Cragg's EK Ute

Post by Elfid690 »

Hi....Another ute that has been salvaged I hope. I picked this one up late last year and have been slowly tidying her up since. It was originally Cameo Beige as per the plates, but not sure I want to stick to the original colour. It has a 48-215 (FX) grey motor which runs nicely. I'm thinking of going Lilac Grey or Parisian Lilac...but am yet to see these colours in real life....so not sure I am on the right track. Thanks for having a look.

Cheers

Hey Cragg.
That old dear has the makings of a good old ute. Cameo Beige is rare in a ute I think, but Parisian lilac may be the go. Just paint it what you like and GET CRUISING!

Thanks for the welcome all. I remember following a thread on a cameo beige ute built by a young guy in Armidale....whatever happened to that one I wonder?

Hey Cragg,
Good to see another ute getting some TLC? Look forward to seeing more pictures. The original ones don't seem to be available via photo bucket. Will you be going with the old grey motor?

Regards
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Yeah I couldn't get the two original photos back so posted one of them again which is the ute before any work was done on it.

Yep I'm going to keep the grey motor and 3 on the tree. It runs nicely.

Cheers
