Title: one looong project Post by: ralphwigam1998 on January 17, 2009, 09:44:00 PM Hi I have been reading in this forum for a while now and decided it was time to show my very much missed fc special sedan. I have owned her for quiet a while now but unfortunately about 4 yrs ago I had to put her into storage for what I thought was about 12months. I am now over 1200kms away and hoping to collect her later in the year again.

Thats a nice looking Station Sedan you have there, handsome colour scheme too. What plans do you have for her..........stock or modified? Title: Re: one looong project Post by: mc54 on January 18, 2009, 04:20:12 AM I agree, that is a nice looking car. Welcome.

Pedro Title: Re: one looong project Post by: ralphwigam1998 on January 18, 2009, 02:26:35 PM I got her about 12 yrs ago, I had just decided i wanted to get a fc and being young and impatient brought a wagon shell in fairly bad condition. About a week later someone walking past and seeing the shell in the yard told me of another wagon they knew of for sale so I went to have a look. The guy selling it had been using it as his daily driver for years but it had a gearbox problem now and he was to busy trying to finish a fj to worry about the fc. Being in much better condition than shell I had just got and with a gearbox at home now it was at my place the next day!! The shell was stripped of all parts and I got rid of that(was probably beyond my skill level at the time anyway).
I was originally going to go the red motor route but seeing how good a car I had i have this far kept it original. With a couple of young kids now I will probably be making a couple of safety related mods( seatbelts and brakes ).

Go the stock route. The value is there :D. |
