Petrolheads FB's
This is the first one, third owner from new, origional paint, interior was real good with only a small bit of stitching coming apart under the drivers bum, origional rubber matting with holden logo, door trims and headliner were perfect, boot mat was perfect, all I did was put some dragways on it and drove the wheels off it, then I decided to put a efi V6 in it long before anybody had done so, spent ages writing letters(remember them) to find out what needed to be done to do this legally, then started going to written off car auctions looking for a donor car(remember they were a late model car then), I then had a change of heart as it was to origional to modify so I sold it to a restorer
Happy to be living past my "Use by Date" as in august 2007 they gave me 6-12 months to live

That was a good call with the 1st one.
There was a whole lotta work that went into No.2. It looks really straight, just 'well loved'.

No.3 also looks very straight indeed. How did you find these in WA?
I've bought all of my cars from NSW so far because they just don't seem to come up for sale over here very often.

Patients grasshopper, first you find them, then compliment them on there ride, keep in touch, be friends then say if you ever want to sell I'll give it a good home, the third one took two years of waiting, I was amazed with the mint floors never seen that before
