Hi all, heres are a few pictures of our new ek we picked up from ebay
.we brought the car from Blackheath nsw. My 20yo nephew drove it home(about 400 k's and it didnt miss a beat).while i towed the spares car.he has never driver an old holden before so it was an experience for him.. he liked the fact that everyone looked when you went through towns(so there might be hope for him yet).The sedan has got a 173 init and a trimatic also a hr disc front end.karen wants to sell her vt and keep this as a everyday driver.. this sedan needs a GOOD tidy up...and to be lowered to get rid of the 4x4 look...This picture was taken on the way home in front of red rooster at bathurst.
Cheers mark/karen

Didn't know you were coming through! I would come and met you no problem. If anyone is passing through Bathurst and wants to catch up gives us a yell.

what sort of condition is it actually in it was in the trading post a while ago but the owner made it sound like a shitter
he was either to honest or had no idea
i'm guessing if you bought it it mustn't have been to bad
the spares car came from Mt vic towing i think

hi weve pulled the front and rear screens out and found a bit of rust.So we repaired the rust and we painted the wheels red and if we decide we like them red we will be getting a set sandblasted and powder coated red with some flappers or white walls..We got some 2inch blocks of ebay today so its off to the shed to lower the back and do the front tomorrow..
Cheers Mark/Karen

Its amazing how a little bit of paint can realy tidy up a car .
Cant wait to see it progress and I bet Karen loves cruising with a red motor

Thats really good Mark. Although why they went over it so hard "just" because its old surpises me. Should be the same for everything....
