Thanks mate,They are only older tyres and whitewall flappers,I was just trying them to see if I like the look.I'll be buying new whitewalls for it now I like it.I can't run the Tasmans on it with the spats,they're to wide and can't fit them to the car unless I modify them.Love the old classic pic of the FE? wagon,coool.I will get a pic for sure when spats get here and I paint them!...:)

Yep she's an FE and did the trick back then no problems to really speak of. Although I do recall a small problem with the fibre timing gear going into a great pile of paper behind the timing cover /sump thought there was a bees nest n there !! We were in the back of beyond and it really didn't take to much to sort,most corner shops carried spares back in the day.
Look forward to your updated pics

and took the kingswood for a run too. only 3ft or so here at The Entraance. Gotta pull my finger out and post up some pics . I've still kept the hubcaps with original chrome slotted trims with my spats though. I have set of deep dish kidney 5 slotters, dont know what theyd look like with spats though? be interesting to see how your tasmans look. Where did you track down the spats Al?

I bought them off auto Cableshttp://www.ebay.com.....
I paid $260 but I see he's upped the price in the new year.
Yeah only small fun glassy waves here, 3 foot,no wind this morning..:)
Yeah pics mate of the HT would be good!..
If your kidney mags are 6 inch with 185/75/14 tyres the spats won't fit,if they are 5 inch with 175/75/14 tyres they will fit,they are out from the body(bottom of wheel arch) so spats won't go on.That's why I can't fit spats with Tasmans unless I modify the spats,somehow?
I ordered a new 10 footer single fin off Bob Brown,done old school style!...:)

Is he using his old school tissue paper logo?
BTW when you get your spats they may need some massaging to fit. They will prob bulge slightly to fit which might assist with bigger tyres. Ive never tried fitting mine with the mags so you may have a point. I run 185/75's and there isnt heaps of room where the spat drops down to the bottom of the wheel arch. I've never had an issue in 20+yrs and only just noticed as ive refitted them 2 days ago after fish oiling the whole car from front to back. I think the biggest i've fitted in the past are 205/75s? stretching the memory a bit now.
Mate, Fit the spats first before painting in case that slight massaging is needed.

Wheels look good Al (although I had a sneak preview). Are you gonna have the spats painted professionally? they might look outa place against the aged duco, maybe get 'em to had a little flattener .
It's a shame you had to fork out $260 for a set of spats, didn't Timbo promise you a pair for nix!
With your clearance issues with the Tasmans, fit a pair of cruiser skirts.

Thanks mate,I'll paint them myself,I painted the visor as you can see in the pic.If it doesn't look right I'll look at something like that.
Nah I couldn't get Tim to donate his to the Surfwagon Foundation,haha,unless I found some genuine HR one's to swap him.
Finding a pair of originals would be hard so they'll do,I thought of side skirts to and still might do something that way,see what happens when I get the spats, but for now I'll just change em over every now and then!..
