that's the same flash that had been on the ute that i went to look at, the only bits of the flash left were right front guard and bits on the left rear 1/4 most of which was damaged

That's the flash kit I'm chasing for my van, any one knows of one let me know!!!!
I know I've prob got wishfull thinking but it's worth a try,
if I can't get 1 by the time the van is painted I'll have a go at trying to make something up!!

Gday Bonnie
These days you will have to find one on a car for sale, and you would have to buy the car
or you may find a second hand kit, removed from a wreck, on E-bay, rarely seen though.
maybe you may get lucky at a swap meet.
They are hard to come by.
Cheers

When I was a kid in Goulburn a little old lady drove one around town that looked so much like this. (flash kit may have been different). I fell in love with it! Always wanted an EK from then on. Loved the colour scheme with the flash kit. Pity I never had one though

There was a nos flashkit for sale on ebay sometime back now....Bermuda I think from memory....A guy "mr nos" won it,but the gronk seller wouldnt let it go cos of the sale price.
I thought it was a bargain when it went off,but I was outbid due to my tightarse bid...the gronk is a swapmeet regular,Im sure lots of you know him ....he always has about 20
EH gauge clusters for sale and wrecks out heaps of early stuff in Western Sydney.....Did anyone here end up with it?
Just curious,from memory he wanted about a grand for it.
A true gronk,but it was a rare and very cool item.
And yes,it was bloody ages ago....

What's a Gronk? Must be an Eastern States thing.
The Urban Dictionary says that "
GRONK" is the noise Miss Piggy makes when Kermit mounts her
