541.2 / A129 3788.2 / A245 3841.8 / A150 3956.6 / A420 3988.9 / A135 4088.9       I got my paint supplier to make up a sample & it was perfect he also made up a sample of a code I got off the forum but it was too dark to be the original colour so I went with the codes I wrote here. Hope this helps you out, You can check out my van under FCV8VAN in projects forum hard too see colour properly but it is nice colour.

Hi all the colour is factory light blue,once I found out the right colour from dulux & ppg. The van will look original from the outside but the running gear will be black fuel injected VK motor with 5 speed which I have sitting in shed,but making it so I can easily convert it back to original running gear which I also have in shed. The next pictures hopefully will have commentary with them so I can show better shots.

Hi got 1 photo up went had smoke now having trouble again not real easyIMG]http://i872.photobucket.com]IMG]http://i872.photobucket.com[/url][/img] Sorry no commentry had enough trouble just getting photo's up but as you will see we moved house & got smaller shed but is big enough,lost 2 months moving so not much been done to car yet. Will try & work out how to do 2 things at once and will get more photo's with commentary up, better with tools than computer
