Good call Mate. I'm at Canungra just near Mt Tamborine. Fixed the profile.

G'day All,

Returned from the sandpit and straight back into the EK ute project (aka Tilly). Kids named her.

Cheers,

Steve

Trev,

I'm on the Gold Coast Hinterland near Tamborine. I'll consider freighting if the part is good enough.

Cheers mate,

He's doing the right thing by me on price so I can't complain. I feel much more at ease now I have an expert doing the body ...

Thanks Muza. This forum has been so valuable to date. Thanks mate. Coldies cracked by the way.

Hi Fellas,

Been off line for a while, but I have been busy with the ute.


My plan is to restore to original as much as possible but I am considering front disk brakes. Does anyone have any advice on that?

Much appreciated.

G'day,

I'm new to the resto game. I recently picked up this 62 EK Ute from a good friend. It had been in their family since new.

It was a daily driver about 2 years ago but has been neglected in a paddock and has a fair bit of the red cancer. I have a good mechanical knowledge but ...
