Hi Guys, I haven't been on the forum for long. This is my first FC and second car I ever owned. I have had it for about 3 years now, I've posted some pics. Enjoy... Dags.      PS> Sorry about the size of the pictures I couldnt work out how to make them smaller.  |

Hey Dags....can you please tell me what size those rims are ? Also brand and style.. I don;t normally like jelly bean style wheels, but they suit your car really well ! Also, do you have standard FC front end and rear end ? ( just so I know for stud pattern ). Cheers mark |

Thanks for the comments guys, Heres the story... I was actually looking for a FC ute, But couldn't resist this bargain. A guy form work got divorced and had to sell it. He'd only had it for less than a year, and originally got it from Adelaide. All I've done is put new carpet in, put the new mirrors on, and given it a real good cut & polish and tidy up. I've just bought some twin carbs, cadillac style tail lights, and bullet head light covers, which will be on soon. -, as far as I know the wheels are off a torana. they are 13" and don't know the brand Sorry! The link that SRVLIVES has posted looks like them to me. -Yeah Dags is a nickname, its stuck since school days and I have heard all the jokes lol!  |

The wheels are actually US Racing Mags 13X7, they were the original mags on my car, but with HR Front and Rear I had lots of clearance problems (or lack of clearance), so I sold them to Greeny (who used to own Dags car) as he had a standard front end and an LJ Torana Rear and didn't have any clearance problems. I fitted 14x7 Centreline Pro 2's to mine that were designed for a HK Holden and have no clearance probs now.
Cheers

Hi there Dags,
Gotta hand it to you, lovely colour combo on the FC .... am drooling over the maroon uppers, very nice. Interior also looks real neat from what I can see. Let us all know how the FC runs once you got the twin carbs installed and properly set up.
Regards ...... Pete

Looks real sweet nice stance as well. I found a photo of a similar car but the roof is Maroon [ a reverse paint scheme from our car] it also has deep dish jellybean mags can anyone shed some light on that one unfortunately you can't see the rego plates.The photo was taken at a previous Nats in the nineties.Cheers Tommo

Dominion Maroon over India Ivory are original colours as per the ID plate. Looks pretty close to original colours as far as I can see in the photos
