Hey Torque if you do plan to hit the road at a later date I'm officialy banning you from coming here untill you have a full finely styled mullet ,a flannel shirt and a real tinny stereo that blares at half volume with something like Highway to hell or Like a bat outta hell playing.

Nah Harko Harko you old so-and-so .... Darcy needs music which is more applicable and identifiable to his generation.  Something along the lines of, WAIT I'VE GOT IT!!! Barnesy doing 'Khe Sanh'!!!  Me .... if I was in Darcy's shoes I'd be doing the rounds with Richard Clapton's 'Girls On The Avenue'.  Pete |

good plates for a dying breed in Australia, I reckon these plates would really upset all the young apprentices at work.

Looking good, Darcy. Keen to see the shots of that motor. I think the plate thing is to do with a NSW term for the Flannel wearing, Mullet sporting peoples who occupy the Western Suburbs. These are reffered to as "Westies". I am not sure if anyone else here knows your last name is West! You back on track now, Mate?  Rob J |

Darcy
I asked you about the colour because I like the look of the Ute the way it is now. 4Hammers has the money about your number plate. Oh Jason you Werribe boys weren't the only one's to wear the mighty black moccies. Now liven on the Gold Coast my kids laugh at me when I slip them on of a night, but hey I am Comfy.
Keep up the pic's Darcy as this is one fine job that you are doing.
Cheers

well its been a while since an update. Been fairly busy lately after a blown headgasket meant we didnt take the sedan to the nats. Anyways it went from a blown headgasket to a top end rebuild so the motor in the sedan is just on its way back together. The fc ute hasnt really had a heap of work done on it over the last few months, just mainly collecting some parts. Also we purchased an ek ute a few days back, this will just go into storage until the fc ute i finished which will probably be a couple more months yet. Anyways main things that have happend are finding a mint tailgate and spare wheel gate, and painting the front half of the undercarriage. now the hr front end can go back under, and the fresh motor can go in. until next time, TorqueFC Pic of a very tight front garage :O:O  This is the main reason why we need to sell the fc standard, we are running a little tight on space  |
