Holy crap

an ek ute is my next car for sure!

do you mind if i ask where u picked it up?

Once i finish paying off my uni fees i thought id treat myself and sell the fc wagon and get an fc ute, which is what ive always wanted, but i think this has just inspired me to get an ek (ive always had a soft spot for them) sorry if that offends any1  ;D ;D ;D

Wayne,
Yes i will be keeping this one, my wife says if this one goes "so do I"

Paul,
I bought it from a guy in Oyster bay (SYD Metro) he claims to have spent 2 years restoring / doing it up.

Geez you blokes make it hard , now i am tempted to paint the FB ute 2 tone , its hard enough building a car back to standard without being tempted with photos like this !! Now where did I leave my pills..............

[RUBBLE]

Hey kermit ;)
nice ride,what brand are the rims and are they early holden pattern?they would look good on my fc
cheers rubble 8)

[Burnsy]

That is beautiful, but isn't it a FB, not an EK??  Has FB pelum, overriders, grill and flash - but the bonnet bar is EK ;D

Blacky, don't worry about the pills, just paint it two tone, looks too good to pass on.

awwww nuts - you beat to the draw, i wanted to mention that it is an FB too. was feeling all clever and everything. too slow  :-/

two tone treatment looks great

[nicko]

vvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy NICE

[Kermit]

For those who asked "is it not an FB"  the guy that built it claims that much of the chrome was in bad shape + the rear ute section was so badly rusted that he got hold of an FB ute and used its rear + chrome pieces. On the front inner guard it is clearly stamped "EK" he also put the chrome / flash on because he felt it lifted the side appearance a little

Beeyoodiful toy, Mick.  The FB flash really does break up the slab-sided look.  And the door trims are great.

Don't let Harko near it!

Slim,
Dont tempt me i think you are the "Devil". Dont worry about the wheels they may not be on it too long i may have to put them on the old Grey smoker to sell it !
