Regards Wayne b Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on July 26, 2012, 08:08:50 PM hey Wayne,
Good question,managed to keep hinges clear so it will still open and will make a shallow alloy box,,should fit the rego papers in!! Gonna make two slide out drawers/trays under the front bench seat for the bigger stuff. Got some ideas from you re your air con compressor and finally got ours fitted in neatly by fixing the bottom bracket with the compressor on it and tensioning the belt with the alternator .will try get you some photos on weekend for you Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on April 24, 2016, 07:33:45 PM (http://s1214.photobucket.com/user/Simo1970/media/IMG_3061.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1)

Ken Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: JB on April 25, 2016, 11:37:10 AM Does't look like it belongs in this section... Is it registered and finished or bits to go? Love the colour combo.
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: DJ on April 25, 2016, 01:34:20 PM Fast forward a few years!
It's a real head turner. Congratulations on such a beautiful achievement. The steering wheel looks terrific. Have you any photos of the interior? Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: RET on April 25, 2016, 02:20:23 PM Sweet. Very nice work, Simo.
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: fcwrangler on April 25, 2016, 02:50:56 PM That is one nice looking unit!!! The superlites look real neat and the paint is fantastic.
Well done. Jim Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on April 25, 2016, 06:03:33 PM Cheers guys, I will move it over to completed cars and get some more photos up,

Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on April 25, 2016, 09:11:31 PM sorry guys,really trying to post some more photos of start to finish but the whole photobucket thing doesn't get on well with the laptop,it let me put those couple of photos up but now it doesn't wanna know about it!!??
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: DJ on April 25, 2016, 10:34:04 PM Send them through & I'll post them if you like. dave.bolton@tpg.com.au
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on April 26, 2016, 06:29:25 AM Thanks Dave,I'll give it one more shot and if not I'll get an album together and pass them on
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: RET on April 26, 2016, 07:46:31 AM Simo,
Photobucket is utterly hopeless these days - it's a wonder they're still in business. Try imgur.com - very easy to create an account and creating an album is as easy as dragging and dropping your photos onto the page. Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: camxsmith on April 26, 2016, 11:55:51 AM Simo
I have put together some info on using IMGUR and posted it here.. ($2) If you need any help then sing out. Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Not Happy Jan on April 26, 2016, 03:56:16 PM Love the colour 8) 8)

Fantastic work on your FC, the old Vs the new pics's looks like a lot of time, $$$ and luv went into to build. I like your under dash section, with gauges and (Is that A/C) controls & vents, is this timber and did you relocate the handbrake?? No problem for leg room?? Great work Tim Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Longman on April 27, 2016, 08:25:55 AM Thanks for the pics Simo. Thats a beautiful colour scheme. The minilites suit it very well. Got an engine bay pic?
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: pbh0069 on April 27, 2016, 08:54:47 AM Looks fantastic , got to love that last photo ;D
cheers Phil. Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: FireKraka on April 27, 2016, 10:55:23 AM Hi Simo;
Mate love the colour combo would love to here more about your build and what the running gear is etc. It is great to enjoy them once we get them on the road 8) Regards Neil H Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: camxsmith on April 27, 2016, 08:30:33 PM Awesome car Simo Great to see the pictures got loaded for all of us to drool over and get a wee bit jealous.. ;D ;D
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Maco on April 27, 2016, 09:07:55 PM Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: NES304 on April 29, 2016, 05:31:25 PM I like your under dash section, with gauges and (Is that A/C) controls & vents, is this timber and did you relocate the handbrake?? Yeah what have you done with the hand brake and bonnet release? Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on April 30, 2016, 10:49:30 AM (http://i.imgur.com/8iBmHVOl.jpg) bolted the handbrake to the bottom of the fabricated fascia which is metal and fixed the hood release to the side pillar,no issues with leg clearance,we added a tacho ,oil pressure and temp gauges along with the vintage air vents and AC control panel
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on May 03, 2016, 05:50:41 AM Thanks for the comments guys and apologise for not been up to speed with the photos and posts, family,work and cars seem to take up any spare time now days!
The car has come up a treat and really have to thank my dad Bruno for all his hard work,it was all completed under his family home right thru to the painting which he applied also (spies Hecker) 2 pack The car now runs a fully rebuilt 202 which was sourced with a tri matic auto ,it had a specko floor shift in it when we found it but cut the tunnel out and fitted the bigger tunnel and auto, Also fitted the Hr front end with disc brakes with a Gemini master cylinder, Vintage Air supplied the Air con that fitted neatly up under dash ,we kept the bench seat and trimmed the inside in a pearl white marine fabric,the wheel was done by pearl craft in Bega We tried to keep the deep dish 13 inch rims that were on it in original photos but had clearance issues over the calipers so we settled on 15 inch Superlites,I think there is still some original photos on page 5 of cars under construction, Anyway we hope you all like her,my wife has christened her "Frankie" ,and we wouldn't change a thing,she cruises great and seems to make people smile whenever we drive her ,thanks again dad,it has been a long five years but so worth it... Simo Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Longman on May 03, 2016, 06:21:30 AM Nice. Any chance of an engine bay pic?
Title: Re: Simo FC Post by: Simo on May 04, 2016, 05:39:22 AM I'll get on to some engine bay pics for you over the next few days
