Stevos ek

[ekstevo]

I asked this on old holden yesterday but Ill check here as well if you dont mind.
have I lost a washer?

[ekstevo]

I finely opened a box of stuff Ive brought off the net and found it all to be there and couldn't find something wrong with at least one part.
Thanks streetneat (even thou i brought the bits from you that long ago i doubt you remember selling them).
We finely got the doors to fit nicely strange how the openings relaxed a bit while the doors where off for years. Not the little bit we lost during repairs

I would like to say ill paint it its final coat today but lets hope Ive finished by the end of the week.

List of parts I still need to buy
back passenger window

Im slowly putting the ek back together. Finding parts can be challenging at times dont lose the bolts.

[ekstevo]

the next mission.

any tips post on pulling the drag link apart and where what brands of tierod ends to buy?

[Trev]

remove the split pin in each end of the drag link, undo the plug down the tube with a fn big flat screw driver and a series of cups and springs should come out releasing the tie rod end .

[ekstevo]

Ive got the drag link In pieces lets hope I put it back together the same way it come apart.

How did you go putting the doors back on painted and getting them lined up?

[ekstevo]

Honestly I lost a little during rust repairs I guess and had to buggirse around abit to get them back on but they wheren't that hard to get on and Im quite happy with the way they fit now. Unless the Ek didnt fit together as well as I thought it did before we took it apart. I like the gaps to be right.
when I say buggerise around in the back right door jam I had to do some more painting as I had to hammer the bottom of the pilleir abit as I wasn't happy with the gap the first time It wasn't much wrong but it wasn't right I must of caused it as I a rust repair there.
