Hey Paul, that EK is a striking resemblance to my old car, but its not the same car, i sold it to a guy who lives in st claire n.s.w in 2004, i called him 4 years ago with a generous offer to buy it back but unfortunateley he declined, any way here is a pic for anyone interested:

Yeah, that was one of the best EK's I'd ever seen - that resto-rod

Cheers

Hey bebop .Here is the one I just bought.What sort of suspension set up etc were you running as that is the ride height I am after.
Thanks Mick

Hi Mick,

Nice EK, i had the rear lowered by 2 inches, the front end was a HR disk with 3 inch lowered heavy duty Torana springs. The rubber used was Yokahama radial 352, size: 205/60/13. Rims were 7 inch slotted deep dished Torana units, front rims wre made offset by Neway wheels in Heidelberg to clear the disc calipers.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Joe.

Yeah - Joe, you really know how to build an eye-catching car!

Thanks for the reply Joe
Mine has the HR disc front end as well so were they LC-LJ springs or LH-LX and did you have to modify the bumpstops at all.
Thanks again Mick

Springs were LC-LJ, lower bump stops are smaller than stanadard EK ones and dont need modifying, unless you go really low than you could possibly cut the HR ones with a serrated knife, ive done that before on standard EK bump stops.
