chopped is soooo good!

awesome RB, I see some engine and suspension upgrades, a bit of a cleanup and some red steelies with whitewalls and baby moons and its all done!

I live on a hill on the gold coast but the cars been at the mechanics and parked outside when they needed room in the workshop, with every sill in the doors completely perished should be interesting to see how she faired!!

I kind of need to do this too but have been avoiding it as it seems like a major pain in the ass! My wagon has tailgate with alot of surface rust but it seems ok. But I have a perfect spare one that I have been thinking about painting and swapping in. How hard is it to swap out the locking mechanism...

thanks finny, sorry to hear you got made redundant as well, I have been unemployed for 6 weeks with no bites then all the sudden as soon as I accept 1 job in melbourne another company on the gold coast and one in Sydney get in contact with me, the gold coast one will literally be making their decisi...

Gonna hit it up it looks like. Moving down to Melbourne from the Gold Coast and heading down that week before, stopping for surfs along the way. Hoping to be heading through Bendigo on Sunday so hopefully will be able to stop and see the show and shine. Its hit and miss if the old girl will make it,...

Someone here who has collected pics of all the best ek v8 builds should start up a thread so we can compare. Not that its fair at the moment since garys cars not finished, but would be cool to see.

all good suggestions! Hoses would be key!
Devilrod - I'll be ending up around mordialloc most likely at this stage.

cheers Jason, yeah you can't let it all get you down. Lucky for me I scored a decent job in Melbourne so its time for me and the old girl to have some serious bonding time! Hopefully a gearbox won't be necessary but then again.... Can see i'm going to have to sacrifice board space for parts!!

Well due to getting made redundant, it looks like I'll be moving from the gold coast to Melbourne. As part of the process I lost my company car which means my fb wagon is my daily driver now! My mate and I are considering driving the wagon from the Gold Coast to Melbourne. We are taking our time, an...

can you imagine what you would have to sell it for to feel good about that? I mean apart from the cash Gary has sunk into it, the time, the love and attention to detail in this car is incredible. It will be in a magazine if not on a cover and then we will all have you to thank for the prices of our ...

http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee347/rat138/IMG_0177.jpg I think I know the roof racks your talking about - like this one on mine. Was thinking the same thing the other day. Mine is a 60's style rack which the previous owner has mounted bamboo on (it actually looks pretty cool.) I was thinking ...

got a good one - just cause the guy says theres no rust - doesn't mean there is none.

thanks guys - thats what I thought. Just wanted to check since I'm driving around the place without seatbelts fitted yet!

bit off topic, but does anyone know what the seatbelt laws are in qld and nsw? particularly relating to an FB? My wagon has no seatbelts but I'm wondering if I have to have them for every seat?
