Ive had the car since 1984 purchased from Primbee Woolongong from an old fella. It was Castile green with a snowcrest white roof, as you can see it is Hennortt red (BMW) colour with snowcrest white. The paint is 8 years ago, Simon

Beautiful .....

I have a BMW that colour.

Its the closest colour to the bright red that they painted the EK,s. Although there are about 250 shades of red avaliable, Hennortt is a sweet shade its almost exactly the same as post office red and monza red, which look identical

what are the seats out of they look like the ones in my car mine don't have head rests though, what have you done to fit them they seem to sit nice and low

bigalhusband · Post by **bigalhusband** » Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:28 pm

the seats are out of a 1974/75 escort (yes a &*#@) I had some rectangular hollow section 1 inch welded to the slide mounts with 1/2 inch thick bolts going through the floor that were welded to the slides inside the RHS, If you are going to the nationals you are quite welcome to have a sticky at what I have done and how it was done .You see I,m lazy and I like things to be easy especialy modifications as I dont have much time spent on my car (belive it or not) as I am usualy Upholstering every one elses cars, yes mine needs attention upholstery wise as it was done about 8 years ago just before the paint give or take a year or so.Ive had the car so long that I loose time like Ive owned the EK for 25 odd years. Boy time flies .
