Bump.

Tim, did the PM get through?

PM sent - thanks Tim!

No luck (but thanks for trying Trev - appreciated). Still looking ladies and gentlemen.

The FB I recently bought has a number of accessories, most of which appear to be either NASCO or dealer fitted: a) Coolaride sunvisor, b) Warmaride heater, c) scratch plates, d) locking petrol cap, e) Wibroc mudguard mirror, f) engine oil filter (not sure if it is a FRAM or otherwise), g) His Master...

I had forgotten how little fun it is not having windscreen washers in grimy Sydney traffic :( . I could put a SuperCheap plastic washer unit in, but am hoping to keep the FB a bit more original.

Have recently had the EK wagon returned from the brake shop, where it got new steel brake lines installed. Can't say I'm impressed with the job at all - crap workmanship from guys who should know better (lines rubbing, poor routing etc). I know I should take it back and demand they redo it, but to b...

I'm about to finish an overseas posting, and will be back in the country around the end of February. 3 years of driving a Toyota Vitz ( :oops: ) has made me keen to get back into an EK. The project car (V8 EK wagon) will come out of storage, but will take me quite a while to finish. So I'm hoping to...
