Title: My Two FC Utes Post by: paddockbasher on September 24, 2004, 02:18:35 AM Here's my two FC utes. About four months ago I found the green one(Herb) locally; missing glass,fuel tank and with badly dented front panels. Had been sitting for 3 or 4 years but with fresh petrol and battery roared into life. Was hoping to restore to a registered driveable condition.Unfortunately it has a severely rusted area around fuel tank and behind cabin. Local engineer suggested that it would be a proposition of months rather than weeks to fix so it has become my wood truck.
Slim who had been helping me with parts assisted me greatly in acquiring no 2 ute(tomato). I found an ad from January in Sydney advertising two utes. Went along with Slim and ended up with this ute. Slim was a true gentleman by paying half the money but allowing me to have much the better vehicle.No running gear but body is in great conditon including a retrimmed interior,good tonneau and mags. Had a HR front end and tunnel cut out for a transplant but I have decided to stay grey.My wife(who has christened them) is warmin to the idea of having two rather than cannibilising Herb.(http://photo.starblvd.net/wakems1/1-1-1-1097533917?m=1&pg=0&ro=0&co=0) (http://photo.starblvd.net/wakems1/t2-1-1-1097536272?m=1&pg=1&ro=0&co=0)(http://photo.starblvd.net/wakems1/t3-1-1-1097536436?m=1&pg=2&ro=0&co=0) Title: Re: My Two FC Utes Post by: Blown_FC on September 24, 2004, 02:24:34 AM A wife that warms to letting you have 2 FC's instead of 1....now that's a rare find !
Herb and Tomato huh? ...... Not vegetarians are we.......I guess a poo brown one could be called a Pumpkin ! Well done on the 2 utes ! Send more pics when you find a Pumpkin to add to the Herb and Tomato ! Cheers Mark Title: Re: My Two FC Utes Post by: paddockbasher on September 24, 2004, 04:47:23 AM Funny you should mention "pumpkin". Should have said "My three FC Utes". Below could be called pumpkin as it started my obsession.Probably a little bit overly ambitious to think I could ever have got it back on the road as well; however bits and pieces have steadily been migrating.
