Nice to see a web site dedicated to fb & ek holdens and not one of the hundreds of sites for the eh. Keep up the good work.
I am wondering if someone can help with my ek resto. I am trying to find out if the accesories on a grey motor were all painted in the same colour as the motor. eg starter motor, generator, inlet & exhaust manifolds, fan etc. Does anyone have any colour photos of the engine bay of an original ek or fb. Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks for the tips. I hope to get the engine painted and back in the car shortly.
