Hey Blacky

Is there a club meeting on this Tuesday and if so where? Have been meaning to get to a meeting for ages but due to work and other comitments have never made it. I will bring the EK for a run.

Cheers

Hi Blacky and the rest of the crowd,

I am interested in joining the club but like some others i thought it was only for fe/fc owners. By the sounds of things my stock ek sedan would be right at home there. How about sending me some info and an application form. Look forward to hearing from you soon ...

trev,

I will take one if the quality is right.

Thanks for all the comments guys. To tell the truth I didnt realise that the front overriders were FB until you pointed it out. I will now have to hunt around for a set of EKs. Terry, the 3.36 ratio is great for cruising on the main roads and freeways although you do lose a bit of acceleration (it ...

Looks great blacky. I agree that it could use a bit of a roof chop but either way it is going to be one impressive machine when its finished. What sort of powerplant are you going to run?

I have finally got some pictures of my EK. so here they are.

Plan to get some photos organised soon.

Have just purchased a new headlining to fit into my EK sedan. Is this a job that can be done by myself or is it best left to the experts? Does anyone know roughly what it would cost to get it done professionally? I am good with most of the mechanical side but dont have much experience with trim. I ...

The same thing has happened to me on a few occasions lately. The problem comes when the bonnet adjustment bolts get bent and catch on the grill support brace making it impossible to open the bonnet without lots of swearing and brute force applied. I havent yet worked out a good way to put ...

Thanks for the tips. I hope to get the engine painted and back in the car shortly.

Nice to see a web site dedicated to fb & ek holdens and not one of the hundreds of sites for the eh. Keep up the good work.
I am wondering if someone can help with my ek resto. I am trying to find out if the accesories on a grey motor were all painted in the same colour as the motor. eg starter ...
