Another great owner done resto job. Looking forward to seeing it up close. Regards Alex Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Ed on May 26, 2006, 08:52:50 PM Hey Leon,
Was wondering the other day what happened to the FE from Trundle thread. the last pics I saw were the guards etc stripped. hubcaps? Nice resto Cheers Ed Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Penguin on May 26, 2006, 09:18:15 PM Great job Leon! The car looks fantastic. I actually like it with no hubcaps and the whitewalls. All you need to do now is drop it a couple of inches lower ;)
Regards, Ben. Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Wayne on May 26, 2006, 09:38:00 PM HI All
I have seen the car close up and it looks a LOT Better than the photo shows. Leon great work on the car should be really proud of it. WAYNE Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: COL58FE on May 27, 2006, 06:09:19 AM leon,
that is a work of art as an actor once said from(running on empty),now it nearly finished and you get bored in know where there is an fe unfinished project ;D.great job there i only hope mine come's up like your's. cheer'col. ;) Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: leon on May 27, 2006, 07:12:39 AM G Day and thanks to all who responded to this thread.
Its been a while though and at the moment I'm having the upholstery done by John Denniss. The original upholstery was not the best. I found an upholstery supplier in the USA and got the closest match possible to the original and it comes very close. Once this is done and I put the hud caps on and a few other things plus rego then it is finished. I think around August.(I hope). Again thanks fellows. ;) Regards. Leon Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: leon on May 27, 2006, 07:16:56 AM :)Here is another photo.

I have been waiting for this moment for a while, I knew you would do a fantastic job. The car looks very nice, it certainly will be strange to see you driving something with blinkers ;D Is it the same colour as your standard? See you at AHD. Cheers, Craig. Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Brad on May 27, 2006, 08:44:47 AM Hello Leon.
That is just f*in beautifull. work like this is worth it's weight in gold I reckon. any chance of a pic of the engine bay ( the heart of the beast) :). Brad. Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Martin on May 27, 2006, 01:38:24 PM That's one very nice looking FE, Leon. Congratulations. Bet you can't wait to drive it full time.
Martin Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Rusty_T on May 27, 2006, 01:56:42 PM ;) ;)
Leon, Each photo you take of the car makes it look better and better. Yep you've done a great job.Hope my wagon turns out looking as good. Rusty Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: TAYZ on May 27, 2006, 02:14:07 PM Leon,
Your FE looks sensational!! Looks as though some long hours have gone into the resto, cant wait to see it at Mt Gambier. Have you thought about dropping it an inch or 5?? (just kidding!!) TAYZ Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Johns on May 27, 2006, 11:26:00 PM Looks fantastic Leon :)
Look forward to seeing more pics. Cheers John Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: RET on May 28, 2006, 05:55:17 AM Leon,
Looks gorgeous, mate, obviously a lot of hard work gone in there. Can't wait to see the finished product. cheers RET Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: Theo on May 28, 2006, 07:07:23 AM Great car Leon. I'm doing a FE standard in the same colour. Pity it's a standard it'll never look as sharp as yours, but I still can't wait to finish it. Love that green.
Theo Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: leon on May 29, 2006, 08:57:11 AM :)G Day and thanks for your comments.
In reply to Craig yes mate its the same color with the roof Bermuda green. Theo, there's nothing wrong with the standard. I'm not sure wether you have seen mine or not? if you I can post a photo of it. The standard is a great car even without the trimmings there's not to many of them around. Rusty I'm sure if your doing all the work on your wagon its going to be just great mate. Here is a photo of the engine bay. Regards. Leon (http://i4.tinypic.com/10y4dv7.jpg) Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: leon on May 29, 2006, 09:08:48 AM I'M going to change over the restored rocker cover, Spark plug leads, Battery, and place bonnet catch and bolts around top baffle when I get close to finish. ;)

engine bay looks nice all green. very smick, how much did you do at home? be carefull that the bonnet doesnt blow up on the freeway. there seems to be some bolts missing there. Title: Re: FEE from Trundle Post by: zulu on May 29, 2006, 03:13:18 PM Beautiful Leon, as I would expect, looking forward to seeing it.
