As described I need an axle to suit HK,T,G banjo diff. I am in Toowoomba area. PH 0400043930 Cheers Jason

Hi Craig, The wife don't want the FE anymore (one of the perils of buying her a new car) and I need to move it on for room so I can do my 25th anniversary HQ Premier. It is only a room issue so might look around for a shed to put her in as well but I haven't come across one as yet and I really do not want to waste a car that has had that much work put into it by sitting it in a paddock because it would undo everything I have done. it only needs 2 guards and an interior to be complete. If I can find suitable storage I will keep it.    Enough about my FE how is your old girl coming along champ?
Cheers Jason

I was only after $250.00 for everything I have but nobody wants her. I spent well over $700 for repair panels and mig wire etc as it has 4 new pans and new inner an outer sill panels and new rear lower quarters etc and also a full set of rust free doors plus 6 others for mechanisms and chrome etc. Rust free bonnet and rust free bootlid but I am wanting too much I guess asking for $250. So nature can have her. I do apologize about being a little annoyed but I paid $100 just for one door from this forum and was told it was cheap to get one with no rust at that price and I have 4. But cheers for the replies fellas I do appreciate it and yes I actually mean that I do appreciate it and I am not being sarcastic but it's off to the big paddock for her.

No sale, No worries. Seems a shame to waste a good FE but oh well off to the paddock for it.

Hey all I am offering up my FE sedan for the last time before she goes in the paddock to rust away. It has all rust removed except the spare wheel tray. Has about 10 doors of which 4 are ready to go and are a full set. No front guards but has a bonnet and 2 bootlids. Also there is a half horn ring column and a full horn ring column that goes with it and 2 dash's. No interior or running gear.
Make an offer will take any reasonable one. It is located in Kingsthorpe which is just outside toowoomba.

Cheers Jason

How can the issue be eliminated rather than minimized or is it impossible to do so.

Jason

So are you saying to fit HK,T,G steering arms or HQ etc to rectify this problem so we can avoid this issue. I for one would like to know as I was going to do the same brakes.

Hey all I also have a HX one tonner for sale with a custom extended cab.  The cab has been extended about a foot behind the seat and is mod plated for the mod and is also mod plated for 2 seats. It has a good running 202 and traumatic auto and a 3.55 banjo diff. The ball joints and tie rods are all brand new as are the rear wheel bearings and the auto has had a service with new filters and oil. There was rust in the plenums and top of roof where it meets the screen but I have repaired them with new panels.  There is rust in the doors and drivers pan and a couple of other spots but all are repairable without too much trouble and drivers guard has a dent. It comes with a heap of spare bits including another traumatic and a couple of boxes of smaller bits. All lights and fans etc work except fuel guage and temp but they are sender issues not wiring. Hand brake works well and has a bench seat and also comes with a set of retractable recaros which need a re cover. The rust repairs and the like just need finishing and paint as far as I can tell and away u go.
$1250.00 ONO yes it is cheap but just need it gone
Located in Kingsthorpe just outside toowoomba, call jason 0431376609 or 07 4699 3890

Les,
I posted the feedback via email on all occasions, If you had a floor pan that fitted then can the same ones be forwarded to Toowoomba as the ones I received, and I bought all 4, had only a minor resemblance to the originals and measuring up all the folds in both the rares and the original the swage lines were up to 5mm more shallow in the rares ones as compared to the original. I also thought that possibly it was my car but I have 3 FE's and the pans were way way out in all 3 cars so possibly it is the pans or all 3 of the cars I own are bent in exactly the same place and all the swage lines have been made deeper on all of them as well  .
 I then after no feedback from rares rang the particular shop I ordered them through and was informed that it is just how they are and to pull out the panel hammers to make them fit or wait for NOS ones to turn up on ebay etc.
 So I am sorry if my comments are not nice but neither is the treatment I received from rare spares and the days of them being the only ones you can buy car gear from is long long gone .   As I said before I have given up waiting for a phone call or a simple email and I bought the pans over 6 months ago and I now just wait for NOS or buy repair panels from rares competitors being Retro rods and Craig Vayne whose panels not only fit much much better ie no panel hammering but are also a lot cheaper and in some cases half the price.   So until Rares picks its act way way way up and reduces it's prices to in some way compete then I and if you read all posts in this forum over the last couple of years many others will shop elsewhere.

Cheers Jason

Worked great fellas a red motor starter works just fine.

Hi its an FC crash box but I though I would give a red starter a try and bolted it up usin just the 2 holes and hit the power and away it went turning the engine over so I will add fuel and spark on my day off and keep everyone informed.
