Hi ACE
yeh I reckon I have done ok, got one FE special, one FC standard and a genuine 327 monaro. I dont think it can get any better.

Here is an example,

Yes I have a 1956 single colour oceanmist green car that is completely original 97,000 miles and the dark green paint definately appears to have the tiniest amount of metallic appearance to it (with very small metal flakes) I am not up to your stage of painting so I cannot help you with the paint code but just agreeing that it is a metallic paint maybe someone out there knows?

Hi Col, the blank spears suit FC and the spears with holden stamped into them suit FE,

Came across a couple of vh24 boosters last week and one had the PBR tags and the other had the red nasco tags with the part number tag, I hadnt seen the nasco one before are these unusual or rare?

regards mike.

Hi ED I would also like two sets,

I always understood it that it was FB's that were the mules, I remember reading an interview with a holden engineer who said there were a few FB holdens that had the autos fitted and used as testbeds,

Hi Craig about $5000.00 nowdays for the magnesium sprintmasters, I agree after owning two XU1's the Cd carbs are easy to tune and tend to hold tune fairly well,
rather than move the battery to the otherside you may be able to incorporate a 4 cylinder battery tray and a decent small battery as the XU1's also did to give carby clearance.

Hi got back from the auction this morning (2:30 am) it was a great day and it was good to just see so many parts in one place, it was hard not to want to bid on everything, I managed to pick up a few good items and the only thing that didnt have a good time was my wallet   and thanks to Ken for his assistance and for answering any queries I had about parts. See you again next year,

regards mike.

Thanks Ken and Slim,

Regards mike.

today I got hold of two sets of door pull handles and they are exactly the same, except one set has
PIC - D 002 on the back of them whereas the oter set has nothing, my question is which is the correct set to use,

regards mike

Here is a picture of some, by the way if anyone does locate a supplier can you let me know,

regards mike.

Hi just want to find out the details regarding location and time of the auction and any other relevant info,

regards mike

Does anyone know when holden started using acrylic paint, i beleive it was at the start of FB's but was wondering if late FC's were done without advertising the fact as a lead up to the release of the FB,

regards mike.

I dont know whether they were painted by hand or some mechanical means but on my FC 215 it must have been while the operater was drunk they are so misalinged it is amazing but i will be leaving it original, i will post a pic, also my FC fuel writing is much larger than my FE and even larger than oil & gen writing, FE is SA build FC is VIC build maybe different suppliers,

regards mike

This may seem like a silly question as i have only ever had vacuum wipers but how do you visually tell the difference between the single speed and  the two speed motors,

regards mike.

and more again
