FC Ute

[FCRB26]

Today my glass turned up
Extremely happy looks mint.
Very well packaged
And the finish looks fantastic.
Also the big girl got blasted and his compressor blew up on the last quarter panel in the 40deg heat.
So im guessing monday.
No nasty finds everything we allready knew about.

his compressor blew up on the last quarter panel in the 40deg heat.

I'd expire too doing this in 40 deg.

Looks terrific. Shaping up in time for the Christmas break.

If anyone want my seat trim its free if you pay postage .
Got carried away as it had broken springs and I want it really deep boulstered sides so we are sheeting in the top and bottom for the foam to mount too.
Then my mate Todd will shape the foam.

I thought of digging a big hole with the excavator and lining it with plastic and chucking the frames in with some volts l. That would get the rust off everything best. But not sure what I should do if anything. What's your opinion.

[FCRB26]

Blast it takes 10 min and its done.

No witchcraft power in the ground here if its slow i dont want to know about it time is money...

Was this the ute that just needed a little tidy up???? ::)

Good to see the quality is still there on these little jobs Pete.

Then I can throw a heap of other  stuff in the hole. We're a bit slow out west. That's ok.

What's it getting sealed with.

[FCRB26]

Not sure he uses de beers products so he said a certain sealer on the big panels and another type around the areas to be repaired welded ect

[FCRB26]

All epoxy etch primed

I'm a bit jealous that you have a Ute. My plan originally was to do an fc Ute and an fe modified sedan like my blue one. But when I saw the rare original taxi  with licences I had to have it. So I'm enjoying watching this one come together and the other fc utes.

[FCRB26]

Decided to cut the sills off go the whole hog
So we are guarenteed no rust can come back at us.
We found dirt build up but no rust it was holding moisture in the dirt.
Cut 2 inspections holes either side of the spare wheel door 1 piece of rare nasco flyscreen found.



Back to the blaster monday.

When you said this:

"Ill see what its like when it gets here i may lower it a bit but dont plan on cutting it up or anything drastic.."

I suppose you didn't say that someone else won't cut it 😮

Looks great. Have you seen many in your travels with permanent grommets for regular spraying in the sills?
