I have an FC van that many years ago someone cut windows into  . I would like to return the van to It,s original condition. ( IE Windowless panelvan).  . Does anyone have a wreck with upper rear quarter panels or a good roof that I could cut down the middle and fab up said panels. FB or EK wagon roof would be ok also. WillIng to pay all freight to Brisbane. Would rather use 1958 steel than the rubbish they sell today.Thanx Brad |

gday Brad
i sold my windowless sides a few weeks ago and he did not want roof due to freight costs,so i cut it off and also in half you are welcome to any of it but you would have to pick it up from Hervey Bay 4 hours North of Brisbane,i was keeping it for spare rust repair steele but only cause i was too lazy to transport to tip.
bring a trailer and thin 4inch cutting blades and take any or all of it free.the only part im keeping to sell is top tailgate if you want that, its $40,and a set of correct offset dragways$250,rust free front guard $100,Hr disc brake front end (no discs and callipers)$50lots of good bits also for sale cheap such as Mr Gasket 3butterfly alloy scoop(single holley base) $200
cheers Nick

Gday Nick I had a look at my van roof with a staight edge and there is to much curve in It to use on the sides  . I would have to get It rolled flat then have the six vents punched in . Am not prepaired to go that far just yet. :-/ I am interested in the HR front end as I have disks,callipers and booster to suit. Will send PM re front end. At the moment I only want to fill in the windows and get the shell In etch primmer. If I do make any mods from original it would only be to the brakes and suspension, nothing ireversable. I will keep looking for sides tho, thanks again Brad |

Brad,
I have a windowless van roof with the sides still attached. There are a couple of small rust holes in one side, but the vents still have the fly wire and all the roof supports are there. These are usually removed when the windows are put in a van.
I am in SA so it may be too dear to transport. Any way, something to think about.
Robin

Hello Robin . I am Interested In the sides only as my roof is In realy good condition  . What I realy want to do is get rid of the four bloody big holes in the sides and return the car back to original  . Would it be posible for you to e mail me direct ,a few pictures of the sides so I could get an idea of their condition. My e mail is in my profile. I have a old mate in Adelaide and if thats not to far from you perhaps I could talk him into arranging pick up and freight to me. Thanks again Brad. |

Gday Robin Thanks for the pics, really good quality  . I am interested and It has given me something to think about ie - How the hell do I get them to Brisbane . But seriously, can you give me a price and your phone no- also your location in SA in reference to Adelaide, re - the possibility of my mate organising freight for me. I will send pics of my van to you so you can see what sections of cuts that I want. Thanks again Brad. |

Gday Brad
I have the cuts you need in perfect order already cut out and sitting inside the back of my FCvan- problem is you will have to buy the whole van to get them. I am in Brisbane too! You could sell the van off to recoup your costs - so its worth considering.
