Title: Just Introducing myself. Post by: jwm on November 06, 2012, 05:51:30 PM Hi guys, just joined your forum and thought that I should introduce myself. The name is John Murray, or jwm, and I live just outside of Nowra. I'm an old retired bastard at 62 years of age and in an endeavour to try to recapture my youth (where did I leave that), I have just bought myself an FE Business Sedan. All of the work is done on this old girl and there are just a few things that I want to change/modify to suite my own taste/needs. As they say, growing old is compulsory, growing up is not.
I know some of the build/owner history of the car but would appreciate any additional information if anybody has any. I bought the car from Wollongong and that is apparently where it was initially built about 8 years ago. The car is running a mildly worked 305 chev, 307 heads, 600 holley, T350 box with 1800 stall, 10 bolt rear, HR front with P76 stubbs, HZ discs, VS booster and a full Hadfield chassis. I had an FX, FC, EK, GTR Torana, etc etc etc in my much younger days, all of which were modified. Sorry, no pics, they all went with one of the ex's. My last weekend car was a WRX but that was sold to finance yet another property settlement. Motorcycling has consumed most of my spare time and dollars for the last 20 years but I'm not spending as much time on the bike as I once was and I thought I needed something to console me in my old age.
