Okay first of all a massive thanks to Damo (Dmullaly) for selling me the ute. I've basically been bugging him since he casually mentioned he 'might' be considering selling it He was pretty reluctant to let it go, in fact if you look at the rear quarters you can see the scratches where he was trying to hold onto it as I was driving off But yeh, very stoked with it and a big thanks to Damo for letting it go. Before Damo owned it was owned by Stanley - so 3rd generation forum owner

Its basically a low but otherwise stock EK ute. I can tell you haven't really driven anything old for a few years, hell not even driving a manual, it was um... interesting driving across the guts of Sydney this morning Drum brakes, a crash box and Sydney traffic dont go together real well. God I was thankful to hit the M4 and ditch the traffic Best part was coming back through Penrith and a guy in a stunning 34 coupe giving me the thumbs up - man Ive missed having an old car!

Of course once I was home and had grabbed some lunch I had to go for a drive and get some pics. Did a bunch more cruising and got more pics and only headed home cause I was heading out tonight.

Just a solid (but a little rough around the edges) cruiser we can chuck the bikes in and head to the beach or to CRAKK, or head into Harrys or drive interstate. Got a long list of little things I want to sort out, like with any old car Came with a visor so I'll chuck that back on, take the towball off for now and chuck the bumperettes back on, paint the steelies with some colour (copper or yellow/cream not sure yet), maybe some removable timber rails on the tray side tops, and maybe some signage for the blog on the doors.

Man its good to be driving a column shift again! Takes me back to driving my first car (Torana)





Drivers arm!

Good to here it became a 3rd gen forum car , I have always liked the way it looked .
How did you get that arm burnt??? Is it left hand drive .

Grey(painted) early Holdens give me wood.

Looks sweeet.

Im off for some private time...

Looks sweet as Hewey
It's funny jumping in an old girl after not driving one for a while.
But you soon get used to it. With drums all round in Sydney you gotta anticipate a long way ahead ALL the time.

Congratulations digger, good to see its with someone who will enjoy it.
Ditch the towbar for sure, it looks shocking. Bit of Jiff on the whitewalls & your done.

Drive in night coming up soon, it will be a revisit of your 1st drive in it!!!

kinda nearly 4th gen i picked it up and drove it to sydney for stanley which is about the same amount of miles i put on some of my cars before they get sold

stanley will you be taking a car to the drive in night if so which one and what f#%kin' motor will be in it

Not the stinkin' Pontiac, fixed the starter today but it has rooted the drive plate. Motor out!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably the loaner Harley, most reliable thing here at the moment.

Sorry for the deviation, back to Hewey & the ute.

Ive got a better looking copilot lined up this time Also on Novermber 19 there's a bunch of us heading over to Dino's for a pizza, should be good

Heavy Sydney traffic on a hot summers day but a bit of open road and our old girls will drive forever...

That's a beaut ute you got there.

Great to see you back in an early Hewey! And even better it's an ek. Let the fun begin. I miss my old ute.

Looks awesome Hewey.

Looks great may see you up at Dinos if i can get the night OFF. Cheers

Time for some colour
