Thanks Ken for the details, I have taken a pic of the compliance plate which shows the correct numbers.  I had the wrong chassis number, couldn't read it properly, you are correct it is 8-20331 B and the ID tag shows the body number as 6094.  So I'm a bit confused regarding the 6053 being the highest numbered body out of Adelaide.  Hope you can clarify further.

Hi Roy, Thanks for the welcome I'll be sure to get in contact when I have a query.

Best regards, Nancy

Thanks David for the welcome.  I am looking forward to tapping into the knowledge of all the forum members here to assist with any issues that may come up.

We thought the brown top was an after-thought.  I checked out your FE and what a great looking car.  The 2 tone does look nice.

Hi All

As a new member of this forum I would like to introduce my latest project car Miss FE.  She was purchased on 23rd December 2012 and arrived home on 24th December 2012.  She is stock standard, original, unrestored and has no rust and she is a beaut with nothing missing. Has been sitting around for a very long time (23 years the owner advised) not being used or loved. Now for the specs/data.

FE-215-6094-A (6,094th made, Adelaide manufacture)
Trim 166-673 (Fall Red)
Paint 253-7455 (Cuban Beige)
Engine No. L 438888
Body No. 8 70 331B (Brisbane assembly)
Miles - 08,689.0

She has a speco shift already in her (looks professionally installed), original Holden floor mats although torn in places but can see the Holden emblem still, everything lights up on dash and gauges move. She turns over although on purchase the motor was thought to be seized but with a little bit of working she started to turn. She turns over by key strongly so fingers crossed we get her running officially.  We also found she has had a brown roof (Russett Brown) although she was never stamped on the plate as such.

Plan is to lightly restore her and not go for the big overhaul, just enough to be presentable and driveable for cruising.

Would love to hear from any forum members if the data provided above is incorrect or can be confirmed as correct. I would really like to get the info right on her.

So now for some pics.....

 
(as first seen)                                                                                                                (at home)

 
(interior)                                                                                                                       (brown roof top)
