Spent weekend cutting out botch repair job. Grafting in sections of donor car. The section that I cut out is solid so trimming it up to fit back in. Thankfully,as with all repairs, this only has to be done once. Cheers. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170730/08e276ad70fb15068ba55281306f4f07.jpg ...

New y frame mounts. Probably went a little overboard with keeping the original look. Turned out fitting up well. What's next! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170502/5e9a0d54ce50a5e86be50b60284cfa8c.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170502/64568c5bff3b28e769dc3a85e62b8f21.jpg

Yeah mate. Working on the front section where the y frame mounts to. Thought about patching them up. Could be done. But new ones are just about the same amount of work.

I'm thinking I will need to make it from scratch. I was hoping to see how others have done it. Getting hard to find reasonable 2nd hand ones.

Hi all, i was wondering if anyone knows a good way to replace the chassis section between the rear spring forward bolt and the inner sill.

Thanks Errol, that's the one I meant. I was wondering if it was needed for modern use as I am not going to use it fully loaded as originally intended.

Cheers

Hi all. I would like to introduce myself, I have been lurking off stage now for a while and thought it was about time to come out of the shadows.
A little history. EK's have been a part of me since before I was born. My dad bought a Wedgewood Blue Ute brand new from Smith Motor Co. of Port Adelaide ...
