Hello All,
I am hoping somebody out there can help.
I would love to have a rear section of a wagon roof FE, FC, FB, EK. I need the corners only, for the nice bowl shape of the corners for use elsewhere.
Alternatively can anybody suggest another vehicle with similar shape in the roof? ive thought perhaps a kombi roof?
I have no pain in chopping up kombis...
(essentially I need a rounded corner)
thanks
Ed ;)
And who said there was nothing worth salvaging on this:

Hi Ed,
RET didn't say whether or not that rig was still available for parts, but if you don't have any luck there, try Rick from Radical Early holdens again. He has a wagon that would have the bits you require. Ph 0740555091
Cheers
Jason.
P.S Got my motor today VT Comm wreck 51000k's with all the other goodies I need, now got to get it up here.
Hi Richard and Jason,
Thanks for the tantalising pic Richard, I could have used loads of bits off that!.. B Pillar, roof section plus more..
Now to find another CARcass
;)
Good to hear the Van is making progress Jason!.. You should see Les' V6 sedan for some inspiration!
Cheers
Ed
the idea of the roof is to use the shape to re-fabricate my firewall recesses (i want it neater..)
still thinking of it... I reckon the wiper motor recess may provide the right shape also for this purpose...
anybody have a suitable donor?
please..... gonna scan the trading post...
once upon a time there was a bloke at Campelltown with FC to EK wrecks (scott somebody...?Eagleview Rd?), does anybody know if he is still around?
Hi Ed
As far as i know Scott still lives there but he does'nt deal in the parts anymore because one of the local
wreckers put him in to the council.They told them he was running a wrecking yard from his home so the council made him stop selling parts.

I've been to Warren Watt's house out at Thirlmere a few times to scavenge parts of EK's (before seeing the light) and he has at least 6 EK's but I've misplaced his number so if you want to track him down he is a senior member of the FB-EK car club of NSW ,Hope this help's
And for your info I've found welding many metal's that EK is the best /Very malluable ,workable ,soft etc etc.
Thanks Harko,
