Although it looks a bit tired at the moment going by rats pics it don't look near as bad as it did in the pic of it after the front ender.

Wonder what it hit?

I reckon with all its glass out already I reckon that's Rat's invitation for a chop :wink: :wink: :wink:


"all the people that reckon they can't find cars I don't know why"

Yep, they are around but you have to look further than the local paper.

I found that when I got back into the early Holdens ( late '90's ) after a twenty year break from them that they were few and far between ( and that you couldn't buy them for $50 driveable anymore :cry: :cry: :cry: ) but once you know where to look and get on the "grapevine" so to speak that there are more out there still than would seem apparent.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

So any clues Rat as to what you're going to do to it? Looks like a great start.

As for the sedan why not give it the ratbox once over and see if you can get some extra cash for the wagon...

Ratbox hope you gonna run the Flashline kit. We have a few guys up here who straighten stainless let us know if you need details. Blinds on ebay are not too expensive on evilbay and whitewalls are well priced.....Sorry man I get carried away. Whatever you do is cool. Must be nice to have another. Sold my daily driver Laser today to stick a rocket up my a-- to get my red EK sedan on the road. Have to start driving my 59 chev daily until EK is on road. Thinking 2 weeks on the road. All I need is brakes got it changing gears today. You got to love these beasts. Sunnymick 8) 8)
