Sweet score. Looks like a solid car to start with. A bit of work ahead before Mt Gambier. I wish you all the best with the project. Regards Alex

Thats a scarce one mate, FE Wagons are very thin on the ground, where did you find it.
Looks like a nice colour scheme too going by the seat colours, are you going to return it to it's original colour/s ?
Venetian shade package as well as wind deflectors!
Nice pick up!
Good luck with it, look forward to the progress pics Cheers, Gary

just 40, Have you cornered the market on blue & white paint You should break the mould with this one and paint it back to original. Give it to your favorite offspring. The FE 229 is a fairly scarce beast, do a search on the site. Having said that I am sure what ever you do it will look good Cheers, Gary PS we got our FC Ambulance from Beaudesert, from under a blokes house!

well,new floors are in and found a good fuel tank that only needs a sender.but i had to make a bit more room,so i knocked out the back wall under the deck and now i get 4 cars in here. but bless me father as i have sinned,my 4th car is a H/Q ute as i need a daily driver soon and this looked ok for my needs. hope to be stripping the paint off the wagon next week.

John, You are really getting in there, maybe after this one you could finish mine for me! Ha Ha. Or maybe there is already something new in the pipeline?
