Thinking of recycling some of the running gear from the FC wagon into a "cheap 'n' cheerful" EK Wagon project.
Is it possible (without heavy mods) to install the entire front and rear ends from the FC into the EK?
Any tricks or traps to watch out for?

Too easy bolts straight in unless its Auto.

But to make it look any good you might struggle to get the front grille bonnet bumper bars doors tailgate rear tail light sections to fit properly. Grin

Stinky,

I think that the only issue that you will have is the barake cylinder piping diameter is different from the FC to the FB/EK. Change the piping as well and it won't be an issue.

 I think the rear spring hangers are wider for the EK springs and possibly the front outrigger may differ, apart from that, auto or not, it should all bolt up.
