Just realised that I've passed my 3 year anniversary, and still going..... :?

The wagon will be finished, one day.
Never thought it would take over three years when I first started.
Just needs a clean up, the brakes done and a tune up.. :) Yes... Sure.....

made me look at my thread i'm in over 12 months :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: but can't really see a reason why i won't be finished this year other than maybe money :oops: :( atleast possably close to driving in the next month (if i can get off my arse and drag myself out to the shed :oops: )

i'm sure when you have the time/cash/motivation you'll be back into it :wink: :)

Just stumbled on this thread and its been a good read. Good work so far Finny good to see it coming to an end you'de have be proud of what you have acheived. I've just taken dilivery of an EK wagon with the intension of a quick build as the car is licenced not running and in peices. Has a 186 with Celica 5 speed. Was told the motor has had a rebuild so hope its just a case of sorting the wiring and it should run. A bit of dejavu going on here the other night before I stumbled onto this thread I was discussing doing the 57 style flash. Doh! thought I had an original idea. A slight difference to the standard I was going to do the contrast colour with a ghosted pearl lace pattern.

Keep up the good work.

cheers mick

Yes Steve, it could have been a factory option.
Definately a collectable NASCO item, not.......

I've since removed the sticker. Can't even recall what is was, some sort of alternative health/lifestyle Nimbin sort of thing.
Mine also had large stickers on the two rear side windows. frogs or something. :smile22: :smile22:

Looking at badge and what I have or "Don't" have.
Need to fill in the holes if I can't find them.
Both my side "Specials" are broken.
So I'm toying with the idea of just using the "S".
It will be the early model "S" pack.
Good idea? Any thoughts ?
