EK Wagon parts or restore ?

[Finny]

OK, update time. Car is off the trailer. Got a 4WD and heavy duty chain, probably killed the tree but it's off.

Some pics of her resting in peace.





Rear tailgate was not attached.


Note the pretty moss, Nicely covers the whole car.


Natural flow through ventilation in all floor sections, add extra interior light.





Modified rear suppension. Note the diff has turned over, and fuel tank is vented at the bottom.


Will add some more pics of the interior next.

hey them over-riders look aite

[Finny]

Nick, if you were looking for the lower section from the rear wheel arch to the rear bumper, the passengers side is rusted out . Didn't check the drivers side.

[Finny]

J, they do look alright in the photo, didn't check them out that closely.

[retro]

looks like the ek has a japanese friend in the background. Good to see you making sure the scrap metal place didnt get any good bits.

[Finny]

OK, on to the interior.
Quite a few things missing, as you can see.





Front seat is a strange combo (FB style? or unique type), different to the rear in but same colours. Solid green at the front, green fleck in middle, and silver at the top.




Not quite sure what was nesting under the back seat


Will cut this out and keep it for new carpet insert, Original Holden vinyl floor emblem.


Cleaned up a bit of the seat to see the colour, would have been nice nice when new, Green fleck / Green.


Rear seats seem to be standard EK design. Didn't clean it but it's green also.


Will put the details from the ID tag on the other topic, seems to have a lot of other stuff on it. Originally made in Sydney.

Retro, the japanese friend is my second sons car, a skyline. Looks OK in the last photo. He had a fight with a tree. He lost
Not a straight panel or wheel left on it. He is very lucky to still be around. Engine was pushed into the passenger seat.

Hey Finny,

Nah mate.. the L shaped peice that is from the front of the rear wheel arch.. and joins to the sill. They don't have that with the repro sill panels and thats what i'm after.

Also any door handles / window winders / rear view mirror bits.. if they are any good at all. Side trim and Front bumper i'm also after.

If you wana let any of that stuff go.. let me know Mate.

Cheers,

Nick.

Hi Finny,
I'm after that NASCO roof rack if no one else has dibs on it...

[Finny]

Paroharo, it's definately NOT a Nasco. It's been bolted onto the roof and Just some heavy duty welded pipe. Do you really want it ?

Unfortunately there's no smiley face for "tongue planted firmly in cheek"...

Finny,

Are you still parting it out? I'm in need of a front bumper, door handles / window winders (inside and out) bonnet if its any good and the front subframe if thats any good.

Please get back to me mate.. need this items asap.

There's a couple of bits I can see that are useful, 1 auto column, and 2 hydro floor hump (if it's not rusted out ), Trev .

[Finny]

Well I really haven't got back to it again, to check all the items that everyone has asked about. It's parked at my parents property, so I have to drive out to it.

Hopefully this weekend, but time has a way of slipping past quickly. and I haven't even checked out all the bits I needed off it yet.

Lets slow down and smell the flowers, stress is a major killer.
