The trick I have found with uploading pictures
is the 200k size limit.

I use Windows paint to resize HD pictures down
to 195K and then they upload every time.

The engine was Australian designed.
Started as a 149ci 6 cylinder in 1962
with a Stromberg carbie.

Ended its life in 1986 as a 202ci with
fuel injection.

As a 179ci in the EH it had a billet crank
and was unbreakable. gutless but unbreakable.

The gear box had no syncro in first so you had to
stop stationary to put it into 1st.

You had to plan ahead . . . . .

Yep that was it.

I'm impressed you know what a holden is,
even more impressed to know what an EH is.
They were made In Australia but I guess they
were designed in the USA.

Mine was a bottom of the range one and only
had a door lock in the left hand front door.

Bit of a pain considered the car was Right
hand drive.

Luck the front seat was a bench and slide
across - able

In 1982 I bought a 1964 EH station wagon.
179ci 3 speed on the tree.
four wheel drum brakes,
more rust than paint,
used more oil than petrol.

Got me to work for 2 years

All for $200

I've bought an EH special and
it's in the back of the shed under
a tarp waiting for time and money
to live again.

Next is to assemble the front end so it becomes a roller.

Most of front end suspension is made by MADDAT here in South Australia.

The fiber glass bits are made by ALFA fiberglass in Victoria

You should have the packaging from the pair of 1/4 window seals I sent you.

They contain the part numbers for Rare Spares in Australia.

Google them and look on there web site for the part numbers and prices.

I'm sure they will ship world wide.

Cheers,
Geoff

Howdy,
My 2 cents worth . . . . . .

Reproduction parts are a great idea.

But you need the market for them.

Most of the rubbers for 1200's including Coupes are available from Rare Spares in Australia.

I sold a pair of Repo 1/4 window rubbers and door seals for the coupe a couple of months ago.
I had to export them overseas to find buyers.

I still have a coupe front window rubber and repo front guards and bonnet that I could not find buyers for.

If your making you parts for the love of it, that is one thing.

But if your trying to make a living in the repo world
you need a market for your parts to make the effort worth while.

I have know people to make repo parts by advertising a build date and price,
then only going ahead with the build if they get enough people willing to put up a deposit for the parts.

Cheers
Geoff

Howdy,

I did consider using a rack and pinion.

I was able to get all of the standard steering
system new, except for the box so I took the easy
option.

A rack and pinion can always be fitted at a later
date as there is plenty of room for it now the
engine is so far back.

Time to install stuff and leave it there.

First up is the rear sub frame complete with
R200 diff and double adjustable coil overs.

Cheers,
Geoff

This was a real turning point for me. . . . .

Now that the shell is painted, stuff can be fitted up
and stay there.

Hopefully no more welding on the shell as all brackets
and sheet metal work is done.

No more on, off, on, off, trial fittings
Hopefully.

The steering is going to be the standard steering box style with idler arm.

The standard steering box has the steering column connected to the top of it.

So I could place the steering wheel were I wanted it the column was cut from the steering box and a support bearing fitted to the steering shaft as it comes out the box.

The shaft now coming out the top of the steering box was then splined to accept a normal steering knuckle.

The steering column uses two knuckle joints (uni joints)
which are off set and will allow some movement in an accident.

The collapsible part of the Honda steering column is also still used.
