(http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v260/fc_58-59/ute_1.jpg) A few hours later, the front end was out, and the subframe off. Currently it is at the powder coater... Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Fast_Eddie on July 09, 2004, 07:12:16 AM Progress on the wagon project has suffered as a result, however the subframe and full underfloor has been sandblasted

After that is done, a good coat of stone-guard shall hide the patch nicely.

Doubt it shall make the 2005 Nationals - maybe the ones after that? It's got the narrowed Ford 9" sitting under the back, and I've put together the CRS HR front end and steering rack, basically to get it rolling when I recently moved. Maybe sending the front end to Rod's Racks for modification for better steering lock. It doesn't seem too impressive at the moment. The whole floor, inside and out, and the subframe have been blasted, as has the front sheetmetal. (http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v260/fc_58-59/V8.jpg) Note the obvious colour change between the grey top coat on the door, and the grey etch primer on the guard. How anyone could ever say they look the same is beyond me. ;D That's the Merc to the right. Don't ask...... All I'll say is that I never want to hear anyone complaining about the cost of FC parts...... Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Burnsy on July 09, 2004, 08:59:18 AM I don't know about those grey differences being obvious but what does appear to be obvious is that you have far more than your fair share of shed space :o
I think it is obvious that I am envious :D Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Phantom on July 09, 2004, 09:11:14 AM Yes noy fair Eddie send me half of your shed immediately!
Jealous Phantom Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Emu on July 09, 2004, 06:55:14 PM Jealous!!
I'd kill for "A" Pillars like those! :( On the other hand......... I wouldn't mind bad pillars if I had a shed like that to work on 'em. Emu - Joining the ranks of the Jealous Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Emu on July 09, 2004, 06:56:37 PM Phantom,
Where would you put half of that shed?? You'd need a 5 acre block for the slab!! Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Sarge on July 09, 2004, 07:34:30 PM Emu
I wish you had a shed like that too, but sadly this I cannot fix. As for your "A" pillar's give me a week & your's will be like new. ;) Regards Sarge Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Ed on July 09, 2004, 10:39:51 PM oh wow. :o

Funny you should say that. I was recently at a bloke's shed that was full to the rafters with interesting bits and pieces, cars etc. I thought to myself, "I could really help this guy out, and buy lots of great stuff from him, to help him clear his shed, so he could fit more stuff in......" I heard the same guy recently just couldn't fit another FE wagon in his shed...... ;D Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Phantom on July 10, 2004, 01:00:56 AM Thats easy Emu i have half an acre here just take the house away and viola half an acre of shed
Rusty Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: FC0058 on July 10, 2004, 08:44:09 AM The Trouble n Strife & Myself are currently looking to buy a house.
Well ok I am looking to buy a workshop and the wife is after a sewing & craft studio, must have a bedroom, bathroom & BBQ So far we have managed to find one or the other but not both. Eddy great workshop I was wandering where you managed to keep and work on all your cars. cheers Jim Title: Re: Organised Chaos Post by: Fast_Eddie on July 11, 2004, 05:26:17 AM Jim & Ed
The workshop is not at home, it is in the back of a small industrial building near where I live, in Sydney. I get down there ever second weekend or so, and occassionally after work, however it is a bit cold at the moment. In a couple of years I'll build something at my house, but the current set up is great, as being in an industrial area, I can bang, grind, weld, paint etc etc to my heart's content, with no grief from the neighbours.
