Hey guys, Gonna sell the wagon shortly as I just bought a `69 camaro,(the dark side is strong) that`s gonna need a truck load of work.Looking at 27 000 as that`s what the engine/turbo/gearbox cost me alone.If anyone is seriously interested I can run through the pages of mods.Cheers Ken

Sux to be living so far away, would be good to do the diner cruise thing.

Thanks for the posts fellow fb/ek er's!!

Alot of "behind the scene" stuff going on at the moment, should have some paint pics soon. Here is the front guards back to bare metal and final prefit...... bring on that Black paintwork!!

man I thought I did a lot of modifying on mine,I am but a lowly amateur compared to your engineering level :)Oh and I know it`s a bit late but there was an ek here a few years back running in nostalgia drags and he had a set of billet bonnet hinges with struts that looked great and were compact ...

I love the engine/Turbo option that you went with.

Wouldn't mind one myself!!!

You do it to please yourself....everyone doesn't have to like or agree with what you have done....as long as you love it!

Gas
Ta mate,agree totally. I love it sometimes more than others as I am still sorting out the ...

Hey ekturbo, I like your taste in wheels!! I'm running 205x45s all round, gives the same rolling diameter as the orig 13's or near enough to, so keeps it a little lower. Since I'm running commodore discs and stud pattern the commodore offset tucks the wheels in more, esp at the back, there is ...

What size tyres are you running? Mine scrub as it is and your car looks a bit lower. I`m running 225/16/50 back, 205/16/50 fronts. The backs aren`t too bad but the fronts scrub whenever I brake hard.

Get ya own mags :) . Really nice ride mate.Mine started as a family cuiser as well, beware the "just a bit better" bug. You can actually make the tailgate remote locking as well,you just make a pin that the solenoid fires up into the handle mechanism(piggyback it to one of the rear door solenoid ...

I am truly impressed by the work your doing. I spoke to an engineer today and he said in qld this sort of setup would never pass,but, unofficially he told me to make it look factory as much as possible(specially the tubs and chassis) and will probably never be noticed. Bloody silly govt depts in qld ...

Probably brett stevens trying to cut costs to pay fines

Great looking car,
I was never a fan of any type of turbo or jap car ever although once you drive a good one I understand why people do like them. The car that converted me (well only slightly) was a mazda rx3. These things are rockets light weight and handle like they are on rails. Back to the ...

Fellow I met at a car show had his clubby there, saw I was wearing a summernats shirt of a particular year. Apparently he won top street award for a clubbie with big wheels and a bolt on supercharger with a little bit of custom interior in that year I was there. Completely good guy don`t get me ...

FIRST nice car :) if you look around you'll see what i think of commondores aswell they are just something to drive and VL's are the worst of them for that reason (jap motor)
but this is just my opinion so it doesn't really matter
i'm not anty jap either just don't like 'em in holdens
have a mate ...

Nice bud, am looking at tubbing mine soon but I have been told modifying the chassis and the wheel sizes I want are illegal in qld.Are the sedans and wagons different setup regarding rear chassis and wheel wells? I can`t tub mine I think without installing a new rear chassis. You have done a nice ...

Damn nice car ekturbo 8) Mate a set of steelies and hubcaps and i reckon you have the ultimate sleeper
Ye ta bud, I went for the mild look. I took it to the brissie powercruise last year and blew the doors of a few of the bigger cars :D. My best moment was when a lad in an injected chevy powered ...
