I think I had just painted Rustys dads EK (black enamel with "Enamel Add") I may, of may not have got the odd run, as enamel isn't my friend. I think I also painted the front of my bonnet (In Dulon) as the cars were being used in a friends wedding. I think Scotty had one (cameo beige) and there was another pink one as well, a real peach! I look like the morning after the night before. Also, note the "Tar Babies" and whitewalls, expertly applied with acrylic house paint!
Tony Tarts em up.

..Ahh yes.. my Cameo Beige EK sedan named the B52! (as the entire exhaust system was muffler bandage & wire!, and was prone to blow a hole through it every day...hence the name! ).
As an add-on to this story, this car was unfortunatly sunk in the Nepean River by the next (owner?) ..I use the word owner...but it was a bloke that actually stole it from me. I had it up for sale (to get started on my VG coupe) and he came over to buy it but needed to get the cash from his bank (his story!), so he left me some mags as holding deposit ( four 14x 7" Dragways with new TA's) and took the car to his place then was supposed to return to my place with the cash. Needless to say he never came back and a few days later I had a visit from the Police who wanted the towing cost paid by me for getting the EK out of the River!!!!! I told them the tale I just told you and they were very understanding as they knew this bloke VERY WELL! But I had to give them the mags he gave me back to them as they too were stolen goods...
I was young and very DUMB!

Tim. Different time frame. Photo was taken before spats. I hadn't cut and buffed it yet as I'd just painted it (was cataract grey) Anyway. Operation EJ Timing Gear was a success. Car goes. Thanks again for the gear.
