Hi all,
Who's interior is this? Can someone post some more pics inside and outside of this car? This interior is identical to a car i am (slowly) restoring.
Cheers,
Graham

G,day Graham

I think this is an FE that belongs to a Holden Club Member
 


It was originally owned & restored by Sam Fonti. It was his fathers taxi

I will check some of my old photos...however I lost a lot when my hard  drive crashed a few years ago

It should be at the Whiteman Park Show next weekend...I will take some pics then

I will get the plate details as well

Cheers
Gary

G'day Graham

I've had a close trawl through my photos and I think this is the Ascot Grey stock FE sedan that the interior shot was taken from. Entrant Number 2, John Manwaring from Kewdale WA. "Vehicle was bought as it was in 1978. Paint was done and chrome work were required. Apart from the brakes and being respiring, nothing has been restored. Upholstery etc is original. Engine is untouched, having only done 55,000 miles when I bought it"

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Tim

Hey your right there Tim

I Saw the photo and thought the bonnet looked marone

However it must be the ascot grey FE as the sun is coming from the North and the Sam Foti FE was facing South and I think his dash is the same as the main colour

Sorry bout that Graham...what is the colour of your FE that you are finishing???

Cheers
Gary

   Greg and I got in this afternoon after having a wonderful two weeks of attending the Nationals and doing a bit of sightseeing.  What a fantastic Nationals the W.A. Club put on  -  WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED.  Again, great drive (Nullabor), great weather, great accommodation, great Nationals and it's GREAT to catch up with friends every two years.  Now it's time to put away a few dollars every week for the upcoming TASMANIA Nationals - and we all know how time flies!!!!!!!!  See you all there.

PS: If there is a "green looking" woman on the boat to TASSIE - it'll be ME - just pass me the bucket

Cheers Hotlips

Graham

Welcome Home Hotlips! See you in Tassie, if not before. We'll be heading home via SA in July and if we've got time we'd love to come along to a club meeting on our way through.

Cheers, Tim

PS. No worries re FE Gary. It took me a while to narrow it down as I'd taken the interior and exterior shots several hours apart. In the end, I could only ID John's car by the hint of Les' white sedan & Mick's red ute in the background.

This is extremely embarrassing but I omitted one very deserving Top Ten awardee!

Graham, please accept my sincerest apologies for this. I think I got thrown when double-checking my list as I had your panelvan under the Entrant's Choice Award. Congratulations mate, your awesome bright red panel van with cool mural was clearly the crowd favourite during the weekend. It was also a favourite of mine and impossible for me to look at without imagining "Holden Heaven" sign-written down the side of it. Please put me on the long list of people wanting to buy it if you ever want to sell it!

Cheers, Tim
