Yeah, so many bugs, luckily no locust, but got caught driving abit later then I would have liked heading into ballidonia.
Still have to clean all the squashed ones out of the engine bay haha

not much has been happening with the EK lately...

now has WA rego, and have just been driving it whenever i can. Flat black paint is starting to look a little sad, so im thinking a colour change is in order...inside and out. but probably wont happen until the end of the year.

Also ordered another set of white wall flappers for the old girl - now i need your opinions - keep the rims white (would repaint them) or paint them the same colour as the roof?......decisions!!

New project on the cards - want to make this a hot grey.

Not sure on any details of it, but it must go alright because it's got a few bits painted red.
So if anybody has grey performance parts at reasonable prices let me know :)

P.s- my first engine build so will be lots of learning to come

Thanks for the encouraging comments on the wagon woody, after looking at what you did with your sedan im starting to think the custom look with a lace painted roof would look ccool? love the look of the satin black and green lace roof looks sweet! have you got a wagon project on the go too?

Thanks mate, the black is starting to look a bit ratty lately, the pics make it look better.
I am thinking of painting over the black with the standard seaforth green, but will see if I can get it in a satin finish...one day!.yup I've got a wagon project on the go, the sedan has been sent back to daily duties, and once that's finished it will be the sedans turn for some more lovin :)
