The Sawtell & Burchill EK lives!

It was rebuilt after the rollover. Sadly Ted Burchill passed last year, good news is the car belongs to his son Ed.
Had a long chat with Laurie Sawtell, great guy for the record. The car has had extensive body modifications now, apparently looks a lot different ...

Hi,

Thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone else is going? perhaps a chance to meet other forum members.
Will be parked down in the middle of b_tt F no where down the back of the pits, keep an eye out for beige HG panelvan, or sweet looking EH ute, blueish grey, both S/ST.

Hey Sam,

good to hear from you.

I gave up drinking and am 80kg now










Bwagahaha=ahahahah cough cough
are you going to the Nationals next weekend?

There is an EK being raced by Gabby Curry from Griffith with all the fiberglass, small block Chev etc, apparently weighs around 2150lbs :shock: :shock:


That means around mid 8's with 720hp!! I am looking for 850-900hp, gulp, realistically I think mine will be heavier, anyway time to get this into ...

Yes it is, however I bought it off a guy in Syd, I picked it up off evilbay for $4650, sold off a lot of the parts and engine, it now owes me the princely sum of approx $2k as a roller. another $20-25k should get it to the track!

Would like to know who built this originally?? I have spoken to one ...

Ok, so the trail led to Rod Andrews Race cars in Seven Hills, turns out he has moulds for
Bonnet
Guards
Boot lid
fornt doors

:D

he is going to work a price out and come back to me.

Also Jeff mentioned that he has some new old stock that he will be off loading, including boot, bonnet, side ...

I will start a build thread shortly, get some pics of the bare block / turbo / prep etc.
cheers

I will hold off on calling him then, let me know if he has anything, I would definetly be interested in a full front clip instead of the individual panels I currently have !

cheers

I know who your talking about now. Will see what I can find out
cheers for that

Thanks, yes have been thinking of giving it a go, not sure there would be a market to sell any though?

I have a bootlid already, may just cut webbing out etc, and weigh it ? may not be whole lot of advantage with a fiberglass one then???? thinking out loud now, still if anyone comes across one let ...
