Now all u need to do is move u and your FC to Australia and u could almost be considered normal!! I suppose u'd still have thet sully exsint though. Hey Craig A, have I mentioned how much I like that moving gif thingie u did for our Kiwi? mmmm I must say his new one has made me downright jealous! I would up that beer I owe u to a full case of Crownies for one like that. ;) ;) Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: Emu on November 03, 2003, 10:31:09 AM Actually Kiwi, that is a very nice acquisition?
How long has it been in that shed? I like the history u have with it. The experts say that it doesn't really add value to an FE/FC having a history, but I know I'd rather own a car with a little story to go with it. Good job. Looking forward to the progress shots of its assembly. What time frame are u looking at? Will we see it at the nationals? Australia by 20+ over Scotland. New Zealand vs ?????? Oh who cares? Emu Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: zulu on November 03, 2003, 12:41:19 PM Yeah, Looks like a good starting point Kiwi, I wish our records had been as well kept as New Zealands appear to have been.
When I saw the red seats I thought they had been fitted at a later date. It's good to know it's original, that would be a very rare car, even more so now that you have it's lineage. Gary Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: kalfe on November 04, 2003, 08:21:35 AM nice bus craig
thanks for emailing them. hey nice looking horn button by the way kalfe Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: mcl1959 on November 04, 2003, 09:35:45 AM Great stuff kiwi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the body number history, would you be able to find out how many fe's were built in NZ. Some things that look different apart from the paint colours. The dash top is painted blue, not black The column support is blue not black the car is a late 59, but appears to be painted in 58 colour scheme and with 58 chrome, not 59 chrome. Can you confirm the kiwi I would be keen to find out if these differences were from the factory in NZ. Love to chat more about your new find. Ken Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: ACE on November 04, 2003, 10:15:22 AM Hi KiwiFC,
I was told NZ FCs were painted in acrylic lacquer, do you know if this is true? ACE 8) Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: -KIWI- on December 23, 2003, 07:24:39 AM the fc at home let the fun begin ;D ;D ;D :-[ :-[

I see by the date one the photos you have had the car for almost 2 years. Can we get a couple of updated photos or is it that you have not quite worked out modern technolagy and the date is wrong. Cheers Jim Title: Re: kiwi ek is now kiwi fc as well Post by: -KIWI- on December 23, 2003, 06:00:58 PM thanks jim but kiwi = techowizzz NOT everytime i go to reset the time it bloody dosent accept that im in 2003
