Title: In Geoff's shed Post by: customFC on February 24, 2010, 11:19:50 PM Called into Geoff Sheather's place the other evening to check on the progress of his FC. Geoff is burning the midnight oil to have the car ready for Orange and it was no surprise to find Geoff in the shed sorting out another piece of the buildup.
Here are some pics of Geoff's car to show everyone what a tidy little modified FC he is building from the ground up. Motor is a supercharged V6. (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y183/customfc5/Holden/IMG_4489.jpg) Hard to show the colour without natural lighting, but here's 2 shots, with flash and without.

When you are at the Nationals in Orange, be sure to check out Geoff's FC.

Title: Re: In Geoff's shed Post by: Old_Mt_Isa_Boy on February 25, 2010, 07:31:17 PM Geoff has a great project. The bucket seats and console look the part, as does the steering column.
Good luck getting ready for Orange. Regards Wayne Title: Re: In Geoff's shed Post by: RET on February 25, 2010, 07:32:29 PM Wow, looks sensational. Top job, Geoff.
