I would like to post a few photos of my Dad's EK Ute. It is obviously a work in progress but nearing completion. My old man (Ron) has been a bit crook lately and so work on the ute will cease for a little while. Reason I am posting is that I want to acknowledge all the hard work that he has performed on this beautiful machine and hopefully it might provide some inspiration to others. Really proud of you dad and thanks for letting me do this (he is not the type to seek praise himself). Hope you all enjoy and I will post photos of what she looked like in her not so glory days soon.
UTEK - Thanks and I believe it lifts into 3 different sections. I'll get the old man to confirm and see if we can get a few more photos.
BTW - as can problem be seen from the photos we are struggling in getting an adhesive to do a decent enough job on the rubbers (door). Has anyone got a product they can recommend that is effective?
That's a credit to your old man mate
Nice work.
Hope he's back on track soon
(can't help you with the rubber question but I'm sure someone else can - or just do a search)
I'm not quite sure what the best glue to use is but i do know that the outer rubber gets glued to the edge of the scuff plate. Its hard to tell from the pic if you have a colour-matched scuff plate on there or if its not on yet at all. If its not there i'd be putting that one first then glueing your rubber on, all that being said i'm no seasoned veteran with this stuff- anyone second my opinion?
i used like a superglue on rubbers just went to an industrial shop and asked for a glue for sticking rubber to painted metal, what they gave me was chemfix 8406 which i think they told me was a generic loctite
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping
