Thanks Hewey, it's got a way to go yet. your ute is too cool. I think the colour and it's stance really gives it attitude.

What colour is that paint Tim ????????
We are just doing up our original EK Wagon and your colour looks very similar to what the missus has picked out!
The rim/tyre combination's the same too!

Nice job mate, looks stunning.

Hi Doc Bob
The colour is "hot House Green".
Holden Monaro colour. I couldn't stand fitting new crome on a car that had a paint colour that looks
like under coat. Hope to have it out and about soon. It looks better in the sun. I'd love to have
done a wagon in the same colour.
Tim

Looks great Tim,

Bit effort gone into that rebuild, very straight indeed, and rust free. Awesome :wink:

Cheers Tim.....
A bit hard to tell the color with photo's!
The missus has picked out the new Commonwhore color "Poison Ivy" for the main body and our Panel beater/Painter reckons a Nissan Metallic cream with pearl for the roof and rims. :o
Should look different!
How did you go finding the badges for your ute?????
We need a coupple for the wagon, but are unsure where to start looking :?:

keep up the good work.........Bob.

Head lining, interior started, rubbers done and front/rear screens in. Still so much to do, but the big jobs list is getting smaller. The only problem with that is the little jobs list gets bigger! And everyone knows that some times it's the little jobs that you have the most grief with.

It's getting close now, but you're right those little jobs can sometimes be more than you expect.

One step forward three back at the moment. I'm replacing the EK front bumper and trying to find someone to re finish the steering wheel. I won't make the nationals but hope to join a club and be cruising by Christmas. Got the seat in recently too.
