NZ_EK's 61 EK project

Post by NZ_EK »

heres a few pictures of my EK

My basic plan is to:
repair all the rust
jam in a 253
disk brake front end
de-chrome and shave the door handles
and eveything else that needs to be done.

Why does the plate not have more codes on it?

so i finally have the car up on a rotisery that we through together out of stuff we found layin around.Now I've started wonderin about the width of wheels I could or coulnt use and wether to tub or not. With a bit of rough meauring i guessed i could use about 8-9 inch wide wheels, just gotta make a decision if thats wide enough haha.
So to tub or not to tub that is the question...

Just wondering??
