Thanks Stewart
Im located on the bayside in Bisbane.
Have owned the car for about 5 years.
Still has grey motor and three on the tree, drum brakes, never had seat belts fitted. Extractors were fitted when i bought it and dragway mags (since removed in favor of stocko's). iv'e lowered it 2" and refitted the original steering wheel.
Mate has a Sydney built FB ute, he is going to write down the numbers for me and i will post them as well and a photo of the plate as well.
Regs

Gday All
Found an EK Special wagon in a shed recently. Its for sale - must be removed. It's been there since 1999.
I suspect it may have been resprayed after previous rust repairs. A quick (inexpert!) inspection revealed -
interior surprisingly good except for front seat and front armrests
door cards real good, headlining great except for small split/bit hanging down (at back left corner)
Front floors seem good (previously replaced?) sub-frame seems real good'
rear floors rusty - need replacement
Outer sills not good; previously bogged up, inner sills seem good
12000 miles; general wear on interior would indicate this is 112000
couldnt get eng nbr; too dark in shed (apply this to all info above!)
but eng appears to be a reco (irridescent blue paint on side plate)
clutch n brake pedals wont move, appears to be stuck in gear or more likely, brakes seized.
But its all there. Damage to lr guard.
body EK 229 M9345 M
Trim 772-972
Paint 585-4620
(roof?) 585-0246
Could anyone here decipher those numbers; I would be interested to find out if the current maroon/ white top paint is original colours.
I know there is probably somewhere here on the forum to get this info, but I'm a computer illiterate old fart n cant find it.
This car is up for sale; house sold, car must also go; I dont think I want it; a friend is looking at it, but if he declines it could get crushed and that would be a crying shame. Another local bloke has next option, but I reckon he'll just put it on evilbay - not do it up.
Any help re numbers above would be appreciated
Car is in western Vic. Must be removed within a month. When I checked it out, I didnt have a camera, but could possibly get some pics if anyone interested
cheers jack

Hi JC, this wagon was made in (what is now a very rare colour) "Madang Maroon" mainly found on EJ's. The roof is Snowcrest white!

Thanks Steve. When looking at the trim colours, I figured the maroon and white was probably original colour; a bit of blue paint under the maroon caused some doubt, plus I've never seen a stock FB/EK this colour.
