well the car wasn't finished when i sold it there was still a fair way to go,interior,all cargo area and brake lines suspension wasnt set up properly there was engineers report that needed to be done as it is running an injected 5litre.it would have needed another 8-10 thousand dollars spent plus the labour in doing all the small stuff which i didnt have time for.I set up all the engine,chassis and running gear side of it and had all the paint done as well as the electrical and chrome work and had it at the stage where u could hit the key and it would start but that was it,now i can enjoy it again and just finish off small items that need doing

waynos

just wondering why the seller would  finish it and sell it back to you,was that the plan?

Great looking Ute  Tuffute we welcome another Ute to our growing family. What about a shot of the power plant and never let it go again next time you might not get it back .........FC427..........

just wondering what type of seat you are using? Cool looking ute

Hey tuffute,
                      What sort of radiator and cooling fan setup are you using there? Radiator sits nice and low and looks like the cross support hasn't butchered like it can with using some radiators.

Well done

Cheers   M
