Wayne with a Sydney 1961 FB

Post by WayneXG95 »

Picked up another FB body to work on. :shock:
I was chasing a K frame for the passengers side of the FB
You know the part, right under the battery.
And was leaning on a FB shell yarning to "Rustydungers" :)
I just happen to ask him what he was doing with it as I already had the boot lid and bumbers.
He said he was having a yard cleanout and putting it on ebay the next day
Arrangements made and she now sits in my garage. :thumbsup:

She has no rust but has been set up for a V8 and TH400 by the looks of it.
With a HR disk brake front end.. :|
So now I have to return the FB to the way it was...bloody rodders :cry:
I might even, just, perhaps keep the Castlemaine chassis under it.. :twisted:
As anyone in the car game will attest this has saved me thousands
and put me at least 8 months ahead of my planned schedule.

And yes I got the K Frame for the other FB as well. 8)
and she has been moved to the back of the side driveway
and under a tarp till I restore this one.
I can now take my time repairing the body at my leisure
but she will still be Belmont Green and White :D

This one I think is two tone gray.
Lilac Gray and Cathey Gray.

Not sure about the codes thats just a guess as I don't have any books to check.
and got that information from Steve Jacksons GHM ID Plate thread. :econfused:

Any information someone can give me would be great.
If it's a nice colour combo I might keep it that way.
By the look of the body numbers it might be a April '61 Pagewood car? :ewink:

Found one other FB with the same plate details as mine but Steve has it listed as a EK
But the body number shows a FB.... :econfused:

Appears to be Cathay Gray with Mephisto and Chianti Red.

The other FB has been repainted a different colour by the look of it too.

Wayne,
We think it was lowered by flipping the back shackel?
The rear spring shackle is in its normal position.

Good find, what has Rustydungers got left ??

Regards Greg
So many cars so little time!

there's no worries about it ever happening :ewink: it would have had to been a SH!TLOAD of money and as stated i would have had to fallen into it as i don't buy lotto tickets or such, so she's safe :ebiggrin:
