I'm a new member so I thought I should show the world our EK
I bought it 10 years ago from the second owner who bought it off the original owner in Tassie.
It is all original except for the VH44 booster and seatbelts.

Yeah the car is a gem. It took a long time to find the right one.
Pity it only leaves the shed half a dozen times a year!
Too many toys...Too little time!

gorgeous.
I know of one pretty similar to that sitting under a carport with flat tyres. Looks mint too!

That's pretty!

You'll have to do some more photo's of it with a well dressed woman with a long skirt & long white gloves posing next to it! Be just like the original hand painted artwork!

Hi ShedPest.

Looks like a real nice ride.

You did well, and after 10 years ownership it look a treat.

Thanks Guys
I will give you a few more details of the old girl.
When I bought the car it had just been resprayed(so technically it is not original)and it needed to be finished off.
The original interior was a bit ratty so it went to the trim shop.
Seats resprung and new vinyl fitted(original inserts used)
Dash repainted
Steering wheel repainted
Mechanically it has a recon 138 (original block used)
All drums machined and booster fitted
seat belts fitted(they look like shit but hey thats life)
The photos posted are not recent but since then it has been fitted with taller cross-ply replicas which gives it a taller stance and fill the guards up more than the 180/70 radial that were on it.
Overall I have tried to keep as standard as when it was released.
