Hi all,

Been going a coupla rounds with the ute over the last few days and have fitted up the dif and the front cross member. Fitted the front springs and axles this morning.Also put a bit of colour in the engine bay just to see what it will look like. I will put some progress pics up tonight when I get home.(Work)

Hi again,

As mentioned earlier here it is with some of the "keep the floor off the ground stuff" attached. Enjoy Cheers Russ

Again Hi,

It should have an old set of wheels on it over the weekend. I can then move it around and outside       (photo with it's cousins) so I can get to the floor (shed) and give it a bit of a tidy up. More to follow.

Hi again folks.

Doing a bit of welding on the many "Bullet" holes in the guards and where the bonett latches. Guess what was in the left head light peak, about 1/2 a metre of fly screen and 2 tubes of black crap. Guess who needs a head light peak, and a guard. Here's some pics.

yUM yUM

Got to love that fiberglass tape crap that holds moisture...



e bay for some new peaks.

[BLOK]

Looking good Rusty keep it up looking forward to following this build

[Rusty_T]

 ;D ;D

Hi all,

Have the head light peak for the left guard plus a spare. Right guard is not to bad. No holes in the guards at all now,except the peak L/Guard. I will put up some pics once I take them. The guy I got the peaks off is also making the lower corner of the guard as well. He said he has been inundated with calls for them. So keep an eye out.

Cheers Rusty

[Stewy]

No big tank, same in ute and station sedan nine and a half gallons.

 ;D ;D

Pete,

What stewy said. The ute has the same tank as the wagon. Same floor pan as well.
Anyway, lot of rust (out) and work went into these and there not done yet. Will replace the bottom corners when they are available, here's the guards.

Right one









I'm pretty happy with the way the head light surround (Chrome bit) fits as well.

The left guard is much the same only it needs the peak fitted. That's another story.





Left one



Cheers Rusty

[FCRB26]

Thats what happens when you stop drinking pretty stupid question now i think of it. ;D

Guard looks good nothing a bit of bog wont tidy up.

[Rusty_T]

Done a little more on the ute today. Here are some progress pics.

Put a bit of colour in and around the engine bay and it's starting to look a bit of alright.





And a bit more over the dash and instrument cluster.





And started on that mudguard.








More pics as they come to hand. Nice ute as well Matt

Cheers Rusty

[Rusty_T]

Mmmm!

Forgot the instruments.





Cheers again
