Out of the closet and come clean to reveal my resto. Can anyone help regarding posting pics as I'm computer ILLITERATE and not up with the jargan and crap. If I had a 10yr old here they would know how. Got lots of pics of my EK Wagon under resto[/url]

It took me around 5 years as a forum member to learn how to post up photos and even then I had to get my 14 year old son to show me how to do it

Yep, just not up to todays technology. I still work in feet and inches,MPH, Pints and gallons. Just ask the kids of today about those and they have not got a clue. Ah well I'll keep the pics to myself.

Its alright , I used a blue ray and hyperlinked your photobucket with MSN to automatically configure DOS and windows bitmaps .
If your duel processor can deliver 240 gig without monitor interface the bitrate can configure most elements of format .

(thats all bullcrap 1962EK )

but Im keen to see photo's

I tried for 5 years and finally realised that I was using nitrate instead of bitrate, once I bitrated and farted the photos worked!!

Thanks guys and thanks to John for posting them for me. I stayed with the original colour, Tartan Turquise (great colour). Running the original grey motor(rebuilt) wth a few mods like cam, twins stromies, extractors and what all of us guys love, a headjob (boom boom).

Interior will be completely redone in similar colours as I couldn't getthe original material. The original back seats were perfect but faded and I couldn,t match the front which was in bad shape. Ratbox gave me the inserts to put in but after removing the glue from them it still left a stain. Going for Dragways if able to get really good s/h ones but if not will have to go new. Will keep you all advised on its progress as I hope to have it on the road by April in time for Wintersun

I've got a sedan as well and that is the next project. Probably go the whole hog on that one, depends on finances. looking to have the whole range eventually, Wagon, sedan ,Ute and Van. This wagon has only 63 thousand on the clock and came with all the owners manuals and purchase details. Sold in QLD originally.
