Great advice, thanks so much!
So, anyone wanna sell me their wagon? 

cheers

Hi everyone, I’m new around here but have been reading and learning from the many knowledgeable forum members for a while.  I have loved Holden’s all my life and wagons especially, to me they always seem to have that bit more character, and more practical.  The FC has always been my favourite model, therefore I NEED an FC Wagon.  I have never owned a car more than 20 years old and have limited mechanical knowledge but am willing to learn.  Basically I’m looking for advice on purchasing an original FC wagon.  I would like the car to be as original as possible and in good condition.  I don’t mind putting in a bit of work to get something on the road in nice original condition.  I know I wouldn’t be up to the challenge of restoring something from the ground up though.  A few questions…. 
What would be the average price of a nice original FC wagon and do they come up often for sale?
What are the main things to look out for when considering one for purchase?
What are considered to be acceptable mod’s but still keeping the originality of the car?  I know many cars have been converted to HR front ends and have the brakes upgraded, new floor pans ect.
Any help, thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, if there are any FE-FC events coming up in Vic I’d love to tag along to check out the cars, meet folks and learn more.
Cheers.
