My EK project

Jas, I got plenty of side plates if you need a few to cut and paste!
Cheers Theo Z....................

Go on Jase you know you want too....

[Sputzwagon]

I think this present build is the one you're gonna keep "'till death do you part", Jase.
There's heaps more kustom touches in it this time around..it'll be a 'better' version on the original.

Yeah,Im gonna keep this one,as far as the sideplate a mate of a mate is making one
out of 10mm aluminium plate(as per cardboard template),should be interesting.
I think converting a grey sideplate to a red would be to hard,way to hard.
am still tossing around paint/trim colours(even though its a little way off)
have thought an old holden gold/red trim
or that pretty hq blue/greenish colour,something old 72 or earlier

[Sputzwagon]

Are you going to do a laced roof or scallops etc, Jase?
I like the HQ Metallic Turquoise idea..would look flash on that custom! I think Gold has been done too often lately.

thats it,the nice 72 colour,my uncle Jim had one ,he painted them or touched them up in NZ when they had a biggish plant near Petone,Trentham had a &*#@ plant,
had to wait for a new car back then nice colour,lace mmmm lace mmmmmmmmmm $*#@ lace,lace is nice
maybe a shadow on the bonnet and boot
who knows? I might like it down the sides old style like one Trev has posted
would look nice on a new car,better than a princess decal

Shit,a massive spanner has been thrown,(in the works)
Ive been waiting to catch it for so long, my first house with my wife and kids
the ek will be taking a back seat,not unloved for a bit,
Got a place we can afford at Loganlea 1230 sq m block
want a 6x12x2.4 shed Titan ,allowed 10g for the shed
But its a flood block so the council take 1500(flood) + 816(building a shed)
7200 for the kit ,2000 for the concrete,1500 for the lights/power
Im doing all the actual work,(erection,diggin,.screwing)kinda getting a bit exited
Any tips,would be great + o r -
Cheers Jase

lucky bugger (getting a nice big shed), only tip i can give is take your time, and if funds allow put a thicker slab in so if later on you want to put a hoist in the floor will be enough to support it
its a shame about the car taking a back seat, i really like watching this build and can't wait to see it come together with some colour
cheers, luke.

Mate - if council will allow it - go for 3 metre walls on your shed , it doesnt cost a whole lot more and it makes a hell of a lot of difference having an extra 600 mm of height.

[Devilrod]

You won't know yourself with all that space Jase!!! Congrats man.

[ben jones]

Do a bit of research on the flood zone bit you don't want that coming back to bite you on the arse

other than that have fun with your erection and screwing

[Mick Jagger]

cheers fellas,Im struggling in the $ department but I want/need as big as I can
else the height would be next on my list along wiht a thicker slab etc...
I cannot go above $12g unless I have no power .
Ben as far as all the flood searches go Im quite sure its a revenue raiser
its at the top of a rise with a new estate down below
Would have/could have made it myself for a lot cheaper,
just couldnt handle the paperwork,shame they make it so hard,
my shed would be stronger than a titan.

[Mick Jagger]

Getting the Ek holden ready to move so I bolted the back stuff on,nearly forgot that the attic is full,(of good shit)
wrote myself a note.. looks so kool with the lights and bumper on,or so I think
thanks Sunnyrob ,for an awesome idea
have a new spot to put me beer

[Sunny Rob]

Good luck with the move n the new shed Jace.

[Mick Jagger]

Put the deposit on "THE SHED" today,told Rod (nice salesman)That" Im lucky Ive got a Titan",I thought it was slightly hilarious.
Poor buggers probably heard it 100s of times before.
anyway getting it 2.7 high instead of 2.4 for only $400 more,might have to sell some parts
It will be mine ,oh yes it will be mine,
I could go on about all night

[Mick Jagger]

still in the progress of moving,,have taken the cubby house,plants ,some bikes ,more plants bbq etc
the ek is moving with me ,hope it will get on a trailer,
I HATE MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we move on the 20/11
