G-Day all, My FE runs an HR disc front end,an HR LSD and an aussie 4 speed behind a 186 red...at 100klm's she screams her head off cruzzzin down the highway...my question is would dropping the diff ratio help reduce the old 186 from reving it's head off?..... cheers Denis...

Thanks Ken, I flew down to NSW near Bermagui where the inlaws live last week, was lucky enough to pick up a pair of gutter rails of an old complete FE I brought from the old bloke over the road a few years back. I basically took what parts I needed back then and left it sitting there.So I was very pleased to see it still had the rails on it.....I also spotted a complete FC wagon sitting in the paddock not far from it,turns out he tried to get a wrecking business going but it never took off.Eh's Hr's old fords everywhere... Denis.

G-Day, I'm just curious, They say if you don't ask you don't know. Did the stainless steel gutter roof trim come out on all FE and FC models?...or was it just the Special models?... thanks Denis.

Can anyone help me with a complete rear boot surround with the Holden Special stainless trim? I don't need the boot lock or key.
I have a 225 Special Sedan with no stainless, so I'd be interested in any other stainless trim as well.
I live in SE Qld, between Brisbane & Toowoomba.
Cheers, Denis.

G-day Keith. I'm very lucky to still have the car. I was doing an apprenticeship in Boilermaking and needed a set of wheels to get to work. I was living at home and told mum I'm off to the bank to put some cash in........Guess what!. I didn't even come close to it, I turned up in the FE, I can still remember her shaking her head at me. Drove it around for a few years,I drove it to Perth and back, it didn't miss a beat once, I lived in NSW then QLD nowadays, then thinking she needed a tidy up I started to strip her down. Now I've got a brother who I asked if I could put it in his shed, he said no worries. I left it there for weeks thinking its OK. I was working in the area so I went to visit him,When I pulled up I met a very pissed off landlord wanting my brothers blood and some rent.I told him I was the owner of the FE in the shed.He told me the old car wasn't in the shed it was sitting out the back fence sitting on it's front end and diff,all the parts, wheels and stainless were gone that were in the car.It was just a shell.He told me he had just got off the phone to Sims Metal to come and pick it up for scrap. I managed to get it home that day, The next 12 or so years I just collected what I could for it in between getting married and bringing 5 boys into this world, I reckon its turned out alright,as for the brother,Don't ask........Cheers Denis.
