If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

Good buy Brad, $3,500 sounds like a lot but it's well worth it to get a rust free car, I didn't think there were any left, plus you got a few hundred dollars worth of accessories under the bonnet.

True Pedro.
It really is super straight and virtually rust free.
Rear r/h door has some minor bubbles lurking, yframes good a little near inner sill but easy repair.
Im quite happy with her.
Cheers

  This is the only ding in the entire car  This the only rust that ive found so far usual for the FE FC tho.  Floor pans are quite good really this is with kill rust primer b4 covering with black underbody tar.  obviously this is under the hole in the floor typical FCsubframe rust my plan is to cut it out and weld in a new section your right Hamfist its not rust free but its still one of the better ones IMO  Had a look at brakes also and as you would expect for a vehicle thats been sitting since 1982 they are seized  Shes pretty straight  that little ding on the right rear door is the only one other that very straight indeed My short term plan is to fit second hand seats and do the brakes and put a permit on her to take it to the OLD SKOOL show in Adelaide here next month b4 i totally pull her down for resto. Think i got this pic thing sorted now cheers Brad |
