cheers Title: Re: A New Addition To The Stable Post by: WARATAH on March 25, 2012, 09:25:18 AM Hi All,
Thanks for the kind remarks. The car was from the Shannons Auctions Fchoon. I had been looking for a good fc or fe for quite a while so I could join the FE FC Car Club. When this one came up my son who has the blue fc in the picture and is a member of the NSW Club knew the car and highly recommended. It has not disappointed it is a real nice car with very little to do to make it perfect. That work has already begun. I have had the EJ for just on three years and it is fully restored. It is a Hydromatic and drives very well. Trouble is now which car to drive. Once again thanks to all forum members who posted their kind remarks.

originally owned by kel from singleton radiators? Title: Re: A New Addition To The Stable Post by: WARATAH on March 25, 2012, 07:40:00 PM Hi fchoon,
I purchased the EJ Approx October 2009 from Peter Wiills from Macquarie Hills in Newcastle. I believe he got the car from Brook Bodiam in April 2009. Brook bought the car as you say from Kell Smith of Valley Radiator Repairs in Singleton. I understand he got it from a deceased estatewhen he was 16 as his first car and after a short period of time put it in a shed as he purchased a V8 Holden. The EjJ was not driven much after that. I was able to track down all the owners as a result of Brooks add in the Just Cars Magazine and speak to them all one by one when I first got the car. I would be pleased if you could provide any further ihistory on the car. When I got the car it did not have any of the extra's and it had wide wheels. I restored it back to standard specs. redid the motor, transmission and diff. It drives like a new car now.I look forward to any info you may be able to provide Waratah Title: Re: A New Addition To The Stable Post by: FCRB26 on March 25, 2012, 08:25:13 PM I dont have much history but kell is more than willing to have a chat a really nice bloke singleton smash painted the car I was talking to brooke today about the car.
i will be seeing kel thru the week to get my radiator flushed ill grill him for info. Pete Title: Re: A New Addition To The Stable Post by: WARATAH on April 01, 2012, 08:49:00 PM Hi Pete,
Thanks for the reply. I had a chance to speak to Brooke when I first got the EjJ and he gave me some of the history and the previous owners name and phone numbeI still have a photo of Brooks black ute on my computer. Has he finished it yet? Would love to hear from him again. Dennis Title: Re: A New Addition To The Stable Post by: RET on April 02, 2012, 12:49:47 AM Great photo, Dennis.
