Well I finally got one!
Spent most of the past weekend driving between Adelaide and Castlemaine, about 720kms each way once you get out to my place from Adelaide. All with 4 kids, those portable DVD Players are a life saver!
The FC drove all the way back to Adelaide with only one hitch, the Speedo was on it's way out. Bouncing around get less accurate until eventually getting noisy and all over the place, then about 100kms from home a constant grinding/squealing and spinning all the way around.

Hopefully Dave keeps the page up for a while so that the pics work.

Currently it's got the original grey and crashbox, with a HD Clutch? and power drum brakes.
Not sure of what I will do at the moment, probably drive it as is for while.
I was thinking of some custom spats ala gree's car, some moon discs or other full cap with thin white walls and lowered. Possibly a red 6/auto/HR swap in the future.
The FE is the bruiser, so the wagon will be the cruiser.  Grin

        Good thing come to those who wait.
Nice pick-up I guess the wagon out the back paddock just became spare parts. Grin

I dunno Sarge, after seeing some of the miracles performed on the board the paddock wagon may yet see the road.

Geez Ron, 5 posts in 2 years, you'll never make Guru  Grin
All being well, I will be spending the whole day Saturday getting it ready for the sunday run. Speedo needs replacing and seatbelts all around.

So Stinky,
Any chance of passing some leads for any others you know of around Adelaide???
By the way, it looks really nice.

Sorry Dave, non in Adelaide at the moment, I had to go to Castlemaine VIC to get that one!
There was one on eBay not long ago that seemed cheap, but again it was interstate.
