Just bought this fc ute,(1 hour ago) never seen it before tonight. Has 202, 4 speed (dont know what breed box yet) bucket seats, hr disc brake front end. Looks like it had most of this work done about 20 years ago.
I.D. 2106-3593-a
Trim 351-65L
Paint 256-2031



It came from the wheatbelt W.A about 10 years ago. Any help on history or I.D would be great thanks .Gary C

Gary, Congratulations, looks good, need more info to ID it, have another look at the trim number as it dosen't look correct & also, see if you can find the chassis no. should be on the drivers side inner guard skirt

They used a similar body colour to that for airport airside vehicles, although it could have just been repainted to suit a business

Cheers Gary

The photos make it look way better than it is, but as I said to the missus "I'm not gunna spend any money on this one ,,honey." It does need a bit of love. The yellow is a respray.It has rust the windscreen trim is missing the body trim is missing, the floorshift jammed on the way home, it has no ignition lights ,brake lights ,indicator lights,wiper motor is missing thats all I know so far but I have only known the car ! hour I will try to get the numbers right for an idea on original trim and colour tommorrow. I did drive it home and the right hand front disc was smoki'n by the time I got home. Yeah Iam a victim,,but I love it.

Trim 351-561 cant get at the chassis no untill I remove the brake booster.

This outrigger set up looks a bit dodgy, no sway bar either.

The steering connecting rod seems to have been rubbing on the sump

Paid $4500 for it so probably not to bad,what do you reckon?

The outrigger look dodgy because when they fitted the HR front end most usually change the outrigger to EH type that then bolts up to the correct original mounting point ....the steering arms will also be HR and will hit the sump on full lock .......FC427......

As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

I agree with EffCee, sounds like $4500 worth of pure fun!
