Just a guess, maybe it's off a 1958 Vauxhal Velox ute.
The motor looks like an over size Grey from memory.

I'm sure thats the FE i rarely seen around the Fremantle/Spearwood area.
Is the paint lighter than the photo actually shows.
If it is the one i'm thinking it's very straight with minor rust bubbles that hasn't gone through the paint.
Which wrecking yard did you buy it from?

Seb

If you really have to fit the battery in the boot at least fit a completly sealed one or one with a vent tube like the BMW's and Merc's.
The battery would also have to have a higher CCA rating to allow for some volt drop.
You also wouldn't want a cell to short out creating explosive gases which could enter the cab or worst still,ignite via a boot light switch.

Seb

Thanks for that Stinky.
I've sent her an email.
Have'nt been able to access the WA site, must be down for some reason. Will have to follow it up.

Did you modify the firewall to fit the tripple su's?

Hey Surferboy,
Normally you would change the rear brakes to HR when you have a HR front end.
Whether you have FC or HR rear brakes then the 13 inch HR rims would fit, 14 inch HG rims would fit on the front but not sure on the Rear.
Don't fit EH rims to FC drums because they distort the drum and lock up your brakes before you even let the jack down.
You can fit the wider ROH 13 inch rims which are the early stud pattern up to HR. These will not distort FC drums because the inner face of the rim has clearance to mount away from the "bumps" on the FC drum.
Clear as mud.
Give me a call if like anytime.

Thanks for the memories.
One of motor Sports true gentlemen.

I'm in the market for a mig welder. i'm thinking either Lincoln 170 or Cigweld Transmig 165.
Does the gasless mig perform better than the one on gas?
I know the gasless flux core welding wire is more than 3 times more expensive than gas welding wire.
I've seen disposable gas bottles that you can buy at Repco for $30.00, about the size of a small 0.9kg fire extinguisher that are used with a special matching regulator for $50.00.
Anyone have any experience with these and how long would the gas last?
I intend to use the mig for panel work, exhaust and welding steel up to 6mm thick.
Thanks in advance.

Just a wild guess, maybe the Reg on a Ute had a different rating due to stop start driving being a work horse, then again the Sedan would be used as a shopping so same driving conditions.
I know that Utes that where used as a Milko vehicle had a different size generator pulley to keep the charge rate up due to low rev's and short driving distances.

Regards Seb

Forgot to add that it did'nt have air con.

Hey Blacky,
I've seen a VN v6 in a Rod without p/s and the belt was a slightly tight fit but the owner had no problems with anything breaking, ie water pump/alt bearings. The only thing is on one of the driven pullys from memory the grooves of the belt are face down with no abnormal wear. I made a mental note of the part number but forgot. I know the part number ended in ##55. Hope this helps.

Seb

Hey Mark,
Ever thought of fitting ute or van springs?

Seb

You need different quality seals if using the silicone fluid other wise you will have brake failure i've been told.

Seb

If thats the case, i'll have 2 please.
Regards Seb

I'll take 2.
1 for an FB and 1 for an FE/FC.

Regards Seb

Hi Guys,
I need to hire a 2 tone FB sedan for my wedding in July. Perth WA
I would prefer a white with red flash or soft colored 2 tone.  
You must be prepared to drive in the rain if the weather is not so kind on the day.

One for me thanks.

Usually any Mechanic or Brake specialist can do the job.
Best if you supply all the donor parts yourself and then have them reconditioned.
If your interested i can give you the name of a Mechanic in Myaree, he use to race EH Holdens.
