IMO the rounded look of the ef el handles don't go with the box car. A lot of people on here love it though!

But the vehicle shape is different.

The boxcar sedans use different shape rear doors than the EF & EL too.


Have you thought about that NC Brad?

update while im here still having issues with the guns losing pressure found some copper pipes on the compressor are leaking so once i finished setting up this wireless internet (works well just gotta do mums computer :P ) im going to go out to the shed and strip it down and put some plumbers tape and re assemble and hopefully it works, if not i have my eye on a larger belt driven compressor at K&D.

also as stated above someones damaged the bonnet ill get a photo while im out in the shed.

cheers.

Bugger about the bonnet, hopefully it is fixable.

As for the compressor, is it just flare fittings that are leaking? I know I really need a bigger compressor when I go to paint my panel van, hoping to pickup a belt drive one before I paint up the van.

Cheers

Incorrect.

EA-ED Sedans have the same front and rear doors as the EF-EL Sedans. The difference is in the 1/4 window surround which is removable on the EA-ED, not 100% sure on the EF-EL. Can any one confirm?

Wagon rear doors are the same across them all too, and are the same as the Fairlane rear doors.

Cheers
BenJ
