Good stuff Trev.

Here's a tip though for spigot bearings. Pack them full of grease then find a round bit of steel that fits snuggly in the hole and tap it in. Spigot pops out really easily! Bit late for you though Trev

Looking sweet Trev! What are you doing with the wheels ....... my 2 bobs worth is run the mini moons and chrome trims like the blue wagon at the Nationals

Twin carbs and bells look cool.

Matchew, that is the same on all FB's mate

.

Craig, just getting the wiring all sorted, by someone with the skills

.

DR, I know of that method but didn't have the rite sized dowel

.

Gary, I have bullet caps and nuts with trim rings in mind for the wheels.

RB, yeh kinda inspired but at the same time if I rushed it it could have made Bendigo, but after 3 years why rush the last 4 weeks or so

.

oldnek, you mean I put a bbq in the working area

.

Bullet caps and nuts would be

, keep up the great work Trev.

After I cleaned the shed I got the "you better get the MY EK in the shed and strip it now" comment from Sue today

Maybe V8EK4US-2 will be going sooner than "I" had planned

Don't hold your breath RB

Well RB would be a great shade of purpleish green by now

.

Just took the wagon round the block with no exhaust ($*#@ loud

), booked in for exhaust on Monday, then get a permit to drive and sort out any bugs.
I will get some progress pics up soon (Sam [wife] has been keeping the facebook morons up to date so I will have to get the pics off her).

Just kleened up about 12 winding and inside opening handles to get a good set, what shits me is the ones with no pitting or blemishes have stuffed splines and don't work, the not so good ones have good splines

, so I had to use the not so good ones

we knew a guy years ago that painted his car with a brush using propper automotive acrylic paint TONS of cutting back before buffing but it came up BRILLIANT like glass

i have an old book around australian home carpentry illustrated it has stuff in it ranging from how to build sheds to how to build yor own inground pool and painting yor car with brush choice tips etc

Apparently they painted alot of the old British marques with a brush back in the day. A trick they used was to heat the paint up first before application; and they used a paint specifically made for the job... it's a bit of an art but there are some old guys around that know how to do it...

The amount of attention my mate's Pyramid and Barrier Coral EK sedan used to get was tremendous... pity it went to the tip...
