... and would like to be involved in a wedding??

My fiancee Nicole and I are getting married at Churchill Island next to Phillip Ilsand on Friday afternoon 20 January.

We have a red body / white roof EK that will be part of the proceedings (should the resto work happen in time!). Roger from ...

Hi Brett!

So considering I now know how many leaks I have, what do you think I should do to

a) be able to identify exactly where the water comes in

and

b) fix the problem?

I may have to buy Rare's rubber kits but I might also have to replace the rubber blades around the quarter glass and get ...

I ended up buying the carpet -- got moulded US red... still haven't done the rest of the interior though

After the heavy rain we had recently I found out that I have many seal issues to deal with first.

gee .. now I have to decide if the carpet should be black or red too .. decisions, decisions

I'm looking for some examples of seat colours that would go with my red-body-white roof EK Special.. I'm pretty sure the standard combination with that colour was red seats with silver inserts so that's definitely an option but I would like to see what it looks like to be sure.

I've been told this ...

true - but I guess I won't know until it arrives .. it's not exactly expensive. might be worth a shot.

darn. that's why I was keen on it - cause it's red

hey all

I've found a steering wheel centre horn button that I wouldn't mind buying cause the colours suit my EK but it's described on ebay as an EH button. Are they the same?

Cheers

Paul

update:.. I should be getting her back from the panel beater on Thursday.
