Sorry Craig & Theo i have started on the EK. I knew Craig wanted it but just found out that Theo had his eye on it to. I wonder who else had there eye on it

My car

Undoing the bolts

Rusty bolts and wooden blocks holding the seat in place

Rusty battery tray whats left of it

Rusty floors before the clean up

Car with no seats

Starting on the boot next wish me luck. Now i have started there is no stopping me.

Thanks Theo worked on it for 2 hours yesterday. We did an oil change, oil filter and fuel filter. It has been sitting in the garden for 16 months

and turned the key and it started after a few minutes of cranking over so not to bad.

Hey it could still turn out to be a drag car and i think it would even beat your car

dont worry i will keep up with the post and picture coming i am very excited about it all

Onya Kate

Wooden blocks under the seats

Thats a worry.
I'd be checking anything else thats been modified by the previous owners.

Cheers
Jeff

keep up the good work.

Hi i am back just been busy with everything and the EK.

Hey Thommo it was a bit scary when i seen the wooden blocks. Any suggestions on how to put the seats back in anyone ???

Ratbox. Craig cant help himself he just loves the grey goes with his hair sorry Craig

i am sure you will get me back Craig

Hey caveman not selling it to you just yet

EK Jay, Karsten & Matches It is a lot of work lucky i have Richard to help me with it. I will try and get the post up

Hey Karsten no it has not got a 4x4 kit in it. She just got her arse up in the air. I am leaving it at that
