My name is Amanda, and my partner Angus and I have recently bought an EK Special Sedan.
Growing up, my family had an FB for 16 years. We got it when I was 4 years old and I loved this car, learnt to drive in it, firstly around the yard and driveway when I was about 10, then later on my L's and P's. I spent many hours helping dad polish it, him telling me it would be mine one day.... but then he sold it!!
I always thought ONE day I would get another one, but never thought it would be so soon, until my brother mentioned a guy dad knows had an EK I could buy... next thing I know I was paying for it!
Little did I know it was an EK that dad had got for parts and resold back in 1994 and found some pics from when we owned her for a short time...
The people I bought her from got her in the same condition Dad sold it, but started the restoration process and she is now rust-free, repainted and reupholstered and ready to be reassembled!!
After calling the FB - FeeBee/Phoebe, I wanted something a bit more creative and couldn’t stop smiling when I thought of EKidna/Echidna, especially as some parts have been a prick to find!!
Well after over a month of waiting to pick her up (too many projects, not enough room!), gathering all the bits and pieces, I finally have her and can’t wait to get her on the road! At the moment she is safely parked in the garage where I can’t get to work on her, but hopefully things will start coming together a bit more soon. Here are some photos from picking her up...
Now if only I could get the avatar thing figured out!
Manda.
She sure was part of the family.
