Re: Family Affair Ek Ute
Had a look at their website and it appears a lot of stuff is nil stock - a phone call might be in order ???
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Family Affair Ek Ute
I did check with walkers he doesn't do them , does the sheet metal part that bolts to the firewall.
Panel beater is going to repair the ones of the original k frame and fit them to the new k frame.
Got all the front end stripped Saturday now to blast paint and make new . Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

It looks like they have been raised up with patches welded underneath. Good for sump clearence to draglink with an EH sump red six but otherwise potentially problematic either way driveline angle and firewall/tunnel clearance.

Was on the road for 10 years as a daily running that front end and red motor never had any issues

Cheers mate , pretty lucky the panel beater works from home fulltime and only takes on one job at a time . He has done a cracking job super happy.FireKraka wrote:Hi Sneezy man you are really moving forward at a fast rate great to see major milestones being ticked off, look forward to seeing colour on your Ute mate.
Can't wait to see what the cottesloe cream looks like haven't really found many that colour to go off seems a bit rare .
