When I got my Amberley Blue with white roof EH wagon in the late 70s (for $450) the only rust in it were the floor pans which were really bad. Thankfully the father of a friend from school had a panel beating business and replaced them with new ones for $180, even painted them with some rust protection stuff. Best car I ever had. Mine had a 161 from an HR and three on the tree.
Come a long way Graham gone the days of that ugly bitumen stuff that disolves and is such a mess to work with your doing a great job must be nice to have dad working together as a team nice touch
There should be a AUS national standard,not this every state has a different procedure.A repair is repair.Stupid people justify their jobs at the government are they engineers or pen pushes? Good job Graham 🇦🇺👍👍👍👍
Thank for the approx $"s used in doing then front as I to am on a tight budget but want a good job like i can see from the video's you have posted and my time is free
Cheers chumaroony. Love your work and showing us backyarders. My HQ Rare spare floorpans are way too short. Dang nabbit. It's quite the quandry. Decided to do the lap.😉
Piss easy job I remember oxy butt welding em in back in the day hot hammered with a big kidney dolly and a round faced cross pain and now days I done one I lapped it five mills and mighty mig welded it in got the apprentice to grind it up
I put floor pans in a HQ one tonner a few years ago using Rare Spares parts and they do exactly the same arse about fold along the inner sill section on them too. The perfectionist in me was annoyed so I had chop it about and put it in the way the factory did it. I know the parts are not perfect reproductions but I wish they would stop taking liberties and make them as close to original as possible. The cars the floor pans are going into are worth considerably more than when these reproduction parts were first made available and it's time they took quality and conformity to original spec up a notch.
Graham I have to fill in a sunroof on an xc.....would you do it the cut tack cut tack method as you have down on the EJ floor or use another method. I have a cutout from another roof so it is same contour etc but just not 100% sure i should use the the cut tack way or not. cheers
oh sunroof hole i feel your pain thats gonna be about as fun as being hit in the crouch with a brick the cut and tack method is a good one just remember when welding it start at one side and work your way around cos every tack weld will pull the steel together so time and patience will be your friend
Go away and watch something else Karl. Graham’s fans appreciate his style, humour and technical skills and they amusing way he shares it all. If this is not your style, piss off!
Your humour and attitude are a big part of your videos, it's not just the work that makes the content. Nice update, thanks.
I enjoy watching the EJ videos even though I'm a Ford tragic.
ditto
chaps and chapperoonies, great work mate
I like the work both you and your father have done this will be one tidy EJ, the wagon looks really good keep up the good work.

Looking awesome my friend
Good work per usual mate.
Top job as always 👍
Nice work mate! Exactly how I do mine and the Holden ones do fit pretty good aye 🇦🇺
I think that front end looks absolutely amazing,if I get the underside of my falcon I will be over the moon 👍👍
Good vid 👍Rare spears seem to be more holden based
Good call leaving the weld there. Like you said, there is no reason to grind and prep it
Getting there!

They are probably still using the original floor pan dies that have been used for decades and are getting worn.

The only time you need to get RWC in Victoria is when the vehicle changes owners, reregistered or if the cops put you off the road for a defect.
Nice work..she's coming only.
