Howdy
I was on here many years ago with a ute.....then marriage and family happened and I now have a new project to get started in again 6 years later.
An FB Sedan is the new girl.
Anyway I just wanted to say hi and hope one day I can name it to a meet, BBQ or if there's a club in hobart then join. I may even ask for some assistance haha
Cheers Cam

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.

The plan for the project at this stage is to keep it standard and to get it back on the road and registered. Its not that far away really....probably looks worse than it is more basic stuff and 99% of the car is there. JUst little things like a horn, new belts and some worn rubbers.....
I'm going to rebuild all the brakes etc. The owner before me has put an HQ master cylinder on it and i don't know if this is a good thing or not so any help on that would be appreciated. That aside it runs and drives quite well.
It will be a stock 138 and 3 speed manual on the tree at this stage but may head to twin down draughts......it really is just going to be set up to cruise with the family, i know its not a power demon and never will be so as long as its safe for the kids i'll be happy. Paint wise i'm going to just drive it around ratty for a while and tidy up the interior etc and work my way out. Its very straight and has next to no rust which are positives. Once i do get around to the respray the original colours will be kept.
The only thing I would like to do is drop it slightly and maybe put some 14/15 inch rims with white walls on it.
Anyways I hope you like the pics......as you can see theres a bit to do but I hope to have it registered by Christmas....the wiring is the main issue here.
Any help, tips or tricks always appreciated.
Cheers Cam
