This is pretty much a C & P from the FE FC club page just so you know.
I am hoping I might get lucky and as they say it never hurts to ask!
We are looking for a good ute or windowless van FE FC FB EK
Right now I'm setting myself up in a second job doing restoration vapour blasting and conventional blasting (note - not whole cars etc as they are already catered for) at great expense to the management (me)
The work I aim to do outside my regular employment as a firey is doing vapour / wet blasting (ie glass bead in water under pressure) on all sorts of components (primarily but not exclusively alloy) in a cabinet with approx 1m x 1m x .8 capacity and the reason I am after a windowless van or ute is to use it as a daily driver complete with 60's style sign-writing .
I also have a large dry blasting cabinet running bead, garnet and aluminium oxide grit and both run off a vane comp.
Twenty something years ago I had a fantastic black business sedan and I have always had a soft spot for FE and FC, although due to the fact my 19 year old has an EK I will also be looking at them, it just depends on what comes up first. That old FC only had one tiny 3/8" spot of rust and was dead stock and I enjoyed every day I owned her!
The car I am seeking now must be a very useable car from day one with minimal if zero rust (if such a car exists?) and at this stage I only want to do minimal changes to it but am open to ideas. Colour is unimportant, condition is, and the more original and unmolested the better.
The other reason I want a van or ute is because I race old school motocross and figure what better way to cart old bikes around eh?
Obviously I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount for a decent car - I try to be a realist, but am definitely NOT after a rust bucket. I'm in Sydney but can travel for the right vehicle, within reason.
Any help, offers or leads would be very much appreciated, and I have already begun buying some goodies to start things off.
Cheers and thanks in advance
Dave Mac
