Stocked Up

SHANE has an impressive shed. The blue EH Prem was his first car and he’s owned it for about six months longer than he has the ute; so in other words, 28 and a half years! It still runs a 179, backed by a five-speed Celica cog-swapper. The custom EH convertible is a beaut-looking thing that’s been on the scene for 20 years and cut many a lap of the Summernats cruise route. The panel van was a big project; Shane purchased it from a mate for just $350 and gave it a ground-up rebuild, treating it to a 350 Chev, Turbo 350 trans and a nine-inch diff. The FJ is a ridgy-didge original old tilly that’s in great shape, with only 22,000 miles on the dial. It’ll be Shane’s next project, and he plans on restoring it to as-new condition. If you reckon he needs an EH wagon to complete the box-set of EH body styles, don’t worry – he has one, it’s just in his other shed!
