Hi Lulu and Rohan,
just perfect - I'm sure your pictures don't do justice to your work.
I look forward to getting an "eyeball" of your wagon.
Love what you have done under the roof.
Yes, I like the blackened sections behind the grill too.
Did you put some rubber plugs into those front subframe holes where the nose of the cross member bolts on - an old chap told me to do this a long time ago - Clark Rubber have them. You know the ones, they are a flat 20 cent piece shape with a groove all around for fitting into the hole.
Apparently a lot of crap can get into the subframe when is comes in through the grill.
Love your paintwork - don't let people wear it out with their cameras.

Dead right there Dee.
Crap does make it's way through those holes over time, and lots of it.
Righto now Lulu/Rohan,
Now KC's on the road again, book in for next years Nationals.
You guys have got a stopover point here at the FB/EK retirement home if you need a night stay somewhere ( I'll hide our frypans first ).
No excuses will be accepted

nearly makes me want shinney paint

Thanks very much everyone. We are so pleased and was worth the wait. I will admit it was horrible not having her for those few weeks but knew in the end it would all be worth it. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that one.
While KC was off the road, we just shared the one car (vs) and if I had to go somewhere and Ro had the car, I would just hop on the scooter to get around.
As a couple of you said, it is very addictive and was hard not to keep going. Was very tempting actually but wanted to give poor Ron a break and research some things ready for round 2 resto next year.
Not sure about weather the rubber plugs were fitted Dee but will find out as they sound like they need to be on there.
It's a great B/Day pressie to have her back home. My best mate and her daughter are staying the weekend and will take them for a cruise in her to the pub on the river here. They haven't seen the car in the flesh yet but have shared the journey with us with updates over the phone.
If we don't go to the Nationals next year where Terry can return all my frypans, we'll go to AHD again in Sydney. One of the two. Will see what happens with resto part 2 finances and timing wise.
Hopefully this post may have been some help to a couple of you. If you need to know any details about anything the boys have done to KC, then drop me a pm and will be happy to let you know.
Thanks again for the comments, will let Ron know his work is admired. Will get the old boy blushing

Bev...
Well Hi there stranger..and where have you been, huh, huh, huh???
You been ok I hope.
EKSPCL & THOMMO...Why Thankyou
We took her for a good cruise today up to Stuarts Point & Fishermans Reach. Purrrrrdddd like a kitten and was nice to see the bird on the bonnet.
There was a house on the highway that has an EK in the shed and something else that was behind some trees, looked to be an EK or FB but couldn't quite make it out. Might ask a couple of old Holden locals if they know who lives there. Get some goss...lol
dave...really? now that's exciting news! Looking forward to hearing those updates on her.
