Re: Rust repair the bottom of our EK door jams

I really don't know much about the history of the car. The guy we bought it from was pretty vague about it. If he was the one that did the repairs I can understand it.

Apparently it came from around the Rockhampton area.

I'm almost finished repairing the drivers side upper A Pillar. Thankfully it ...

Re: Rust repair the bottom of our EK door jams

Thanks for the replies guys. I will clean it all up and see what I'm left with.

I think this will be an even bigger job than fixing the front window dog leg.

Rust repair the bottom of our EK door jams

Hi,

I want to repair the bottom sections of all the door jams. Not sure what they are really called. Somebody has already had a go and done a pretty dodgy job. Pop rivets and screws and heaps of bog.

Does anyone make repair sections for these areas?

Re: Desert Glow paint colour

An update on the Desert Glow colour. I've been able to finally source a sample of the colour in Acrylic from a paint supplier in NSW.

It comes under Vintage Holden Colours on their system. Now that I have a physical sample hopefully I can get a colour match using PPG 2K.

Re: EK Holden Window Revel Rust Repairs

Thanks for the reply. Yeh I've started making the drivers side repairs. Looks like I'm going to have to make it in sections starting from the inside and working my way out.

Re: Fibreglass panels... any info?

Hi,

I've been searching for fibreglass front guard's for our EK and I came across this thread.

Just wondering if you still had the moulds and how much it cost to have somebody make the guard's for you?

Thanks

Hi,

Ive removed the windows from the EK today. I knew there would be rust behind the seals. Can anyone tell me if somebody makes new sections.

Hi guys,

Ive been searching the internet with no luck to date. Ive removed both windscreens so that I can paint the dash. I was expecting rust in the bottom corners of the window revels.

The Front window sections are what I really ...

Desert Glow paint colour

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum. We recently purchased a EK Sedan, my wife wants to paint it the same colour that her dad's FB was.

The closest match is Desert Glow. I went into a local paint store to have a sample mixed. The paint code listed for the colour does not show up in any of their books or ...
