Chop it!

Hi Greg,

Will be looking forward to seeing more updates when you get back into it.

It is good to have a parts car.

Mal

the sad bit is it looks like the EK has been shoved over in a back corner

Hi Greg,

And I thought your shed at your old address was big. How many FB EK's can you fit in the new one...

regards
Stewart

Hi Guys,
Stewart if I tried real hard I could probably get 9 cars in the shed but no room to work.
Ratbox don't worry there's plenty of room to work around it, just got to get the rotisserie set up again.
I still need acouple of days to sort it all out then full swing again.

Im going to use some body parts of the spare ek (rear right 1/4, auto hump and part of the firewall front guards and subframe) so if anybody wants something for rust replacement let me know, not sure how much is good although.

The motor, auto, front end and diff will also need to go to a good home.

Mal I have the eyes on again so look out just might catch up to you!

Regards Greg

Hi Greg,

9! I'd love to have that much room...sigh...

Do you know what the boot area is like around the petrol tank? I'd be interested if it was OK.

Stewart

Stewart,

Looking for you tomorrow.
All I can say is that Ive been lying on floors and squeezing around cars all my life. I nearly chucked it all in a few years ago because I was sick and tired of it. The new old shed has cost me a bomb but I needed it for my sanity if you know what I mean. A hoist and Im set hopefully for a few more years to come.

Regards Greg

OK Guys and Girls,

Ive been up and at em and progress has now started once again.
Ive lashed out and bought a hoist and believe me its the best thing Ive ever done!
The parts car reaching for the sky before i got at it with the rattle gun.
Its almost stripped bare.


The left sill now removed waiting for the new one

You can see the extra plating under the sub frame for strength that comes with crs kit

Hole for the exhaust. The engine will have to go back in so I can do the tunnel and all the last bits before the panel shop.

Till next time Greg

Don't do it, Greg

Extractors through the guards OOHH so
Not my cup of tea.

Good to see you've got the old hoist up and running, starting to look like a real workshop now, ahh so much room how nice it is. Snarl, snarl.
Just lucky I have I a workshop.

Regards John

and now you have room for 10
i don't really like the fender well type pipes either, but if it's that or a gray motor hand me the grinder

Hi Greg,

Good to see your finally back into it again. Big shed and ready to get into it ...... no reason it won't be ready for Yamba 08.

Cheers

Hello Greg,

Your talking to much and wasting far to much time on that computer of your's.
It's time to gets some action happening on the old girl.
You have a nice big workshop now,.....you have to plan and organise your missus to bring you beers and your dinner, slap some good music on and away you go...
Be done in no time..be sure to invite the kids, that way you will be spending quality time with them.

Regards John

Hey John,
Got your motor back together yet?

I know I know I've got to get crankin again.

I really do feel like im in the circus at the moment jugling everything
Cars ,house, kids, work ! You all know the story.

Mate one last fling at Bathurst over easter and I'll hang the gloves up till I finish the EK

Will update as I go.

Regards greg

thanks
