Hi Col.
Great photo, Ive never seen an FJ with that conversion. Would you call it a Continental rear end ?
Cheers.

Re: Early Holden accessories
Hiya Richard, usually called a Continental kit when it's on an American car ( also is generally a complete spare wheel and cover with an extension of the bumper to contain it all), but this one on the FJ is a faux continental kit.....kinda nifty tho..... 
Re: Early Holden accessories
Well i'll be buggered Nasco bought out a bootlid just so the mexicans could stow their hats when travelling.... How Col
.....ooops COOL is that. 
The best after market mod i ever seen fitted to an Fj was on my mates dads FJ panelvan back in the 60s. He owned a chook farm and use to get trailer loads of sawdust from the local sawmill.
As the farm became bigger he needed more sawdust. So he cut the roof out of the FJ and just drove in under the silo.
He use to honk the horn when the sawdust use to start pushing the bench seat forward. Then drive forward and fill the trailer... The very beginnings of what we now know as "truck and dog" combinations in the trucking industry....
Aaaw c'mon guys .. stop crying.. i wasnt the one that cut the hole in the FJ Van roof..

Here is a photo of a convertible FX I came across a couple of years ago at a car show in Wollongong. From memory the owners had just purchased it , and were getting used to it.

Hi Col.
Not a bad find. Dont you just love when people just offer it to you rather than having to chase up bits and pieces.
Not a bad collection, but you did get me off the hook a bit as Linda thought I had a lot of stuff till I showed her your photos. Love the pedestal drill with the drive belt, they dont make them like that any more.

Re: Early Holden accessories
G'day Richard , yes ,the pedestal drill is a ripper.....bought it off Ebay last week ... a local guy had it and when we went around to pick it up in the old brown truck , he showed us an old Ford script valve radio.....so we bought that too.....then he said some '34 Ford headlights under the house .....so we've got to go back and see if we can have a bit of an expedition to check out what else he's got stashed......goodies...luv 'em......
