Looks good, Tayz...

What are your plans for it?

Last year the organisers estimated 400+ cars; this year they had to close the gates - couldn't fit any more cars in...

Saw 5 FCs; 3 sedans, 1 ute, 1 panel van. Two V8s, 1 C'dore V6, 2 modified reds... not one FE...  Sad







Sweet V6 sedan belonging to a forum member (thanks for the drive, Jack!  Cool Cool Cool)





Tidy V8 FC ute...

And some others













and a crappy old HQ wagon belonging to a local retired surfer...







It's officially a 'Rod Run', but rods were a definite minority; huge diversity of makes, models, styles, modifieds, stockies made for a very interesting day  Smiley

cheers, jack

 Shocked Shocked Shocked

love to hear what it sounds like at 9 grand   Cool

85  General / General Board / Re: Thoughts and prayers on: January 05, 2013, 08:24:25 PM
The good news this morning was a call out from Nick to some mates, and a convoy of FC's, Race Cars, Nissans and Judi's Subaru were all dispatched well away from the danger areas.

Regards

Mr & Mrs Weddo

Good news indeed! Fingers crossed for you, your family and your house, shed, etc, surviving this unscathed and unscorched...

cheers, jack

good to hear from another fan of steelies,moons and whitewalls Grin Grin

Mick Cool

Only way to go, Mick...  Smiley

Moet, if you go HT/G rims, be sure to get wheel nuts to suit. While they are the same size/thread as FE nuts, the chamfer on the bottom IS different.
Using FE wheel nuts on HT/G wheels can easily lead to wheels disappearing into the scenery; this can be a little disconcerting at highway speeds...

cheers

87  Technical Board / General Technical / Re: 14 inch wheels for FE on: December 24, 2012, 08:59:35 PM

HT / HG rims are just plain steel 14" rims, the HK series have eight distinct slots in them.


the slots are in 4 pairs; you can't miss them, and HT/G rims 'stick out' about 1/4" more than HK, but they're all the same size 14 x 5" and same PCD as FE/FC.

I'd go the HT/G rims... (with whitewalls and baby moon hubcaps  Wink Cool Cool)

88  Technical Board / General Technical / Re: 14 inch wheels for FE on: December 23, 2012, 06:29:10 PM

HK has different offset to HT/G, and make sure you use the correct nuts...

Thought I might have got out this week for run but an unexpected term of baby sitting a 5yr old and a 2 yr old have put an end to that. Yep, it takes both the wife and I to look after the 2 of them.
I believe you... started work at 4am, finished at 1pm then looked after my grandson (almost 3 yr old) for the rest of the arvo; now absolutely knackered  Roll Eyes
dunno whether its old age or young kids, but it's tough yakka ...
(but I wouldn't give up the opportunity to spend time with him for quids  Smiley Smiley Smiley)

Still plenty of time left for less important things like old Holdens  Smiley

 
90  Galleries / Project Cars - FEs and FCs Under Construction / Re: Petes FC rebuild again on: November 28, 2012, 04:58:35 PM


Pete; from what I've seen of the build so far, I'd venture that its chances of EVER remotely resembling a "sleeper" are about as slim as a match with the wood carved off it...

Great stuff; keep up the excellent work!

(how about 'HOTGREY'  Grin and paint the block grey?)
91  Technical Board / General Technical / Re: GETTING BLOWN on: November 15, 2012, 09:17:54 PM


put a nappy on first, Pedro...  Grin

looks cool, Mark  Smiley Smiley

Good idea, Weddo  Smiley thanks

93  General / Events, Shows etc / Re: Halls Gap show'n'shine on: October 23, 2012, 10:00:57 AM

yeah Nick.
Only posted it because of the 'gold chrome' effect - I'm a very amateur photographer; when I much later looked at the pic I was stunned to see what the light did to the look of the chrome; must have been reflection from the sorta dry grass...

94  General / Events, Shows etc / Halls Gap show'n'shine on: October 21, 2012, 02:17:52 PM

...was last weekend. Beautiful Spring weather, about 150 interesting cars.

restored (to within an inch of its life!) very impressive EJ Prem


I liked this...

95  For Sale and Wanted / Parts Wanted / Re: chrome front-end bolt covers... on: October 21, 2012, 10:12:33 AM


Thanks Mark.

96  For Sale and Wanted / Parts Wanted / chrome front-end bolt covers... on: October 19, 2012, 09:48:01 AM

(but I'll admit to being far from computer-adept  Roll Eyes)

thanks, jack
97  Galleries / Members' FEs and FCs / Re: NosFEratu on: October 15, 2012, 02:01:50 PM
My new hubcaps have arrived

hmmmm.....

Given your penchant for the hubcaps on both the car and van, I'd just have to assume that the new ones are of the same type...

Different rims???

Or are the old ones damaged/out of shape etc and liable to to fly off into the scenery when more than 70 hp is transmitted through them?  Grin

98  Galleries / Members' FEs and FCs / Re: NosFEratu on: October 12, 2012, 09:31:30 PM
LMAO

Good to see that Jack has been trained well!

NOT well trained, Keith; just love good pudding...  Grin

99  General / General Board / Re: HUGE THANK YOU to Marc { Van059 } on: October 11, 2012, 08:48:41 PM
You sound like my old man.

Pete

 Grin yeah well that's because I'm probably the same vintage as your old man...  Wink
