Had heard that we had one of these at work so I went looking, took a couple of months to find, but here it is.  This one is off a hydroplane, I'd say 90% of it is there, but there is a piece missing that goes between the rotary valve and the head missing, will try and assemble when time permits.  Still have the induction system it has 6 Amal (motorcycle) carbs attached. A nice piece of Aussie ingenuity

looks good Mick my sedan is a 202 with celica 5 speed I'm in the process of installing them at the moment ,just wondering are you going to install indicators or run without .my sedan doesn't have any either but i am going to fit them good luck with it cheers Gary
It took a while (much hunting about), but I now have the front indicators and blinker switch, will probably run orange globes under the original lenses

Good on you mate, haven't seen triple SU's or even twin SU's for a while, how does or did it run?

What colour/s are you going to paint it

Cheers Gary
It used to run great, motor is now apart for a freshen up and make it a little quicker, only had about 40k after last rebuild when the Torana it was in was tail ended.  I never had trouble with SU's (had them on the HR and EH) they just need to be set up properly with a good linkage and they're fine, I am a motorcycle mechanic by trade so 3 carbs is easy have dealt with 6 on one engine. I was going to add the fc trim on the side and do the 2 tone but now have decided to paint it Flipper blue with a white roof.
Cheers Mick

I had HR, EH when I first started driving in the seventies with most of the usual mods, but they where never completed to a standard I was happy with, mostly because I needed to keep them going.  I found this FE ute about 12 years ago but hoped I'd find a better one, no luck, so I got this in July 2007.  Progress has been slow because a change of job meant that I had to complete a uni degree.  Anyway at least it's started, doing all the mods first so paint and body repairs will be last

Having owned a HR, EH and a couple of Torana,s and never having them exactly like I wanted them, I have always felt that I needed to fix this unfinished business. I have always wanted a ute and an FE or FC would fit the bill perfectly, so after spotting this one about 12years ago I went and picked it up in July 2007, would have started earlier but thought I may find a better one.  Its an FE ute, have done it a bit backwards, in that all the mods are being done before the body work. will post some pics when I work how to.  As I don't throw much out it has the 202 out of my Torana, HR disc front end, 5 speed box, Commodore rear mount rack and wiper motor. Progress has been slow but a change of job required me to do a uni degree which has slowed it down a lot Cheesy
