I sent SCK a PM asking the very thing tony when I posted! Time to get some of my stockers with wides, bars & lowered. Are you going to do the same with your EK?

Wasnt thinking of selling wheels, was just going to 'store' them for a rainy day/ next project. PM me an offer if you're keen and I'll get back to you.
Cheers,

SCK,
Sorry for hijacking your post.
Steve,
I have a set of 14's and some imported Hubcaps like the ute in the post below, am currently looking for a set of twin carbies and i'll add a new exhaust system as well. The rest will stay original.

SCK,
great looking van i reckon all you gotta do is complete it now.
Love the colour ,the wheels the shape etc. etc. just being a biased van owner.
I know when i was completing mine all those years ago i got a sniff that the end was in sight and that made me even more determined to complete it sooner than later.
Hope to see it at NATS next year.

Nice Panno SCK, I've just got mine on the road, But for mine I did all the mechanicals and cut and polished the paint after finding it sitting in a barn for ten years. Its Strata Blue looks similar to yours, Will try to post some photos but I don't have a six pack lol.
Cant work out how to post any pics maybe later

Hey SCK, Lets try that again

This is how I found it but the wheels and tyres had to be put on

How she is at the moment

Check those crazy wheels.
Not bad for just cut'n'polish.
I still think yours is Kool'n'Smooth
How are you going to fit the air con vents and where?

Thanks ratbox,
For something that sat for a long time the dredded rust hadn't affected it too much. We replaced a couple of subframe legs and a collapsed floor cross member and then we started with running gear, New HR disc front end and rear new shocks, springs new brakes and I'm still playing with gearbox mount, But I'll leave the body the way it is to keep it real and not fully restored. I use it as my shop truck daily.
Cheers Thropzed.............

Hey SCK,
Yeh had too many threads in my head. The big dilemma now is do I Kruize to Yamba in the Panno or Kruize in the Sledan?[

SCK can't wait to see finished pics. It's looking really nice.
Hey Thropzed,
That's a wicked side profile. Love the subtle legburners and extra long spats.
Are the spats custom?

Hey FB search,Thanks, They call 'em kruizer skirts and they were made by Smooth Cruising at Beenliegh. Not cheap but great for hiding those scratches from standard spats. I put on a set of commercial guard spears to highlight, seems to work.
Cheers Thropzed.................
