Title: Finally Registered Post by: fcfromscratch on November 24, 2003, 12:25:55 PM Hi Team,
you've all been entertaining me and helping me complete my "fcfromscratch" over the last couple of years... lots of valuable input on my questions and several bits and pieces have made their way WEST by Australia Post....for that I say thankyou!! well I've finally got the ol' girl on the road, all legal like...I've shown some photos to the WA club folks as they were beginning to wonder whether this car really existed...so here's some for you guys....

Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: fcfromscratch on November 24, 2003, 12:36:30 PM thanks Trev,
it's not concourse by any stretch, but should be a very nice looking daily driver..... quite a few little trim things to finish off.....but the best thing is that all the HR mods I've done have been successfully permitted my "retro" plates for the car will read "XFC 202" in black lettering on white background.... I'm after some chromed wheel trims for the black rims to supplement the HR caps.....and I think I'm getting whitewalls for Christmas ;D You can see I need to find some seat surrounds as well.....particularly the uprights..... oh well, it's been nearly 5 years so far, a few more weeks/months won't hurt....there's a big swap meet next weekend, I'll see what I can find there.....haha Brad Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: RET on November 25, 2003, 01:42:16 AM Great work, Brad. She looks great.
I hope it brings you many years of enjoyment. cheers RET Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: graham_fuller on November 25, 2003, 02:06:56 AM Hey Brad,

but shouldn't the subject be Finally Completed ? :) Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: fcfromscratch on November 25, 2003, 08:06:44 AM well Stinky,
I was gonna change that last night but forgot to....haha Brad Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: mcl1959 on November 25, 2003, 10:53:55 AM Love the white/white interior - cant remember seeing that done before 2 such good effect. Why not get a set of FB/EK seat surrounds - will look good painted up to match the seats.
Ken Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: ChrisB on November 25, 2003, 11:02:32 AM Hi Brad,
Well done and I like that colour combination Cheers ChrisB 8) Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: fcfromscratch on November 25, 2003, 01:01:19 PM Thankyou guys...but like I said, it wouldn't be where it is today without this forum to lean on...
Ken, I was going to do FB-EK seat surrounds but unfortunately I had the upholstery done about 2 years ago and didn't realise that those seat surrounds don't go as far up as the plastic ones....so the rear corners of the seat uprights haven't been "finished" as they were supposed to be covered all the way......I could get the seat back re-done (got enough vinyl to do 2 more cars yet) but the upholsterer isn't around anymore.....there are others, I know, but they'd be playing with someone else's work and you know where that leads....haha I like 2Brite's finish where the FB-EK surrounds have been clad in the same material as the seat fabric.....looks real cool.....onya 2Brite!! I'm hoping to get the rims done in the same green as the car (these are the brand new HR rims from R.O.H.) and then, chrome trims....and whitewalls........ regards....Brad Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: 2brite on November 26, 2003, 10:08:17 AM Congrats Brad
The car looks a treat,can't wait to see it in the flesh, Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!! Regards Nunzio Title: Re: Finally Registered Post by: fastjbav6 on November 26, 2003, 02:38:37 PM Good to see another Fine Classic back on the road, this must be a very Special moment for you.

it belonged to the guy I bought the FC from...he had switched his attention to that car instead of the FC... so, sorry Trev, no more pics of that one, I was more interested in FC's at the time.... Brad |
