Hi All
Just picked up my FB Ute Farm find and have noticed that is is a bit difficult to track down Headlight peak rust panels. Is there any one in Australia selling them .

Cheers - Rob

G'day Rob, welcome to the forum mate have you tried Taylors in QLD ??? I don't know if they do them but is worth a shot - if not they come up on Epay fairly regularly.

Got any photos of your ute ????

Cheers. ....Been trolling this side for a while now and its extremely inspirational. ...will post up a pic when i work out how to do it.....Got plans for LS1 with auto ,disc brakes, maybe 4 link tear end ...Thanks

sweet - Tapatalk is how I post pics these days

Sorry about the spelling....its fat fingers and phones dont mix ...Rob

Hey Rob,
Welcome to the forum and pleased to hear you are working to save a ute. There are some folk on here that really appreciate the merits of an Aussie icon in the FB / EK Utes.

Look forward to seeing some pics of your car.

Here she is

Welcome Rob - Go the Utes!!!!

Second that Taylors for the rust panels - I didn't have a super smooth transaction with him but his panels are good - they have the proper 1.6mm Aus steel and rares are 1.2mm unknown source - still better than trying to make yourself and both reasonably priced I think.

Look forward to seeing your progress

Thanks for that .....Have just left a message with him ....i also thought i nailed a photo but its not to be ....will get there......Also purchased an FJ Sedan from the same farm which i want to flick....and have just finished building a VC valiant with a fuel injected slant six with rack and pinion steering and 4 wheel disc brakes.....Gotta love a project :.......Rob

Welcome Robo
You will find heaps of input and some good advice here. Great to see another ute saved.
Did your farm fund come for out Burra way ?

Thanks Roger.....Farm find was from waikarie. ..Cheers

Rob (2),

What sort of condition is the FJ in? Just curious . . .
Seems that South Australia still has "farm finds" to be found. I remember seeing a green FE sedan on a property just west of Renmark where the Berri bypass turns off the Sturt Highway.

The FJ is ok ...has lots of surface rust and the LHF upright is missing....also bought the front end from a HD as well....The farmer has heaps of cars but is reluctant to sell anything. ...He doesnt like Holdens and they were out the back of the shed rusting way....there is also a FC wagon up there that is rotten to the core which was the one i really wanted until i saw it wasc a total basket case.....I wish these people would sell the before they rotted into the ground so someone else could enjoy them ......Rob

Hey Rob,
Hope you might get a chance to chuck a couple pics of your ute on the forum soon. Always interested to see what has turned up in our backyard.

Regards
Stephen

Rob,

I see this person is selling rust replacement pieces for FB/EK guards.
