Wow Craig - looking good!! Love love the colour scheme

where does the HOLDEN NOS NASCO FX FJ FE FC FB DASH ACCESSORY HOLDER that is on ebay go?

ahhh thanks for the visual image ridgey didge - looks very handy indeed

probably a silly question  where does this shelf sit?

Hi Ken, budget is very tight hopefully around the $5k mark - will probably end up being double the time and money though if it is anything like house renovations.
These floods through a big spanner in the works though - my brother is currently up at Ipswich, he has vacated his workshop and the water is lapping at the door. The semi's that has all his stock in it has been stopped enroute and already has water in the trailers. I am very worried for him

haha you cheeky bugger!! Yes thailand absolutely.

Ok ok, your forum id is way cooler than mine - will have to put my thinking cap on to come up with something better 

Thanks again for the starting point, I am really excited to have this forum as a mentor - yes sandblasting is the first point of order.
Hopefully it won't be too costly (I am very lucky), brother will be able to write a lot of it off against his business and parts will be at cost from the US - I promise I will use this thread as a journal of the restoration journey and the cost.
I will post a picture of when we pick it up on the trailer

thanks for the sound advice Fchoon - really appreciate it

Are the glass guards a safety issue foremost?
Are they able to be changed?
Will see what brother has to say about it when I have lunch with him on Thursday

Thanks Steamman I have had feelings of what am I doing to real excitement - but if it is really a horrible buy speak now before $$ changes hands in a weeks time.
Brother seems excited by it - he has restored a lot of hotrods, speedway cars

Yes that is the one - is it a terrible buy?

Hi there,
I just joined this forum after purchasing a FC wagon off evilbay yesterday. Probably paid too much...
Looking forward to collecting the car in a weeks time. My brother is going to restore it for me - hoping to learn lots from this site to educate myself.
Brother thinks he will have it on the road for me in about 6 months time - I will be using it on weekends as our second car, I was after something vintage and hopefully hold its value.
If someone can tell me how to load pics I will attempt to post some of the old girl that needs a lot of love & hopefully not too much $$$
