The Green Machine

Post by kermitek »

I have finally got some pictures of my EK. so here they are.
Its a stock standard 62 EK Special Sedan, bog stock 138 grey motor,three speed but i have changed the diff ratio to a 3.36. Interior is all origional except the cd player and carpet on the floor. Still needs a lot of minor work and chrome.

Blacky there was a Lightning bolt with your name on it heading your way......how dare you suggest taking an angle grinder to an original :wink: .....lucky for you that you recanted your evil remarks :wink:


Bloody nice original old girl you've got there.
How does the old grey handle the 3.36 diff ratio?

Terry.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Thanks for all the comments guys. To tell the truth I didnt realise that the front overriders were FB until you pointed it out. I will now have to hunt around for a set of EKs. Terry, the 3.36 ratio is great for cruising on the main roads and freeways although you do lose a bit of acceleration (it was never a speed machine anyway). The other advantage of the 3.36 diff is that your speedo reads in mph approx 1/2 what you are traveling in kph eg, 40mph on the speedo equates to about 80kph on the road so you dont have to bother with speedo conversions. Neat eh.

Cool, clean and cared for.
Tidy inside and out. Very nice looking car mate.

I hope she gets driven a bit, driving cars is the only way to show them you love them.

I love the green on green interior and white on green exterior.
Reminds me of a peppermint twist! luv it!
