Hey Seb, Great to have you aboard. I thought I'd get in early and warn you off those early models with the small round blinkers and boring stainless kits. Go for the later model FC, we all know how many lessons were learnt between the VN and the VS - the same applied in the mid to late '50's........ Oh no, I've just painted a target on my chest  Look forward to hearing of your build. Cheers, Craig. |

Welcome aboard Seb, I would have to agree with Craig, just like Holden themselves learn by the mistakes of earlier versions and get the best, buy an FC. You won,t find any biased opinions on this site  Good Luck John M |

Hi Seb Welcome to the "crazies" site (best on the net) MMMM Very "unbiased" tips here , mate but if you check the alphabet "C" comes before "E" colour wellll we've got a few Poo's (sorry Craig) but not many "Chrome Yellow"  Look forward to your progress . Norm d |

We have plenty of would be mechanics in here SEB including myself and we welcome kindly any real ones. So your buying an FC obviously ,My advice - Get a Panelvan , So much more personality and rarer too so will hold its value or even increase in the futre. Let me start again "So you are buying" an FC P/Van good on ya mate your one of us  |

Hi
The best one to buy is a good grey fe they look tops. No they are not primer they are the top colour that makes the others envoy that they do not have one.
My advice get a FE

It's not a big choice if it's going to be a modified. Both look good dropped on the deck with big fat wheels and mechanicals most likely will be updated anyway. Red ones go faster tho' |

If you do an FE, you can save money: - no stoopid dash shroud ($50 saved) - no embossing on seats or door-trims (prob $100 there) - no fins to be rechromed (prob $100 there too) So there's $250 in your pocket and a more elegant looking car anyway  cheers RET |
