I have a list of everything I will be doing to it and it all started today!
Engine:
We actually ripped it apart this morning
Looks like a gasser!
Plan is to rebuild the engine with twin carbs and a trimatic.
The rocker cover will be polished as well as the carb manifold and various bits will be chromed.
We are putting in a new radiator and fuel tank, as well as getting it all properly wired (very dodgy job whoever did it before).
Wheels:
I pretty much just have to roll my guards, I will get the Hustlers Polished and put on a set of white band tyres. Will also make up some bullet center caps.
Suspension:
Well it will be interesting. Baggin the ass end of an EK is quite simple, if I choose to do it, it will be an air over leaf set up. This is a picture of an HR Holden, and the picture of the boot is one in an EK.
If I decide not to bag it, I will be re setting the leaf springs so the guard line sits about an inch off the rim.
Interior:
Will be pretty much like this:
Will have a fury headliner and white bandana print on the top half of the doors and on the seatcovers. Kick Panels which will also be under the dash (hide wiring etc) Green neons under dash. My boot will look like the one pictured below.
Body:
Pretty much need to cut rust out of a dogleg, sils, windscreens and bonnet. Fix cracks on the boot, RR door, bonnet and a bit on the left guard.
Fix a few dings, shave door handels, debadge, then paint.
Might alter the grille - if no one minds me stealing this design!
probably will do the billet grille, maybe not double indicators
If too many areas are $*#@ up then I will just repaint the whole car (most likely a different lime green) add some scollops and pinstriping and the cars done!
