My FC

Post by tonyw »

Here are a few pictures of my FC. It took six years to do - I did it myself - except for paint, trim and engine internals and of course chrome - a little bit each weekend - I guess you all know the game.
Image
It was in OK shape when I got it - rust in the usual places but not bad overall
Image
Image
It has FB EK front seat surrounds!
Image
It has a 179 with the grey 3 speed gearbox and EH front and rear ends - diff is 3.55

Regards, Tony

nice 8) 8) welcome to the forum mate .
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Hey Tony,
That is one very tidy set of wheels. What is that I see lurking in the background another one awaiting your handy work?

Hey Billy as far as I am aware the FE had it in the front and back and the FC only had it in the back however I could stand corrected.

I have another FC ute - you'll see the reflection in the boot of the first picture.

The ute in primer is a project in waiting. At this stage it will have a 186 - triple SU's, 4 speed, HR disc brake front end with CRS 2" lowered spindles, quad headlight (International truck) front guards, EJ rear tail lights (vertical not horizontal) - painted pearl white with an all red interior and perhaps a FB or EK dash?

I have most of what I need except time!

Regards, Tony
