Been into old holdens now for about 15 years (I'm 30). I put this down to helping my pop out with his FC ute when I was younger. From about 18/19 I wanted a FC ute like pop's but never found one.

So I settled for an EK ute and was bitten by the holden bug hard. I've owned FB's EK's EH's HR's and even a HD but never an FC.

This morning my daughter and I went and had a look at an FC, and not long after we were off to the bank.

Here it is, this is how I bought it except we gave it a quick wash to get the dust off and put a couple of tubes in the front wheels.

Nah Scotty, Hunny doesn't cock her leg, but she did a great job licking what looked like bird poop off the front bar.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Your right Harko I don't think I'll be in the market for your van. :lol:

Blacky it has 27000 something miles on it.

I have this little bloke to thank for the FC. If it wasn't for him I would have been at work and missed out on it.

He was running late but finally showed up yesterday afternoon at 4.50pm, 3.78kg, 50cm, he's our second and last child. His name is Eeli. So that is why I was busy yesterday, thanks for all the comments on the FC and hopefully I can get some work done on it over the next four weeks.
Cheers

Well I had a bit of time off with the arrival of the new bub. Didn't get nearly as much done on the FC as I'd like but still got a few things done. Got it running, still can't drive it as no brakes or clutch, but it runs :D . Buffed the roof, boot and rear 1/4 flash on both sides. Also removed the carpet and seat covers so you can see how good the interior is.
A few pics

Great score, if you do sell it I hope it goes to someone who will keep it original, it is a fine example of an FC
