I hope that worked

Sure did...

Sweet looking wagon!

Now that you've mastered the pic thing, how about some more pics and info?  :)

cheers, jack

Very clean looking wagon.
...and congrats on mastering the pic thing.

The Car was a 1957 FC Holden, it was rebuilt about 14 years ago now.
Was a very long process might I add. There are photos from start to finish of the car so I'll upload a few more.
When I rebuilt it we bought the 'OLD FC' number plates, which we thought was a nice touch.

How it was when I got it

The seat i recovered in all black, I can't think of much else to add at this point..

Jeff,

That is a very nice looking wagon that you have there, looks great from the photos

Well done

Keith

Gotta love a nice wagon ;D
Cheers

Jeff

Nice car.

What running gear does it have?

Noticed the lack of a clutch pedal so Auto is obviously installed.

Pearled Steering wheel also looks great.

Well done

Craig

Hey Jeff (?)
FC's were not released till May 6 1958, so your FC can't be 1957.
Use the decoder on this site to find out more about your cars details.

ps. always nice to see someone create such a nice car in the shed at home.

that looks like one sweet ride Simon Addison

Love the look of the FC wagons... :D

What sort of steering wheel is that?? ???

It look like a pearl craft one a mob advertises in unique cars well use too that i know of.

Gents,
Pearl Craft produce the most magnificent restored and pearlised wheels that you can imagine.
A young lady that frequents this forum (NosFEratu ) has the honour of having not one but two of her (and her better half) steering wheels showcased on the Pearl Craft (www.pearlcraft.com.au/) web site. 


regards

Weddo

Oh Cripes, let's hope she doesn't see this thread  ::)  :P

BTW, they actually can't "restore" the wheels to original black but supposedly can tone down the pearl effect.

Cheers Fchoon. I think I have a Pearlcraft steering wheel too, but didn't know what make it is.

OI! And exactly what is wrong with Weddo calling me a "young lady"? just cos neither word describes me accurately........  :D

Actually....... Wayne at Pearlcraft can (and will) do steering wheels to straight black if you really want them but if you're doing a two tone pearl wheel he prefers to do a black tint over a black pearl.   :)  And yep, they're one of my most favourite things on both the cars  :D :D

yep, easy to pick who has pudding already...  ::)

;D
