looks like some hard work just to make a twin for my ek.
There was an fe/fc overlander on another forum, mate dont even think of it, it looks CRAP (my opinion anyway).
All you gotta do is spend more time in the garage, less time in the bedroom/factory .... rewarding contraception. Then when its finished, look for another project.

well guys i've got the net back on and i'm living in Mannum SA.
my wife and i bought the local tyre shop so the time factor has gone out the window.
when i get a chance to pull the EK out of the container and finish her i'll post up some more pics.

Welcome to SA Tom!
Looks like another reason to head to Mannum each year... Not that one needs an excuse.
Look forward to watching your progress once you settle in.
Cheers,

"Dropped" by Tom's Tyre Shop today (Advantage Tyres, turn right next to the BP as you are heading into Mannum from Palmer), a nice big well setup shop for tyres and brakes.
Not a lot of progress yet on the EK, hopefully once I deliver some trim he'll get off his arse
