Finally i have sourced a wagon came from bundberg queensland still not in my hands yet its sitting in minifc's shed.Its grey powered god forbid .Dont worry restorers wont be lasting long in that disguise.Plans are for 179hp motor (XU1 spec)t700 auto 3.55lsd (HR) hr front end hq stubs Will be running twin gas carbies and be dedicated to gas only.Ps tanks not for sale have to many projects that it can go into.Might even put the grey gear into the fe219 wagon ive got.Thinking of painting the bottom half olinda green and leaving the top white.Stock rims or ive got a set of weld minilites the ones with eight holes.Photos to come when mini sends them to me or youll have to wait till friday.
regards fatboy

...plus the 32 and the 28 chev.... There's something about FC owners and 28 chevs. I know of 5 FC owners now with 28 chevs. I'm one of them too

Just got home from my mates workshop in Mitchell ACT .Had a great night hooked up a battery and dodgied up a fuel supply checked oil poured some water into the radiator then i heard a running noise previous owner had taken the drain plug out of the motor .So i drove around the corner and got one from the stevens boys .Plug in and cranked the motor over on the starter and the mighty grey started and ran smoothly.Then i started on the brakes looks like ill put new cylinders in it just to be safe .What price are they just so i can reference them in canberra . Feed the clutch pedal up then manually put it into gear and then we couldnt get it out of the gear so i called it a night regards fatboy
