Introduction - DanFranko's EJ
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2013 3:47 pm
Hi Guys,
after a while lurking on the forum i thought i should start an intro thread...its nice to be on an active forum with helpful members. I have got quite a lot of useful info - Harv's stromberg guide was particularly useful!
Spent many years in a workshop where we always had old holdens around - our work utes were an EK and FC!
i currently don't' have an EK, although i have owned one (will dig up some photos and scan them - pre digital era). I have had a couple of EH's and EJ's - the car i currently have has been in the family for quite some time (with only a brief absence - long story).
Thought i would throw up a few photos of the old EJ - i was pleased to see that they seem to be well received on the forum. The EH car club has a display day coming up for the 50th anniversary - EJ's are also welcome, so i have spent some time cutting back the paint and getting it ready. Its an older restoration...ideally will need a bare metal spray again, but for now the current paint is doing a good job of holding the car together. Pretty original overall, have a few of the harder to get nasco accessories...always on the look out for others, but these days i think Ebay has pretty much killed the chance of getting a bargain at a swap meet.
Anyway, might see a few of the WA people out and about
