After the brass 4 way hard line brake union juction block thingy on drivers side front of EK with disc brake front off HR, inlet on top from booster, (slightly larger than the 3 outlets) two outlets to front of car (one to each side) and one to the rear of the car. Must be willing to ship to NZ, or ...

Hopefully theres a trick to it, was fine with the old shit ones, that fell apart when removing for paint, not looking forward to slamming my doors for the next two years though, thats a bit rediculous, scares the crap out of my lil kids in the back!

New paint, check.
Clean properly prepped rubber channels in all doors, check.
Brand new rare spares rubbers fitted as per instructions, check.
Doors impossible to close, check.
One can of rubber magic spray later doors can slam close, check.
A few weeks later wash car, inside of car full of water ...

Cheers guys! Yeah, after I bought it in a very delapitatated state, I drove it home about 50kms and that scared me enough to never drive it again untill I had done the brakes, steering and suspension at least, so a quick tidy fix up turned into a much longer job as always as we all know!
To ...

Got it back in.... I wasn't in the mood for pulling my restored steering wheel off and taking out my gauge cluster again (although the way rosco did it sounds like it would work fine) so I hammered half a dozen big flat bladed screw drivers into the spring which opened it up a bit, hooked the dash ...

Apparently swearing at your clutch return spring (from the dash to top of pedal lever) doesn't make it go back on, nor does the other dozen tricks I have tried, all of which also included swearing, not to mention a sore back from lying on the floor of my wagon plus approximately 10 or so skinned ...

Its a kiwi personalised rego plate I used to have on one of my old wagons in NZ years ago... back when full word plates cost less than $400!

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 ...

Pretty much finished, only little things to go, trim, badges and rubbers.
Running HR front, HQ stubs, commodore discs, 16" chrome wheels, commodore rear mounted rack and pinion, collapsable column, tidy 186, 4 spd manual, cable accelerator, nolathane bushes everywhere, 4 door remote central locking ...

Mez, I don't know why I didn't think of Jacksons before! They really do have the best selection of everything, went in there to pick out the new vinyl and cloth for the interior a while back now, well, before I decided to just get some mexican blankets. Yup, I know podrodder, I catch up when I can ...

Thanks Ben, I'll do just that, will get into town over the next week and find ones that match, is a bit hard with the pics in online catalogues. Was going to make some up at work, but they are a little fiddly!

Super cool cars! After goin for a smooth quiet cruise in your wagon I can't wait to go for a bumpy loud spin in the sedan!

After removing my side flash ready for paint, most of the little clips that are screwed onto the doors and guards are just that, screwed! All rusty, and some broken, had a browse on rarespares and couldn't find the replacements, am I blind or has anyone had any luck tracking down the correct ...

yep, great wheels, excellent quality! no dish change/deep dish for for the rear wheel offset though for you oldschoolers, the spokes are out near the front edge of the rim regardless of the offset, which is the look I was after anyways, saves going narrowed diff too, well, for me with the offset I ...

16x7 chrome speedy malibu's, wanted to keep a classic kinda look, sim to old school dragways but modern, very happy with them, glad i didn't go 17's or beyond like orig plans, they sit just right!
