Just to clarify Trev's comment Yogie,

Late run FB's had pre-production inferior EK body sections in them and like all EK's they had major rust issues.Look for an early to mid production FB and they'll all be rust free!!

I don't want to put shit on EK's ..... But ......

Someone has done it for us .....

The best EK I have seen in a while

Might even win this year at the nats. Could be the pic of the bunch

Bullshit Steve

That sedans engine was so powerful it launched itself straight through the front of the car!!!

Either that or it was some FB owner in a real hurry to remove the ELECTRIC wiper motor, lol !!!

As for all that moss - it could have settled on any of those cars but chose the EK because of their fantastic and envious reputation. All the FB's in the yard had already been cut up and sent to China to make knock off parts.

Great pic - where was that taken?

Actually, the pointed style grill looks cool, Wonder what the bonnet would like if it were to match.

how rusty do you want it picked up 2 today an EK and an FB and without being funny guess which one is rusted to death
for old unloved cars the one that is rusty is one of the worst i've seen the one that's not rusty is one of the better ones both different models too

funny that these came from VIC too, but it's not the EK that's rusty

the guy i got them off must've been gutted when i got the FB i was undecided wether to do a right turn and go straight to the scrappers or left and take it home and cut the roof and rear couch cut he paid $400 and had to go to VIC to get it

but it's a standard so there's front screen trim, bottom A pillar cuts, standard painted dash material on the seats seems ok so there's a few bits

only reason the early fbs have no rust is cause thres only a big hole where the rust used to live terry
