WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO......

hey guys the car has gone.... relax... i mean i dropped it off to rod grima's yesterday to get engine taken out then off to panelbeater/painter...

im soooooooooooooooooo excited...

at the moment the body will be getting painted tuscany yellow & the roof snowcrest white... (like EK61, i have already asked permission... thanks dave)



the motor will get some basic stuff done as i plan on upgarding later on,
so i dont want to spend to much $$$$ this time around....
a head setup for unleaded, twin carby setup, extractors also diff ratios looked at for better driving...

also new lower set leaf springs plus new springs up front & stub axles for a lower more comfortable ride...

i'll be off to the panelbeaters next monday to confirm what i want done exactly... will take some pics while i'm there...

stay tuned... i'm sooooooooo pumped...

Soooooo Matty are you going shiney or flat?????

All this work you have been doing is worthy of gloss........

yaay matty

Hey Matty,

Good to see the car going in for a face lift. Can't wait to see the pictures.
What is the snowcrest white like, is it a bright white or a more of a creamy white. I'm looking for a not so bright white to go on the roof of my sedan.

ohh i like that colour scheme i seen similar on a boat when i was buying my new fishing rod very nice

Must be super excited now Matty

good work matty
looking 4ward to some progress pics
and mate ya dont need my permission to paint ya car that colour

thanks guys,

DR, yep, gloss it is...

malcolm, yeah not sure re snowcrest white, i just thought that its an original ek colour so i thought it must look good....

thanks

Good to hear mate !!! What wheel combo are you going ?

What was the original colour of your wagon for curiosity sake ?

hey meph,


wheels, not sure depends on money... steelies & whitewalls for now...

original colour, i think from memory it was like a that looked a bit more peachy that cameo baige...


matty martin

engine is out...


had a phone call from rodney yesterday to tell me that it maybe worth getting a new subframe as the one that is on the car at the moment is rusty, very rusty... he said its definately fixable but it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one...

so


anyone got a spare good subframe that i can have...

thanks
mattymartin

my car was snowcrest white all over its not an off white but its not as stark as new cars painted white , it allways looked really nice after a wash and didnt ever look real dirty like some coulours , im buying paint for my car on saturday been looking to change totally , but i still have thought to stay white as it allways looks sharp and clean

why couldnt you be in melb?
i need a rust subframe...
