i got the car in Rockingham though its been all around WA judging by the receipts in the folder the car came with Title: Re: new west aust member Post by: mcl1959 on May 13, 2008, 11:03:13 PM My 3 tone FC came from Denmark. It also had DE number plates which was a weird WA thing where the cars from the towns throughout WA were given plates coded to that town.

came away with a bit of a list some small rust repair needed underside uni joints flexi brake lines front and rear rear spring shackle bushes and rear tyres not too bad for a 50yr old car i guess Title: Re: new west aust member Post by: customFC on May 16, 2008, 10:22:46 PM That's a good list concidering they would have all needed to be done in the near future anyway.
Congrats on getting 1 step closer......the list is now defined. Regards Alex Title: Re: new west aust member Post by: surferboy on May 18, 2008, 09:43:47 PM Gday Sean
