Agree - losing the hinges really cleans up the look at the rear and those taillights look mint

Looks great Roger, happy the glass is moving better.
I ended up buying my own guard rolling rig and did my FC Sedans it didn't take much and I don't think it could really be noticed but it worked well.
Ute looks great.

Rog did you use an FC Centre piece of the rear bumper with the EK ends, was the fit ok between them if this is what you did

The ends look FC?

I think an FE/FC rear bumper will bolt up to an EK ute, given the similarity in body shape. Whether the bumper brackets will clear the ute bodywork is another matter.

The rear bumper is FC that I modified by tucking in the corners and narrowing the centre section.
I also shortened the number plate surround to remove the gap at the top.
There was also a modification to the body so the bracket clear.

I ordered new wheels for the front this morning 15" x 6" with 20mm positive offset.
4 week lead time so again not ready for All Holden Day 2024.

I chipped the paint of the front guard so I tried to patch and blend but not good.
Scuffed the guard and re-painted 4 coats then 3 of lacquer.
Next step is a light cut and then polish. A package in the post this morning. One step closer to firing up the motor. Cheers,
Roger

I had one of those in my ute. Never missed a beat. Not sure if the advance curve was right for my particular engine specs though. I was too lazy to get it mapped.

I personally haven’t had one but knew a few people that had dramas with them … hopefully it’s trouble free motoring mate

I stick with the VC VK Bosch. I'll be interested to see how it goes Roger.

I have assembled the rear window today and with Mitch's help got it the car.
If you are yet to do this then you will 3 people. One to assist and another to abuse as self-abuse has no impact on the window fitting. A little fine tuning of the headliner and I will fit the metals strips.
Cheers,
Roger
PS – If you need help, I will be either in hospital, in prison or overseas.

Good to see you managed to install it without breaking it , unlike SunnyTim .......
