Thanks!

Looks like this is my car now
http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... =11&t=5791
went from Sydney to Newcastle to Sydney to Melbourne now back to Sydney... along the way the flash was changed from colleen green to white, the scratch plates, fender spears and warmaride heater all taken off.

Hopefully the body work and paint will start sooner than later and have spats, fender spears, and scratch plates to all go back on along with a taxi rail.
Was going to keep the white flash but may now have to return in to back to original colour after seeing those pictures..... decisions decisions

I got four kids too... still trying to work out what causes them :lol: . I drove the FB around for a fortnight with the kids in the car, and had a ball. It was like my childhood again, with no seatbelts. Take a corner fast, and everyone slides to that side of the car. After a fortnight though my conscience got the better of me, and I put seatbelts in. If you're fitting belts, then the taxi rail will do little harm to the anklebiters.

Cheers,

Yes happy now - just waiting for a custom accelerate cable to be fitted then that's basically everything replace mechanically on the car.
It also needed a total rewire as all the electricals were fried.
Can't wait to get in a actually drive it
