Hi everyone! My names Daniel, but this car belongs to my neighbor Graham. My sisters boyfriend, Sam, Graham and Myself took the hammers and sanders and paint to this rarer old school Holden and in 2 weekends turned it back into a truly appreciated Classic car.
These EK's and their conterpart the FB Holden are the Aussie version of the '57 Chevy.
Lucky for us Graham is only the third owner of "Betsy" so its been looked after, BUT, the car was built in 1962 and any car that age is going to have some little hidden surprises.
As you can see thses cars are representatives of a different era.
Graham has done a lot to the car already such as rubuilding the motor, suspension, brakes, new carpet etc.etc.
Back in their day, young blokes used to race these cars on the streets and highways all over Australia.
Anyways thats enough happy snaps or before shots, lets roll her into the garage!!
These are a few pic from old advertisements for these cars! A couple of wich are from the original brochure.
Click on page 8 if you want to skip to the final product!! And please vote for me!! Below is a photo of the finished product, but we are still looking for some of the original crome peices like crome stripes down the side and a piece that sits on the middle of the hood.
Not bad hey we took her from this;
To this in a matter of 2 weeks. Its all just a walk in the park when you know what your doing and you line it all up!!
