Hi Guys as I mentioned to some of you folk I was in process of buying a FB. Well here it is and I must say I am stoked of its arrival. I went to see some rockabilly bands the other week ran into a guy that know and we got talking and he told me he wanted to sell his car as its just sits around and it only gets driven not very much and he felt it was time to go. I was in the middle of that red EK putting it on the road and thought Wow here is an oppertunity to purchase what I originally wanted a FB. In my time in driving cars in last 18 years I had a Two tone green FB sedan (5 years) and a FB standard wagon ( 6 years). Its not that I dont like EK's I just prefer a FB. My favouite EK's belong to the Sunny twins being Ben's Castile green sedan and Tims Pink standard sedan. These are cars that I have grown up in and they have always had EK's and have always had a FB. This car was originally purchased in Sydney in 2001 original NSW number CHH 914. Is there any way you can trace any kind of history with that number? I am curious about that.
Basically the car has alot of original paint has a few marks which I am not concerned about. The interior has been redone with trim coming from Supertrim in Melbourne and looks a million dollars. Car also has many extras spats, venitian, sunvisor, fender spears, scratch plates, whitewalls, dress rims, reverse lights, radio, parcel shelf, gear lever lock just to name a few. The car has been lowered and has twin carbs and extractors and runs and sonunds beautiful. anyway I chewed your ear off enough enjoy 8) 8)

My brother in law Glenn owns this wagon it has not been running for months the previous owner jammed up the holes in the fuel tank and all the gunk they used has got into the tank. We got a tin of fuel sat it on the front floor ran a rubber line to the fuel pump through the firewall and got it over to my place as he lives in a unit and is not allowed to work on cars. We are gonna rip out the tank and take it to a radiator shop and get them to weld it up.
