I counted 649 pics... :P :wink:

Seriously what a mammoth effort. Well done and many thanks.

Well Stewart, I would have went over the 650 pics, if a NSW FB or two had turned up to the show. It was reported that those cars were driven hard until they failed. I heard that they were impounded :?: "Street Racing" maybe :?:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Stewart.

Great thread Steve - enjoyed it very much. Each car had its own character and you've captured that quite well. :thumbsup:

Hi Steve, did you notice the firewall on this fb? Looks like an fc graft, or maybe a very early fb with some fc left-overs?
What do you think?

Mine has no stampings in this area, and my heater bung was in the motor recess :eh:
I filled holes in my firewall, but didn't remove any stampings.
Whats the story here?

Thanks for the hundreds of photos Steve, makes me can't wait to have my EKidna on the road and be a part of a Nationals!

Had to laugh at this one... I had one of those Nasco Handbrake Holder-on-erers!! When I first got my L's, learning to drive in Feebee (which was incidentally the same colours as this car), dad insisted learning to do handbrake hillstarts in the driveway, but the handbrake wasn't holding so I had to use a block of wood :lol:

G'Day Steve

Thanks for posting the Mt Gambier pics they are awesome.

I passed your shop a couple of days ago and saw the grey ute, it was only once I got next to it I noticed the For Sale Sign.

If I was you I would get one of the old roof rack bars and get a for sale sign made 800mm wide x 600mm high, it will sell straight away.

Regards

James
