Ben's EK wagon - Fremantle

Hi guys

Im Ben, and i recently bought an EK! Im so stoked! Im a long time FB/EK fan and i realised with the onset of my 25th birthday I had better start living the dream of owning an old holden pretty soon...

I believe she is a 61 special, orginally green in colour, she has been re-sprayed white, and retains the two tone green/cream interior.

My plan is to keep her as original as possible, maybe with the exception of fitting some seatbelts and whitewalls? The fuel tank is the only nasty thing on the car, with some minor bodywork/re-chroming needed here and there

An absolute pleasure to drive

Im keen to cruise with a few other local cars if they are out there?

Cheers

We sure are out there and love to cruise in Fremantle! Fremantle has been the hub of all of our meetups to date. Feel free to post in the WA section if your keen to organise a cruise. I live in Winthrop, so 10 mins from Freo

Great looking wagon.

aust mod corvettes are WAAAAAYY overrated good for picking up chicks and that's about it and the later ones are just for retirees with there fresh perms blonde tips and gold chains that don't know any better

i was starting to calm down on the wagon i had found but am having ALL sorts of troubles trying to get

but now i'm excited again looking at this one

and i don't know why it couldn't be stocker

AGREED! chop springs and put in some blocks

You will also find the ride is a bit better, it wont be all over the road.

Another way to make it drive better is to put some wider wheels on it, you dont have to go all insane like v8ek4us, but I run 13x6's on mine and it drives a lot straighter then running stockies.
