This is a picture of Alan Wall's FC Utility. Al has owned this car for many years and over that time it has had various engine and gearbox combos - from Trimatics to 3 speeds to 5 speeds, 202's to 186's to 161's. Al is a mechanic who LOVES to tinker - and a good bloke to boot.

Al and I used to travel to the NSW club runs together around 1986, he was so young and handsome then - nows he's just an old grey haired bastard  Grin

Cheers,

Craig.

P.S Sorry about the crappy image quality but they were taken on a camera phone  :-/

This is a picture of some work Al is currently undertaking for a guy who was recommended to him via this forum.

Car is an FC utility that is having HR Front End/EH Diff/Red Motor/5 Speed fitted. Body is very, very good except for some rust at the base of the passenger side B pillar.

Cheers,

Craig.

Well, I think I can improve on the pic of Al's ute, but as for the pic of Al himself, I ain't that good.

Good news Ben, but it's still a HR isn't it? Fit a set of those FC headlight rims that your old man has lying around and we might let you bring it along  Wink

Seriously, well done Ben, it's a big job anytime - but especially in 2003  - to get a 350 Chev legally registered in an early Holden. Great effort.

Can't wait to go for a ride!!

Cheers,

Craig.

I drove it to work today and im kicking myself I didnt pull my finger out sooner and put the hard yards in 12 months ago its so smooth and a pleasure to drive exept for the rattle of the exhaust but thats getting fixed early next week and I can hardly wait to build the new motor for it then itll be even more fun to drive

P.S ED mate the first time you drive the FE legally youll ilove it mate its the best feeling in the world driving an old holden that actually goes hard and sounds great keep on pushing yourself mate

See Ya
