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

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
