Thanks Sarge, it's going (fingers x'ed) in the panel shop on monday and then home.

Did I mention I'm going for an eye op sometime in June which will allow me to get my licence for the first time (at 34!)

So 6 months on my L's then my P's... how many times am I gonna be picked up by the cops for not taking my son's L's off the car before driving?

Nice colour. Any idea what it is? Goes well with the standard chrome on the sides.

Best regards,

Steve.

Mate,

I just love an auto transmission so your car must be great.  My days of manuals are well gone gone, unless of course I am racing around Willowbank which I do occasionally.  
Looks a great car - thanks for sharing (I feel touchy/feely when I say that)

Hi SRVLIVES,

Hey  SRVLIVES
    Mate ,   you'll have it over the rest of us , We all had a huge smile/grin when we were able to drive our FE/FC's  for the first time.
   But you'll have double that , "Your "first" drive in your "first" FC.        Can anyone better that ?

   (Good things come to them who wait)

Just went and fitted the spacers to my front end (thanks stinky Smiley ) and got the whitewalls fitted to the rear



Disregard the flat front tyre, but I think it looks much better, the 14" wheels really fill out the guards. Will get some ww's for the front soon.

Looking good.
Are you going to retain the black wheels?
I see the panel shop is poking and proding the panels.

hey Alex, few options for the wheels, black with chrome nuts and centre caps, HK caps, or some custom full wheel caps, not MOON's though! Tongue

Poking and prodding?.... that's about all they've done! Sad

What with this NRMA crap with repairers at the moment there should be plenty of time to get stuck into it.... seeing as they've told the NRMA to stick their new quoting scheme in their freckle....... work sure has dried up.

Looking good! The uncluttered "standard" style is a refreshing change.

Whitewalls - more than 'just' a way of life.

Um, not quite....

Should have mentioned, few weeks after the first post in this thread, the doc pushed me back.

Due to go back and see hime on the 10th Oct... though I won't be wasting my time going down there if he has no good news.

Car will be nosed and decked, will leave the rear guard spears and the ones on the front guards, all else will be gone.... even the boot lock is destined for the parts box.

For those interested, I finally decoded the ID plate:

ID:     FC-215-3396-S
TRIM:   353-642
PAINT:  256-2038
        -
RPO:

FC-40498-S
 The vehicle was assembled during 1959, and was the
 39,498th FC (in any bodystyle) assembled in Sydney, NSW.

XXXXXX
 Manufacture date (based on engine number) is Unknown (Not a valid grey motor engine number)

--------------------------------------------------------

Brett, I haven't forgotten about the visor brackets.......

I dig the idea of black wheels with chrome nuts.
Are you going to paint the roof Metalflake Lime?
