Now you're making way, Wayne.... great work!
Let me know if I can help.... I'm not too far away - can probably visit a couple of very good friends whilst down your way - need a rest from working on the van anyway....... be a good excuse - I know I have to pick up where I left off on the house again when the van is finished - so am not in a hurry to lock the van door just yet.... or ever finish the van!
Have you made any plans for running your loom? - they're only leads all bundled together.... chances are that you'll probalby make big changes to an original loom anyway - so making a loom of your own is not such a crazy thought...... I have just about completley re-wired my old bus.... a lot of "black" copper in the original loom.... and believe most originals on the road would have it......
If you don't have a workshop manual - I can scan up a wiring diagram for you.... let me know.
Don't lose sight of the result.... it is what keeps the passion in all of us - apart from enjoying the "aura"....
frats,
Rosco

Those are the colors. Satellite Yellow and Gretian White.
The yellow will come down the side a little to a pinstripe.
Thanks Rosco, will do.

Been a long time since I've been on!
Big changes have happened in my world and will be in the future. Unfortunately this will mean the EK will need to be sold.
I haven't touched the car since my previous posts, so I think it's only fair the old girl gets a new home with someone to look after her.
Undecided on how much she should go for, so I haven't put her up for sale as yet.
Tonnes of parts etc to sort through and a bit of a clean up before it happens.
Just thought I'd let you guys know. If anyone's interested let me know

Very sad to learn that you're parting with the EK, Wayne - it has indeed been a very long time since your last post on progress.
I do very much hope that the big changes in your life are all for the better and wish you ever success in your plans.
I have absolutely no idea on what would be a likely price to put on such a project.
I suppose the best advice I can offer is that you can always come down... you can never go up..
Please keep me informed as to your progress, and...
Do please drop in from time to time and keep contact - never know, you might be looking for another in time to come..... sure we can't convince you to hold onto the old girl?
frats,
Rosco

All good here, planning a big trip and emptying out pretty much everything before a possible move interstate in the future.
