Saw this in the flesh!

Excellent vehicle! I am slowly building an EK Ute. I'll be up your way in couple of weeks; love to catch up if possible.

looking good. I was in Lismore today ; should have looked here earlier then I could have had a look!

Hi I have discovered I have a set of GTR headers. Is it worth getting them powder coated for my 179, or just go for new set?

Read in Street Machine that early 90's Skyline / Pintara rear is very close to same width as HR; has disc rear but 4 stud. Need to grind off all the fittings. any one tried this option?

I read in Street Machine that early 90's Skyline / Pintara rear is same width as HR. Anyone fitted one? They are disc rear and supposedly good unit. Need to redrill Hubs as they are 4 stud.

Thanks Blacky
HR it is.

Will VB rear disc axle fit EK fairly easily? There's one for sale locally. i have been planning HR rear but this might be a good option.
front is HR with Torana disc.

I followed a VY? wagon yesterday; thir tail lights are thinner than HQ & fold around side (same as ute model). They are rectangular rather than rounded but might be OK. Some one on photoshop could dummy them up.
I like the original lights for me.
you have a great build going.
Patrick

I'm going to check out cost of new one tomorrow.
wrecker here has "good one" for $200; could be next option.
plenty of wreckers suggested impossible to buy.

A few more photos.
the 55 Nomad was my favourite.
Ratbox was right; heaps of LH drive & millions of people,especially Sunday.
I saw the Sputswagon drive out as i drove in. Sorry to miss you Scotty.
The Goggomobiles were a big hit.. GO, GGO was all you could hear from passerbys.
apologies for photo ...

Didn't have time to chat to blokes at garage.
Car has been modified.
Will attempt to find out more next time I visit.
Also nice HT Monaro in carport "SBC 350" number plate.

I think Rodeo 98 - 2004 are all the same. Mine is 2002 from memory. You can pay $400 for a good one; $200 for worn out one. No cheapies anymore. Think mine was around $220. 2WD bench aren't that common.
I recently bought 2WD ute (Rodeo as it turned out) for my son; heaps of 4WD stuff around ...
