FB Sedan build

Post by EK JAY »

:D brought this FB standard sedan a few months ago for my eldest daughter
its a pretty good car not a lot of rust not sure on plans for running gear as yet
as it has no motor or box or front sub frame its missing a few bits and pieces
but apart from that its a decent starting point for us to build a nice car
wont really be starting on this until my wagon is finished but that's close now :thumbsup:

excellent :thumbsup:

without going and digging through the colour chart if that's the original colour that would have to be fairly uncommon you see it a lot on specials but not so much on standards :?

Thanks for reposting the photos Jay it is such a shame that we have lost so many picture from old builds.

Looks like your subframe is not too bad with not too many surprises good luck and please keep posting photos mate.
