hey, just looking at powerplant options for my son's FB, it was registered here with a red and 5 speed Toyota (which seem to be getting thin on the ground) reading elsewhere people were saying the Falcon T5 into Torana's but by the looks of them they are a big unit and would need more work then a To...

by the looks I may not make the swap, but might be in your neighbourhood around that time (Pukehina) .

should be there.... did I hear a rumour you were getting some gear gone ?

Hey All, the guys from the FX-EK (F series) owners group on Facebook are talking about having a gathering at the pack on Breach road, 401 Beach Road, Whangamata Sat 2nd April at 12.30.
Hope to see some interesting old Holden's there this year.

Hey all, who is heading up to Kumeu ?
I will be working there (on the CFR Line stand, talking car shipping) just for a change, but look forward to getting out and about to see what's there .
Feel free to drop by and say hi, I should have a chilly bin full of cold drinks too.

nice clean looking sill too....

yup a slightly newer dinosaur.... back in the day there were some quick rovers and Roger Freeth ran a TWR one here in a Toyota Starlet based very modified all comers car.

I used to wonder about rover/P76 V8 into an FB/EK does anyone know if its been done, I figured with the light weight and buildable power they might be a good fit. These days its about as retro as using a red vs the options available now but still interested if anyone had.

that would have to be pretty close to the best original one about you would think, most here in NZ have a bunch more rot then that. I would go down the clean it up as much as you can while leaving original road as much as you can if I were you, otherwise you are in for a ton of time and money to act...

looking at the old Plates on it reminded me my dad used to know all the local ones as the different area post offices got different sequences when they changed to black and silver I remember him telling my brother that his EK was from Waiuku and from memory the FB was Pukekohe or similar too.

the big ash fall from Ruepehu a couple of years back apparently did a lot of damage with accelerating the rust there, I haven't taken a good look in ages.

pretty sure the white one is an NZ car, will keep an eye out. photo looks like Kumeu show.

My old EK is hiding in a mates shed in your neighbourhood....... about 12k out of Cambridge northbound on 1b
You want to be carefull or I might get you looking at cars in Houston (I ship cars for a job and often have people wanting stuff looked at in the USA, me included).

Good looking car Thomo, where in the Waikato are you when not in Houston....

Nice to meet you on the weekend, figure I better grab those door cards my friends had, you don't know anyone looking for a rear seat for a wagon ?
Just unpacked an FX out of Aussie this morning and booked an FE ute to come over from Melbourne for a customer.
