Hey!

This is my first post on here as I have just registered as I am wanting to buy an EK/FB wagon some time and fix her up.

This was inspiring for a budding Early holden fan like myself.....Where did you learn the skills man...are you in the industry or just a very talented enthusiast???

I really want to learn some of these skills, so I can do more myself......

Looking forward to any new updates as I love the car and the work done.

Welcome to the forum mate its a great place to learn.
Thanks mate all self taught i just got in there and had ago at it this is my 3rd fb ek i have
rebuilt so once you have pulled one apart and put it back together you have a basic idea what your doing
patience is the key i guess
i had never painted a car or welded before i got my ek sedan(green one in my avatar) i do recomend
doing a basic welding coarse if you dont know how to weld and visit your local panel shop to see if you can watch some repairs being
done body work wise otherwise there are a few guys on here at the moment building cars in sydney the area who would give you some
great tips aswell im sure
here is a link to my fb wagon build im working on aswell its been put on hold untill i finsh the ek wagon but super keen to get back onto it .
