Wayne with a Sydney 1961 FB
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:58 pm
Picked up another FB body to work on. 
I was chasing a K frame for the passengers side of the FB
You know the part, right under the battery.
And was leaning on a FB shell yarning to "Rustydungers"
I just happen to ask him what he was doing with it as I already had the boot lid and bumbers.
He said he was having a yard cleanout and putting it on ebay the next day
Arrangements made and she now sits in my garage.
She has no rust but has been set up for a V8 and TH400 by the looks of it.
With a HR disk brake front end..
So now I have to return the FB to the way it was...bloody rodders
I might even, just, perhaps keep the Castlemaine chassis under it..
As anyone in the car game will attest this has saved me thousands
and put me at least 8 months ahead of my planned schedule.
And yes I got the K Frame for the other FB as well.
and she has been moved to the back of the side driveway
and under a tarp till I restore this one.
I can now take my time repairing the body at my leisure
but she will still be Belmont Green and White
This one I think is two tone gray.
Lilac Gray and Cathey Gray.
Not sure about the codes thats just a guess as I don't have any books to check.
and got that information from Steve Jacksons GHM ID Plate thread.
Any information someone can give me would be great.
If it's a nice colour combo I might keep it that way.
By the look of the body numbers it might be a April '61 Pagewood car?
4 of the best EK doors I've seen
Tunnels coming out to be replaced with a real floor...bloody rodders..
We think it was lowered by flipping the back shackel?
Russells happy and I'm happy..good deal done..
Bugger I couldn't figure were to put Mr Green so he he is anyway..
Cheers

could have saved this poor car the fate of being put back to stock to look like all the other stockers
