Title: FC Ute - On road or road ready Post by: Philby on January 23, 2005, 10:45:14 PM Hi All,
I'm looking for a registered or registrable FC Ute and have a few questions. I know to look for rust in the sills and the pan under the driver/passenger feet but that's about it. Does anyone have advice or know of a good condition orig or restored FC ute preferably around Canberra/Sydney? I'm happy to do some work on it if required, however, I need it on the road soon.

Thanks for the email. The Ute sounds good and being in Canberra is a bonus. I'm interested in seeing some pics. The best email to send them to is philmendl@optusnet.com.au Cheers, Phil Title: Re: FC Ute - On road or road ready Post by: Philby on February 02, 2005, 10:01:32 AM Hi All,
I'm still looking for an FC Ute but there seems to be none around. I'll consider any other utes now and am willing to look at anything from an 48-215 to an EH. Cheers, Phil :) philmendl@optusnet.com.au Title: Re: FC Ute - On road or road ready Post by: fe2ek on February 02, 2005, 10:24:50 AM It might take longer than a week to find a good ute.Also look for rust in the rear floor under the timber base,under the rear window,around the petrol tank and then look everywhere else.

What's your budget? Ed Title: Re: FC Ute - On road or road ready Post by: Philby on February 10, 2005, 01:07:21 PM Hey Ed,
Budget at the moment is around $5,000 give or take a few. Trying to sell a FZR600 motorcycle to further fund the ute or maintenance/repairs. But will still consider anything up to a max $10,000 if it's a beauty. I am also considering FX, FJ, FE and EK Utes. Cheers, Phil Title: Re: FC Ute - On road or road ready Post by: Philby on February 25, 2005, 05:15:56 AM Hi All,
I think I have found the perfect ute however I'm not going to buy without viewing it and I don't think it will last long. Anyone in Newcastle/Maitland area who is prepared to view a car and provide feedback to me? (without buying it yourself :)) A couple of cases of beer in it for you!! I know it's a long shot and I don't think I know any of you yet but this may get me to the Nationals as a fellow owner but not yet member of a club.

I've got a EK ute, been sitting in shed for about 10 years, no rust, very straight, original, but the stupid old bloke who had it before me give it a repaint in enamel. Not sure what its worth, but would consider selling to fund other project.....
