Restoring EK Special
Re: Restoring EK Special
Looks to me like it was originally light blue, what do the tags say ???
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Hi mate

Think the tags have been changed at some stage

The tags say seagull grey and a white roof, the colours you have posted look like seagull grey.The 240v socket you posted next to the fuel tank is pretty normal for a 1960s trailer light wiring. The key under the dash is 1970s, not original cut.
The kill switch is pretty normal for most old holdens too.'

it got there cause i am an idiot , yes its does say its seagull grey

Re: Restoring EK Special
Hey guys
It's been a while since last post so just an update. I have striped the entire front end of the new grey ek and have removed motor and gear box from green ek , not much left of her now.
The new grey ek had a nice surprise when removing front sub frame I also removed the drivers side mount it was completely rusted out, a lot more rust behind there then expected .
Got a new welder last week about to start The repairs, also picked up another front subframe from down in Cowra great condition just 2 small holes, so that issue sorted .Apart from the body now I have all rust free panels , also scored a NOS passenger side replacement sill, so all in all its still moving along nicely.
