Sounds like the wagon is in pretty good shape. You never know you might now be considered “converted” to own more EK’s?

Will it make the trip East in June to S.A?

Done all I am going to do to this for now - replaced some of the Bailey channel to stop some of the rattles , vacuumed all the crap out of the doors while I was at it and gave the door trims a scrub. Put a new speedo cable in it and painted the rims and hubcaps. Image
