Re: Seagull Grey EK 2106

That ute looks great. Good to see youve got it going. as for the noise, can you access the offending area through the hidey hole in the bell housing or are your floor mats too good to pull up to get the cover off. If you can get that cover off you may be able to do something TRICKY in there with a d...

Re: Ok Tony Dahl - the challenge is on!

I'll start carving the buck out of stone and hand finishing the panels with a microfile. ( more like tacking some scrap tin together then covering it with bog like I did the other 4!)

Re: My first road going FB

That Castille Green with grey on the side would have been Striking. I cant recall ever seeing one in the flesh (I may have) but it looks good on the Trax Model. It would be good to get back that old friend as it would get done up properly. Things might change. I once sat in a Tank Fairlane that I ow...

Re: Notice to all FB EK Holden owners in NSW.

Thanks Dr Terry. This being the case, NSW Main Roads is offering a great opportunity to owners of club vehicles. I'm up here in Qld and we are struggling with a scheme with more Grey Areas than I have Grey Motors in various places in my back yard (They are all covered up and turn over) The main Coun...
