Yes I just got my EJ project and yr wisdom and knowledge is invaluable Legend

Im about to commence the restoration of my EJ. Fortunately its been in the family since its purchase in '66.and has been relatively protected throughout its life so far. Thanks for the interesting trivia comparing the EJ with the EH. EJ;s are largely forgotten. I look forward to following you on your journey of restoring her.

I love playing spot the difference haha and should be a fun one

Mate as a child of the sixties, the question of 60s fords and Holden's was what didn't rust! I remember shopping for cars and parking them so the sun showed the already bulging bog covering huge rust problems. If you looked at a car and it had a lovely fresh new paint job, you kept walking I notice you've also had washing machine problems too. The EJ was fine except for the 1940s grey motor🙈🙉🙊

All the way with Eeeeee JeeeeeYYYY! with da Greeeeyyy. Love the swept lines of the EJs...

Can't wait to see this thing run!

I've looked for 5 years for a decent J but everything I've checked out is just like this even some nice painted ones !!

I love EJ/EH utes and have a project going at the moment. But, though they are the best looking ute Holden made IMO, we really need to question our sanity to pursue a car which rusts SOOO badly. A sign of the manufacturing times. I imagine, Holden didn't expect there would be any left after 60 years.

Looking forward to seeing it running, My EK has similar places to rust. I am working on my Plenum chamber now lots of hidden stuff in the A pillar area. 👍

Good to know the differences.

All the info you may never need hahha

I love this idea, make a complete running car out of parts alone.

Great vid Graham!! Isn't it funny that the EJ had much more extravagant styling everywhere - & it's update (EH) was much more simplified. Tiger.

The ej was a clean piece of paper at the start the eh was just a facelift and not all facelifts look good haha

The EJ definitely took some cues from America (late 50s - early 60s Chev).

Holden sent an EJ to America for evaluation and when Harley Earl saw it, he drew up the EH and sent the design back to Melbourne.

Wow, how to make me feel better about my LC torana and I thought that was rusty AF !!

Love the EJ/EH but i think they had rust from brand new

My EJ had rust in the front guards just above the chrome trim over the headlights and the rear left floor had pinhole rust because a little cup fitting had been dented, oh and the car was all of 3 years old, pale primrose yellow colour.

Who knows what happened to it prior to you getting it ive heard plenty of stories of cars being crashed and damaged pre delivery and youd be stunned to know its still happens alot these days

had a 64 it was a great running car , as i lot of say wish i had it today

My first car was an EJ, 13×7 jellybeans on the back, 149 red, prem console and ap6 buckets fitted. 1/3 turn play in the steering wheel. My first real car was a 265 auto VH Charger.

My Brother was lucky about 12 months ago. he had always wanted an EH, and found an original survivor example in pristine condition. its had a respray at one stage in its life, in its factory white colour, but otherwise its just as it rolled out the factory. when he go it home he spent a day going over it with a fine tooth comb and it doesn't have a spot of rust anywhere to be found on it. not often you'll find them like that these days.

Hi graham that will be a good one for a rotisserie make life easier for you 💪🏼👍🏽👌🏼🇦🇺🔨🚘😁keep them coming

The plan is assemble a complete running car out of spares and then strip and put away carefully all the parts and put on a rotisserie

Is this about the same = for EH's

I bought an EH just over a year ago. I checked everywhere with my bore camera. No rust anywhere. But the floors have been replaced

as far as my knowlodge with those holdens it would likely be very similar. and yes ej eh holdens can rust everywhere haha

So if you are going to completely put the ej together before rebuild do we get a first start vid after sitting in bits for 30 years lol . You got an awesome channel thank you for sharing you knowledge Graham keep it up👍🇳🇿
