I have no holes???
I'll post a pick to make sure im talking about the right bit

the bits of trim that cover the edge of the carpet under the doors (scuff plate?) what holds them on is there a clip or is there ussually a peice of wood in the channel under it to screw to??

Looks very tidy, you would have to be pretty happy getting in SM. Nice work I'm jealous

Hey Simins
My fc has a seperate booster mounted on the inner gaurd i thought that was original, if it isn't i'll find out what it's off and tell you, but it works fine in mine. (only a six though)

PS did you put the V8 in yourself?

Russ

Yeah Rusty that was the car it was for 10k then i think the gut got drunk and sold it to his mate heaps cheap(which he regrets) and then he sold it to me for 8k so i dont know how cheap he got it for,

P.S i saw it three years before i bought it at the first V8s in darwin and i wanted it then, I saw it at super cheap but didn't have any cash free so i didn't even look at it but one day i just finished a cash job and had 8K in my back pocket (literally) and just happen to drive past it on some back street, so i bought it for the missus. now she drive the toyota???

Here she is. its a she although the previous owner saw fit to scatch "Basil the beast" into the stearing wheel.

She has a 202 with a stromie and late model ignition, 3 sp crash box(second one in a year),hr frount end with disks, two speed wipers and all the mod cons you could ever want(a stereo stuck under the dash)

Most of the crome bits are there grill and bars are good. All in all its not bad for my first holden, and thanks to mark there will be anouther fc in the familly and anouther one in Darwin. http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g169/Russ-T/

anyone offer better not bigger disks that still fit under 13s

seen it on an LJ torry looks good cant imagine it being easy. go for it

Dont know how the gray ones are held on but i usually put the bolt back in without the washer!!!

I Have a 202 bolted to the fc crash box so i guess they have yhe same pattern. no idea about the rest but i was told nothing exept the old box fits without mods which is why i had to find an old one when mine broke. hope it all goes well for you

Thanks Slim is there a chance you could send a pic to rjhenry78@bigpond.com as i don't really know what im even asking for (first fc, first old holden and little or no experiance) no rush whenever you can get to it.

Ta

is that a pair??? or is it one piece i havn't even looked at mine. $40 bucks is good ill see if i can find anyone to pick it up, Ta

is there anyone or does anyone know someone with a FC or FE in Darwin

Hi guys i need fc front end to use as a template, I will be cutting and modifying it so any condition is good. (dont really want to cutup anything that is still useable)
Close to Darwin would be good (ha ha ha).

  :-/
Oh well, Ill see how i go, i'm studying to become a mechanical engineer so i guess over the next five years i will come up with something good. Will keep you all posted if/when i start.

Toying with the idea of doing a full chassis incorporating the VT front suspension and steering as well as the IRS but any engineering will be done to suit a V8, anyone know an engineer in Darwin. also looking for cheap FC Preferabley a wreck so i can use it for the "Prototype" without killing mine.

Just picked up a vt for $1000 motor box and IRS is the v6 swap worth it, and has anyone tried fitting IRS into an FC.

Cheers all ordered kit and will try and take photos if anyone is interested.

is there still parts for the  3 spd boxes, I think ive done a bearing on the lay shaft. Any clues much appreciated

Thanks for the advice, check out http://www.efihardware.com it's a bit pricey for me but all very good looking stuff.
PS a friend just got me a "stage 5"? 186 with triple webers so that will have to do until im rich
