Clutch replacement

looked on the net and decided to check Repco out about a clutch kit for a grey and they came up the best with a heavy duty kit (220ml) to fit a 149/179 that bolted straight in with no problems. Price at shop $170. Could have got a bit cheaper on the net but for the couple of dollars difference saved ...

Have you a grey, and if you keep the grey going they pulled that size van years ago. Thanks for the invite have not seen your ute around ...

Re: Graham's EK Special Wagon

Thanks for the comment about the house and the car. We love the retro scene and bought the house as a total rundown dump about six months ago. the house was built in 1955 and although it got changed over the years we put it back to the era again and complimented it with period fittings and colours ...

Re: Graham's EK Special Wagon

Have got a set of hubcaps given to me by the previous owner of the car and need help to identify them. I will get a pic posted but they are similar to FB caps with the FB star around the inner area and they have a metal 5 star thingy bolted to the centre. A pic is worth a thousand words so will have ...

Re: Graham's EK Special Wagon

The gas tank is fitted in the cargo area, yes I lose a bit of space but I am not bothered by that because I can use the car more often being cheaper than petrol. I had what they call a 'spud' like a small pipe threaded in that gives a venturi effect put into the carby simple to do just near the ...

Re: Graham's EK Special Wagon
