This looks like Greg McLaren's old car.
Would that be correct Slim?
If it is, sorry to see it in this state.
This was a nice car and I can say first hand that this car went hard.
Regards
Alex

I got it from merrylands of a Excavator operator named John. It was still being driven around up until 2003. Dont know previous owner before him but he has had it for about 1and a half years. Its had a lot of work done on this car. And its actually much better in the flesh than these pictures make it look. And as I said before , Its all there !!!. Slim

Hey Mark. Congrats on the purchase. Hope to see it brought back to it's former glory. As I mentioned, this car went hard. I have fond memories driving this car and also going for a wild ride around Bendigo with it's owner Greg, back in 1991. Here's a pic of the car shortly after rego, taken at the 3rd FE FC Nats.  Regards Alex |

Ive known greg and dave since i was about 5 but dont really see much of them these days, I remember one of the maclarens telling me, "no need for rack & pinion with a v8, you just make the box fit with a grinder"

Congratulations Mark on the purchase...!! I love it when these old cars surface again, and I reckon it's great she's going to breath new life into another project....!! Just a quick question for Alex, Harko and Leon..... (with tounge firmly in cheek)..... With an old modified car you'd like seen "brought back to it's former glory"..... Is that then classified as a Restoration or still modified...? LOL Sorry... had to ask!! Cheers Les..... |

you could call it resto rod but that term is taken, I guess like resto guys who want to see a car turned back to how they remember it or how they were, the same can be desired with a modified car, especailly if it was well known.
Sometimes I think about building a replica of my first FE that I never got on the road, modified cars seem to really reflect the times they were modified in.
A extreme example is like when you find a well known custom show car from the sixties but its a rusted out wreck yet worth way more than a stocker with no history in the same condition.
anyway, I remember greg had two cars sitting up above the shelves in his shop, one a stocker and one a v8, when you walked between the shelves you were walking under the cars, he said it was the only place thwey were safe. they had a few V8's, wasnt there one with personalised plates too, something like MY58FC? and some that popped up in magazines through the years and one that was stolen.
Anyway, my FC wagon is made up of lots of stuff from my FE, like the drivers door, brakes, dash, seats, motor etc.
Hey mini, maybe the sedan can be your next project with what you have left of it.
