Hewey and Liana's EK ute

Post by hewey »

Okay first of all a massive thanks to Damo (Dmullaly) for selling me the ute. I've basically been bugging him since he casually mentioned he 'might' be considering selling it :lol: :lol: :lol: He was pretty reluctant to let it go, in fact if you look at the rear quarters you can see the scratches where he was trying to hold onto it as I was driving off :lol: :lol: :lol: But yeh, very stoked with it and a big thanks to Damo for letting it go. Before Damo owned it was owned by Stanley - so 3rd generation forum owner :lol: :lol:

Its basically a low but otherwise stock EK ute. I can tell you haven't really driven anything old for a few years, hell not even driving a manual, it was um... interesting driving across the guts of Sydney this morning :shock: Drum brakes, a crash box and Sydney traffic dont go together real well. :roll: God I was thankful to hit the M4 and ditch the traffic :wink: Best part was coming back through Penrith and a guy in a stunning 34 coupe giving me the thumbs up - man Ive missed having an old car!

Of course once I was home and had grabbed some lunch I had to go for a drive and get some pics. Did a bunch more cruising and got more pics and only headed home cause I was heading out tonight.

Just a solid (but a little rough around the edges) cruiser we can chuck the bikes in and head to the beach or to CRAKK, or head into Harrys or drive interstate. Got a long list of little things I want to sort out, like with any old car :lol: Came with a visor so I'll chuck that back on, take the towball off for now and chuck the bumperettes back on, paint the steelies with some colour (copper or yellow/cream not sure yet), maybe some removable timber rails on the tray side tops, and maybe some signage for the blog on the doors.

Man its good to be driving a column shift again! Takes me back to driving my first car (Torana)

Looks sweet as Hewey
It's funny jumping in an old girl after not driving one for a while.
But you soon get used to it. With drums all round in Sydney you gotta anticipate a long way ahead ALL the time.

Not the stinkin' Pontiac, fixed the starter today but it has rooted the drive plate. Motor out!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:
Probably the loaner Harley, most reliable thing here at the moment.

Sorry for the deviation, back to Hewey & the ute.
