Title: E K  Rust in sills and y frame HELP PEASE
Post by: dinky on November 20, 2002, 07:46:28 AM
Hi we are new to this site and would love some assistance.  We have a EK Ute and is a good size project but the 1st problem is we need a photo of what the actual sill and y frame should look like as ours has been butchered so badly :'(  that we cannot recognise how to make original looking.  
If anyone has a pic that could help us for our reconstructive surgery on our baby then it would be much appreciated.  we have pics if it would help ill add one to show this sad state of affairs.

Hi Dinky
      From looking at your photo it looks like someone has welded the legs of the front subframe to the body. This is NOT how it should,the front subframe is bolted on by a special bolt on each of the inner & outer legs,3 bolts & 2 screws on each of the side skirts.
hope this helps

I have a 90% complete original EK special sedan that I have sitting in a yard.If you are interested,I think it would be a good donor car.It has a fair bit of rust in it,but i think the subframe and that section of floor are not too bad.Dont know where you live,but the car is in Rosebud Vic.The car has never been modified,still with grey motor.I will post vin and eng no' if interested.
Regards Geoff.
