EK JAY'S EK WAGON BUILD

[EK JAY]

HI
well the stable is growing
i finally got my ek wagon home a couple of days ago
and ive have started stripping it for the rebuild
it will need new outer sills both sides and both front floor pans
as well as a few other spots of rust here and there
the original color is strata blue and snow white roof it still has some
good paint here and there i polished a bit on the rear gaurd and came up nice
the rear seat is in mint condition still has the plastic on from new
door trims are also very good just need a good front seat as the one that was in it
was left out in the weather and needs re stiching

Still not 100% sure Andrew weather to go original resto running gear

Not always the best way as it'll take twice as long!!! Seems the bug has bitten pretty hard

[Stygian]

Given that it's in rough condition, you have that bit more flexibility to build it however you want. But whatever you choose to do Jay I'll be watching with interest.

yeah DR ive probably only got 2 solid weeks worth of work to do on the fb before its finished
so time for another and you got to get them when you can now days
the bug has always been there just got to know when to let it out of the cage

[oldnek]

I just leave it as is and keep for a real life before and after shot.

or did you really get it, so your knew where all the bits go on the FB

[EK JAY]

Good to see you got your sense of humor back John
only got this one because i had a lot of left over parts from the FB
i can put on it and call it a FK
really you just got to get them when you can now
no matter what condition for the right price of coarse

[EK JAY]

underthe rubber and i must admit i was surprised to only find

of rust repairs on the old girl
