I have finally attempted to get a handle on photo-%ucket in the hope I could put a pic or two up of my EK pre resto.
All being well the link will work - other wise it's back to the drawing board after I've been down to the garage to get away from the PC!!!

Cheers mate,
Yeah when the transporter turned up I was stoked !
A good tidy and what appears to be minimal rust vehicle.

Having seen this car in the flesh I can vouch that it's a pearler

A set of twins on that grey motor Dave (you have plenty of manifolds hanging on your wall to choose from) and you're set!

Thanks for loading those ones on for me Trev - now we're in business.
I will get my IT coach Jimmy to come over and take me through it - sounds simple enough but unfortunately, when it comes to computers so am I !!!
The photo with the plates was from the guy I bought it from along with a heap more including some underneath etc prior to purchase. The other pic was one of something like 230 pics I took before the car starts on it's path to restoration, hopefully before the Nats, but failing that DEFINITELY for the All Holden Days.
I'm keeping the colour which has grown on me, but plan quite afew little surprises for the old girl. Grey and crash will stay but like Andrew says it will get at least a twin set to get the mixture in and a set of Jack Myers to get the hot gas out with the whole lot suspended over an HR front end driving through to an HR rear end with LSD.
Wheels will depend on what I can find - Ideally chromies with 'H' caps.
Gotta do some more
Dave Mac

looks good...

Thanks fellas !!!
Hey Scotty - what do you reckon for a better seating arrangement. That bench, as flash as it is, can surely be improved on ??
Big dog says it's bed time so catch you Monday.
Night all ..........
