I think the wagon now has been re bodied somewhere along the way.

Still looks like the same car today to when I first saw it and met the owner in 1985.

There was a story on the wagon somewhere were it was travelling all over Australia and was smashed and they had to either rebody it or graft a section on to it. Ill see if I can find the article.

This is the story of when the EK wagon was smashed and rebuilt.

What model is the wagon Laurie?

Dam it. I had to go to work for a couple of hours and Brett beat me to it. I didn't think anyone was going to get that one.

Thanks for that Brett. I didn't know that the car had been a cut and shut. Sounds like that accident happened long before I first saw the car.

By the way Robin's Holden station wagon is an FB not an EK.
