Re: Robbo's EK Ute
New y frame mounts. Probably went a little overboard with keeping the original look. Turned out fitting up well.

Re: RE: Re: Robbo's EK Ute
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.oz_ek wrote:That's some nice work there on those inner sills!!.....Did you make them yourself?

Re: Replace rusted section between forward spring bolt and sill
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.
