Hey Seb,

Great to have you aboard.

I thought I'd get in early and warn you off those early models with the small round blinkers and boring stainless kits.  Go for the later model FC, we all know how many lessons were learnt between the VN and the VS - the same applied in the mid to late '50's........

Oh no, I've just painted a target on my chest  

Look forward to hearing of your build.

Cheers,

Craig.

Says he who's van looks grey under the Lights.

Welcome aboard Seb,
I would have to agree with Craig, just like Holden themselves learn by the mistakes of earlier versions and get the best, buy an FC.
You won,t find any biased opinions on this site
Good Luck

Hi Seb
      Welcome to the "crazies" site  (best on the net)

    MMMM   Very "unbiased" tips here , mate     but if you check the alphabet  "C" comes before "E"  

  colour wellll   we've got a few Poo's (sorry Craig)
but not many "Chrome Yellow"       Look forward to your progress .

We have plenty of would be mechanics in here SEB including myself and we welcome kindly any real ones.
So your buying an FC obviously ,My advice - Get a Panelvan  , So much more personality  and rarer too so will hold its value or even increase in the futre.


Let me start again "So you are buying"   an FC P/Van good on ya mate    your one of us

Hi
  The best one to buy is a good grey fe they look tops. No they are not primer they are the top colour  that makes the others envoy  that they do not have one.
     My advice get a FE

Bugger what everyone else says!
The answer is simple, Get one of each!
(don't know about that grey colour though)  

[FCwagon]

It's not a big choice if it's going to be a modified. Both look good dropped on the deck with big fat wheels and mechanicals most likely will be updated anyway. Red ones go faster tho'  

[RET]

If you do an FE, you can save money:
- no stoopid dash shroud ($50 saved)
- no embossing on seats or door-trims (prob $100 there)
- no fins to be rechromed (prob $100 there too)

So there's $250 in your pocket and a more elegant looking car anyway

cheers
