I have just joined the forum as I have my eye on an unregistered EK. After searching lots of threads ( awesome info and great pics) and the WA Licensing dept guidelines, I'm still not sure about whether the standard conversion to a red 202 and a Hr front end and disc brakes can now be approved. Wondering if any one has had recent WA expereince in registering an EK with these modifications, as I am better off knowing now rather than after i have the car.

G'day Jaymac , welcome to the forum mate A red motor conversion is fairly straightforward to licence , has it been licenced with a red before ?

You will need an engineer to sign off on the conversion ,, where are you located ? North or south ?

Thanks Blacky
I am south of river and no it was not licensed with the red before, its been out of action for quite a while.
i am wondering if the engineer says its OK and then when I put the modification application in, it gets knocked back or i have to add collapsable steering and dual brake system??
does the demister have to work??
the plan is to fit power steering and the KB laser has been recommended to me, but I haven't seen any mention of it on the forum.
hope it doesn't take too long to get approval!

You will more than likely need collapsable column, 2 speed wipers , demister and a brake upgrade.

Pick someone close to you and run it by them - Salvatore Rossi is pretty good to deal with , as are Dan Pitic and Jack Apgar but they might be a bit far away .....
