Building my dream EK Wagon...

[EKV8WAGON]

Hi All,
As promised,I have some current pics of the build,so far all going to plan(your right choppedfan,I am working to a plan)
Planning an old school look with Halibrand wheels,centre cap with spinner knock offs,none of this low profile stuff.
Got wheels sitting under the car,9 inch has been measured,getting cut & shortend as we speak,
Love the car to sit that low but it will sit at least 2 inches higher.
There`s no going back to stock now...

Have you tubbed it ? They look too big to fit in a stock wheelwell

Thanks Everyone for all the positive feedback(except for the one comment about butchering it )
I will be fitting a Coolaride external sunvisor,scratch plates & rear side Nasco venetians which all come with the car when purchased.
Trying to keep it looking stock with modified wheels/driveline... John

Well done John....an absolute pearler
I'm too respectful to modify an original car like that (not that mine's stock) but hey, that's me, I still like the look of where you are heading with this project.
Can't wait to see some more pics!

Details, Details, Details............rim/tyre size you've used?, tubbed to the chassis rails or full tub?, what engine/gearbox ya gonna use?......we love details here

Keep up the good work...........Bob.

Thanks DocBob,she is an absolute pearler,if it had the original paint,I would have only polished & drive her stock.
Starting to piece up the hr front end,gearbox will be a turbo 350(fully manulised)3:55 F##d 9 ",leaf spring rear end & for the pony at front,either a 307 or 327,depending on how big I can legally go.The bigger ci,the bigger hp,waiting on engineer to confirm...
Will post more pics when more gets done...
