Hey guys new to this.
Here is a picture of my 1960 Fb wagon which i restored myself, running a genuine 186 x2 motor (from Hr x2prem) Hr front suspension, front disk brakes and LSD diff also from a HR.
Still has factory upholstery, now running 14" wheels due to 13" wheels not clearing the calipers.
Maybe up for sale soon.

Well done mate, very nice looking wagon

. A nice FB shell like that should shut-up some of the EK (FB bashers)

Ah I thought they were HR, I have done the same on my FB wagon (Ht/g), like the wheels you have anyway

Yes not much rust at all -( have more pics) just striped and painted due to old paint was flaking off and it had some over spray on the rubbers -just did not look right -that how I bought the car with 138 grey and drums
Now replaced with all new door rubbers ,weather strips ,bailey channels , and window rubbers .
