Title: Gday Everyone Post by: copper1 on January 24, 2013, 07:52:41 PM Hi everyone I have just joined this Forum due to purchasing a 57 FE from up Newcastle way. She is not a bad looking old girl and requires just a small tidy up of a few things. Before getting the FE I owned a 56 FJ was sad to see her go but, I was always after either an FE or FC. You guys on the forum have a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to seeing some of you out on the road. I am a member of the Milton Ulladulla Vintage and Classic Car Club and have been for some years I have held office as Events Director and President. Regarding my FE I am chasing a set of mudflaps and the rear window trim joiner don't know if anyone can help? Anyway look forward to many more posts.
Regards Gazman Title: Re: Gday Everyone Post by: FCRB26 on January 24, 2013, 08:06:59 PM Hi Gazman Welcome
Shes a lovelly old girl Luke looked after her. I looked at it at edgeworth also it was listed on the forum. As for rear mudflaps there was a person selling them on the forum also they were available from a few sellers on ebay all have NASCO embossed. The joiner on the rear im sure there will be many members able to help you. Or i have a few contacts if they all fail. Once again welcome PETE Title: Re: Gday Everyone Post by: mcl1959 on January 24, 2013, 08:07:25 PM Welcome Gazman, nice looking FE. Anymore photos to share?

Title: Re: Gday Everyone Post by: ridgey_didge on January 27, 2013, 09:54:51 PM I don't believe it - I have just come home from a week in exactly that part of the coast. I didn't bother going to the markets, because I thought it was just markets, and now I find out there was a car display!!!!
I think this is a car that lived in Canberra before going up to Newcastle, and I had a good look at it then. I could never get the owner to join our local club, so don't know any more than that about it's history. Enjoy driving her - she's a beauty (as someone once said). Cheers David Title: Re: Gday Everyone Post by: copper1 on January 28, 2013, 08:30:41 PM David, what a shame you could not make it, as it get's bigger every year we had some members with their XU1's from Sydney come down and the Austin 7 club also joined us as well, we fill the whole carpark fronting the beach. Yep that sounds like the car Luke the previous owner told me it came from Canberra and previously from Melbourne thats about as much as I know.

Welcome to the forum, nice to see you're utilising the help that these generous people have to offer. All the best mate, Luke. PS: I wanted to update my advert to "sold to a good home", but I couldn't post to the thread. Title: Re: Gday Everyone Post by: copper1 on January 31, 2013, 02:18:23 PM Hey Luke, yep sold it to a good home. After the Aussie day display I have a bloke wanting to use the car for a wedding in Feb he rang this morning. I was then I approached by someone wanting to see if she was for sale I just laughed at him and said you have got to be kidding I have only had her for a couple of weeks he could not believe that he never saw her for sale. To bad so sad I say ;D ;D ;D
