i am starting to get sick of rust patching, But all the floors are now done, Just have to fit the tunnel.
I've started on the under rear seat and rear dog legs and inner wheel arches.

heres pictures of a couple of weeks work.

[TTV6FC]

Good work Nick,your dedication will pay off.Rust repairs are no fun but it feels good once they're done. ;)

[fe350chev]

It will be stronger than original once u finish with it.

[Old_Mt_Isa_Boy]

Very impressive Nick. Your getting through the pain barrier. Before you know it the rust will just be a memory.

[Stash]

I dont know if this will be a problem, there is no weight on the wheels so im hoping there will be a little more clearance with the brake caliper and the crossmember, Ive trimmed a little off.
Also i dont have the steering rack yet so maybe i wont have that much lock.
290x22 VP disks and VS Calipers on HR drum stubs and Adapters. everything bolted up perfect.






Very close, but it clears.

[FCRB26]

Shame they don't make upper joints like they use to mine were very close too.
can you run callipers on the rear

[NickZ]

i cant run the calipers on the rear as im going to have rear steering rack, well thats the plan.

[FCV08]

Nick

If you run into trouble on the upper ball joint you can also try WB ute ones.

They are sealed and a very low profile.

Cheers

as im not having any luck finding these parts : bonnet, front guards, bumpers front and rear, left hand front door glass and window regulator.
and not having alot of time to fix the ones i have, ive lost some motivation.

The shell is almost complete, but i don't think ill make it for the nats here in tassie.

If anyone has any of these part they want to sell, please let me know.
