Don't paint it,don't polish it,don't even wash it.

Drive it as it is....well.... after some front guards 'n bumper.

I love it!!

Well..... 'spose you'll hafta wash the windscreen so you can drive it.....

BUT DON"T WASH ANYTHING ELSE OK

rust in the front of sub frame will buff out

or for a better finish give it a clear coat

Is that an EK or an FB ? I didnt think you could get an EK without indicators fitted, only FB`s
You are a bloody tease SCK, where the details ???

I know of a Banff Blue windowless FB van which is for sale at the rigth price - it is WAAAAAAAY up in the bush in a cockys shed - it would look SOO good sitting next to my Banff Blue FB ute but I think the missus would kill me if I bought another one home - we currently have 7.

This van has had a life - I'd love to know it's history.............
guess it's going to be the only one who will ever know.........

So, what's with the compensating front end on an incline..............love the Fergie............. had to "learn" how to start one of those once - looked all over the blasted thing for a starter rod/lever/switch/button..............never would have thought........... keep it a secret and next the let one "learn" those in the "know"...........

Matt - it's your easel........ I'd run out of years before I finished what I would have planned for it................. looking forward to your decision......

frats,
Rosco

Wow guys,

didnt expect to come back to the computer and find so many responses

This van is a Standard EK, no indicators, painted window trims, dash and tailight surrounds, the very basics, probably a Govt car or the like.

It does however have a Nasco day/night mirror fitted and an AC external oil filter fitted to the old grey. It is pretty bloody straight but has some rust that requires repairing. I bought it with the intent of restoring it, including the grey motor. My theory being; 3 vans- 1xV8, 1xRed Motor 6 and 1xGrey Motor Stockie/resto.
Having recently returned from a trip to Melbourne, I have decided to persue another car (sshhh Patrick!), which will leave me with not enough space to keep this van. Therefore, this car is now FOR SALE. I will be selling as is, but with a good pair of Y-Frames already sourced for it.

If you are interested, send me a PM and I will give you more details, etc. I want to offer it to Forum Members first, after which point I will offer it to the ebay community with a no reserve opening bid of $2k.

It is important to note that this car is a rebuilder, a very rare car and an excellent starting point for the price.

If you want any more info, let me know. The decision to let it go will probably be one I regret later, but as Ben Cousins said...such is life!!

Cheers,
SCK
