BLOK,

It's going to be  tough build with a dirt floor. Hang in there though, it will be all worth it in the end

What a mongrel trick to have so much rain just before the weekend and bugger up you floor. At least with a slab down it will make it much more comfortable to work on the ute.

Pulled the tailgate apart and started to straighten it up a bit

[BLOK]

I tidied up the rims a bit

[EffCee]

Good to see that you are making progress, BLOK.

Gotta love working on the slab, rather than the dirt. Wheels look good, 1/4 is going to take some work, by the look of it. Keep up the good work

Shelves look the goods, extra heavy duty!

The scary bit starts Im going to do the main repairs at work were i have access to a mig and bending machines plus a guilotine dont want it to snap in half on the way




Making shore it goes back together at the correct height



Knocked up some inner and outer sills at work
