hey foilks, been perving over ek9.org for a long while, thought i'd maybe join in

ok ok 1st things 1st, i don't drive an ek9 ..... i'm an EG6 man!! but hey, i'm just ur older brother!!! always had a thing for EK9's and WILL have one as a project as soon as the EG is completed.

here is a quick pic of the car as it was 2.5 years ago, will be complete in 8-10 weeks after complete strip down rebuild

will have full build thread once its complete-worth the wait i hope!

Quick question but, i have set my profile pic and seems to have been accepted, but its not displaying on my posts. not a problem i've had before....

mate, car looks good cant wait to see the build and whats been done to it. As for your pic not sure why it aint showing man could try resizing it or try uploading it from another source or something

Welcome mate, I went EG6 -> EK9 myself, a well worthwhile change!! Look forward too seeing a build thread, we love a few pics and a write up round here!

As for your pic, I spent ages getting mine to work, just keep resizing!!
