I have a lot of badges - all of them with varying amounts of blisters. I have hung onto these as technology marches on - they are repairable- but they are still perfecting the process the last I heard.
One option now open is to lightly blast them - remove the blisters - bog up any imperfections and paint them in Chrome paint- ( the new stuff that is a close match to chrome)I have seen this done - but I don't personally really know anyone that would go to such lengths.
So if you have no badges at all I can sell you some of the better ones for $5-$10 each -But be warned they are not perfect. At least the badges will match up with the factory holes. The repro ones when they used to be available didnt.

Gday Dean I actually have a spare full set of new glass I had made for the wife's FC sedan. I want $650 for it.(my cost) It includes four door windup windows and the four 1/4 windows front and back. All the glass has been CNC cut and has polished edges- that virtually doubles the cost of the glass- so beware of cheaper hand cut and hand harrassed (linished edges) windows!
Second hand glass is a waste of time. Although I have plenty!I even went to the trouble of getting new stuff made made by Pilkington with the water mark standards stamp on it- (required by law) AND its toughened glass with a slight green tint so it matches the factory rear glass which has more green tint than the factory side glass and matches perfectly with new windscreens.
An example of this glass can be seen on my website- www.streetneat.com -as fitted to Mrs streetneats FC sedan. I went to this expense as we want glass that was superior to the factory glass and would not tear up the new bailey channels. Its details like this that we put into our cars that enable us to insure them for a lot more than average. Also its these details that give you the feeling of driving a brand new old car- glass is very important in my book and it shouldn't be overlooked ( pardon the pun)
Apologies for the rant reply to your simple request- I'll send you a pm anyway - and seeing as you asked first you get first preference- but I thought I would make others here aware of what I had to clear out - I m not building any more FC's so I dont need the spares.
Cheers Andrew- streetneat. (07) 3206 0340

andrew, cheers for the response and i dont consider it a rant, but very descriptive and helpful. shame your not doing any more FC's as you do quite a job. i am very tempted with the glass. i will make a decision quite soon, and let you know so someone else can grab them if i dont.
i will probably give you a call before the wekends out.
thanks again dean

Andrew, I didn't realise that you were running the shop down that way. As i'm only on the North side of Bris I've only heard of it. Checked out the wed site though and it looks like I could get in the poo for spendin far too much money there. I was also just wondering (If you can) can I exchange the HR Crossmember I have with one from you that has the ehej outrigger and moved engine mounts set up for FC with 186? and if so what price am I looking at for that? thanks mate nes138

Sorry for the slow response- the notification of replies must have been turned off- or the missus got to it b4 me! I can arrange a swap of one of my front ends for one with the eh outrigger and engine mounts- but as I also have to shell out for this and rely on my mate to deliver its a bit of a procedure...but can be done. Leave it with me and I will see what I can do- please ring me to remind me on 3206 0340.
Yeah I'm winding the shop up- or down whichever applies... Ive had enough of charity resto work. Plus the fact the developers are moving in makes it an easier decision... It may take a while to be rid of all my parts though. I will continue to help out others where I can with advise and small jobs and parts location. Cheers streetneat-Andrew.

I have not a chance to cut the our rigger out just yet- I spoke to my mate with the front ends this morning - he will have a look and see what he has later this week. ( I wont hold me breath though - I have to keep onto him to get things from him.) I will hopefully hear from you tommorow. Cheers streetneat-Andrew

I have a few EK front ends- so as they have the same outrigger as an EJ EH I will see what I can cut out for you. I will have to closely look at whats left in the pile of front ends... Cheers Streetneat- Andrew- hope you saw your genourous tip ( over payment) returned!
