Good to hear you finally got home. Our only problem was an accident on the Monash freeway and bumper to bumper speeds at walking pace for half an hour....

what exactly does the tag say if it says EK then it's an EK if it says FB then it's an FB pretty simple

starts getting confusing if the tag says FB and body No says EK but still only means something's been changed in the last 47 odd years

maybe one of the jackson cars 3 FB's gotta be tempting fate

Nah, its a whole lot simpler Rat. Mines a real early EK, number 88 and according to Steve was an FB shell with the EK stuff added.

so you should go in the who's got the earliest thing

but really that's getting a bit weird every EK could be an FB body because they're identical that is unless they're autos

so mark you took 2 FB's there and back with no break downs

hope there was some sort of award for that you deserve it, it'de have to be a first

yep car is back in Sydney. 2 weeks ago I upped my NRMA cover premium membership...best $165 i've ever spent...

Got a flat bed to from 10ks out of Narrandera all the way back to Sydney. Home at 1am. Brett the local NRMA guy was fanatastic. I'm sure he will be more than willing to assist all those EKs who try to get to Narrandera next year but break down on the way....

Not identical, I have been informed that the hole where the door light button goes is bigger on an FB, ....................................................................................................................................................................

I'm sorry to hear some of you had troubles, on the other hand! Mine, was friggen fantastic, purred all the way there and back.
Couldn't be happier, especially after the couple of dramas I had from last years Nats.
