Have seen photos of an FB EK that was being built in the mid 80's with a set partly fitted

Rob Walker made his own version and fitted them to his car 20 years ???

The question was asked.
All I did was answer

The one from the 80's is still unseen! dont know if it was ever finished

Rob changed his car with a totally different rear end treatment, it was later badly damaged in an accidient. And it is now in the yard where Nick bought his car from.

I get great ideas as well, and some times someone else has been there before.

Bugger!

Ihad a picture of an FE FC Wagon with these lights sent to me months ago.
The car is in Orange or Bathurst.

The lights look good in it

I've seen the one at Neils.. it had a uhh whats it called.. spare tire on the back of it.. can't remember the name for it. Don't know if it had differen't tail lights but it did have the spare wheel and shaved handles.

I've also seen em on an FE/FC wagon.. it was a green one. Its GuruGregs off Ozrodders car. Looks very cool.

Hey Harko.. i'm also contemplating using the Packard lights on my EK.. although i doubt your doing the same trim and front end as i am though :P

This isn't the one your talkin about Paul is it..?

That'd be Ratbox's bestest mate :wink: :roll: Some will remember the incident, it prompted a colour change on Rats van. Have seen pics on Ozrodders car looks very American. I'll try and find them.

Thats Robs old sedan.

Over the years he made many changes to it, the extended 1/4 panels were the last.
