Heater Conversion

Post by Coopa »

Hi Guys,
New to the page, so first of all hello all :)

I'm after ideas on heater conversions, currently I have no heater in the EK (grey 138) project sedan, my thought is I would like a heater box with floor, dash (front vents) and demister options but would like to retain the original EK heater control panel if i need to fit a second control panel next to the original one to get all functions if required.

The old girl is three on the tree so under dash space is good I was thinking something like a LH/LX heater but thinking it may hang down a little low visually.

What do you's think? :?

Hi Rusty,
I've only just got her, previous owner has stripped her already, she looks like it's complete except dash items .

I'm planning on keeping her pretty much original except a couple of minor upgrades like the heaters and electricals.

I'll spend the next few weeks lol months completing rust repairs and then get it blasted and primed and see what else shows up fix that, then complete a part reassembly to see whats missing and buggered, and complete minor changes like heaters prior to painting under carrage.

I'm In Dodges Ferry.

Cheers Matt

I got the car from a guy in Risdon Vale who bought it from another guy in Risdon Vale I beleive it was in the area for around 5/6 years.

Thanks for the offer, The main items I'm aware that I need are the dash switches, heater & guages, I'm estimating I wont need them for at least a year lol, other than that it depends how the engine and box look when I start measuring things up, I may slip in a red six if they are to far gone? very early days yet.
