Title: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Its_Not_Pink on May 06, 2005, 09:34:48 AM Hi Guys,
Just wanted to show everyone on here my car. I know its not an fc or fe but once this car is shmicko the next project will be a fc ute with 307 chev but being a uni student thats a fair way off. The car history is it was my grandpa's before he passed away last year. He owned it since 1963 after my uncle wrote-off his t-model the family didn't have any transport so they bought this 12 months old. The car has since been his only ever daily driver and has been registered all its life. I assume its been around the clock a number of times from the stories my father told me about travelling around Australia in it several times. Engine: 138 grey all original only just installed a fuel filter after dirty fuel troubles. hydra-matic Paint: Original paint is barrier coral over pyramid coral and needs a fair bit of touching up but looks good from far far away. lol I haven’t done much to the car just put some seat covers on it as the old seat covers the foam had crumbled and was giving me sneezing attacks. I have painted the wheels. Given her a good cut and polish. Polished the crome. Rebuilt the carby. Installed a stereo in the glovebox and made some kick panels and put some speakers in them. That’s about it. Sorry again its not an fe fc but i no some of you must have ek's or at least be interested in them. Hope you enjoy the pics..

i believe feek on the forum has the same colored ek. very nice, torque Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Martin on May 06, 2005, 12:09:52 PM Nice looker, Gareth.
In my opinion, the EK looks much better than the FB - in the same way the FC looks better than the FE ;D ;D ;D fight ... fight ... fight :D Why "Nancy" Martin Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Sarge on May 06, 2005, 07:05:10 PM Yeah Gareth
Very clean and nice looking Pink EK, this should make young Torque happy to see another FB/EK here on the FE/FC site. Martin sticks and stone old son sticks and stone, :-* am not going to bit at this as we all know the true. Besides now I have one of each I am on the fence. ;) Cheers Sarge Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: fe2ek on May 06, 2005, 07:45:32 PM Hi There,As the Guru (Torque FC )said ,Ive got a similar coloured one.Mine is capricorn coral.
Cheers Geoff Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Shayne on May 06, 2005, 10:16:59 PM Nice looking EK, made all the more special no doubt, by the fact that it was your Grandfather's.
Why do you call her Nancy? Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Phantom on May 07, 2005, 01:06:54 AM Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm more ek pics?
Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Sarge on May 07, 2005, 02:51:54 AM Yeah Rusty
But at least on has an FE ute in the background I guess thats a start. Cheers Sarge Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: RET on May 07, 2005, 03:09:03 AM Quote Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm more ek pics? (Rusty, this is not directed solely at you. Don't take it the wrong way.) Look, all you wanna-be moderators, just give it a rest, OK? Leave the moderating to me. If I think someone's abusing the forum, you all know I'm perfectly capable of letting them know. The thread is clearly titled "Nancy the Special EK", and it's on the Members Photo Album board, so it shouldn't come as a terrible surprise that it might contain images of an EK. Stranger things have happened. If you aren't interested, don't open the thread. I think this thread is OK. It's bad netiquette habits such as hijacking other people's threads with irrelevant images that will see the perpetrators being dealt with. By me. Dig? cheers RET Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: gp on May 07, 2005, 03:13:37 AM Hey Gareth,
Nice car. Cheers, Graham Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Phantom on May 07, 2005, 04:01:08 AM Ret are you picking on me AGAIN , (i cant seem to do anything right) am i a PITA?
Rusty(no more comments from me) Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: Its_Not_Pink on May 07, 2005, 04:08:26 AM Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate them and i'm sure my grandpa would have too.
Nancy was my grandma's name and also i think it suits the car perfectly.. I wish my ek pics had a fe ute in the background! ::) Sorry for causing forum trouble i had a feeling this thread might but i couldn't resist. Just don't reply when everyone's had enough and it will eventually disappear. Cheers Gareth (remember its not pink - its coral) Title: Re: Nancy the Special EK Post by: 4hammers on May 07, 2005, 06:47:06 AM Sweet,
